In 1706 Thomas married a Martha Mannering at Southoe, their first child was born there. But Southoe as we have seen was a tiny place, and by 1707 Tom and Martha had moved to nearby Eynesbury, three times larger and next to St Neots, a prospering market town. Tom would have undoubtedly found more work there.
Tom spent the next fifty or so years in Eynesbury - he died there in 1759 aged 74. Martha had died in 1758.
Tom and Martha had ten children
James - born in 1707 is untraced
Martha - married William Baxter at St Neots in 1729 aged 20
Elizabeth and Mary - are untraced
Thomas - died in infancy
Ann - is untraced
Robert - there were two - the first died in infancy - the second see next post
Catherine - married John Baxter at Eynesbury in 1764 - she was 38 so there may not have been issue
Sarah - is untraced.
