Hi We traveled all summer and did some research on Bancrofts as well as my family. In the Historical Soc. in Andover, MA I found a book with information on several early families including the Bancrofts. It stated that Lt. Thomas was probably a son of the Poet but not John & Jane Bancroft. It also said that the historian George Bancroft was of this opinion also. We have been to the Wakefield Church cemetery where Lt Thomas Bancroft d. 1691 is buried along with many other Bancrofts and also Laurel Hill Cem. at Reading, MA where many more are buried. Lt. Thomas is in the town records of Dedham, MA in 1647, he later left that church and town for Lynn/Reading. My address is 5176 Laurel Dr, Concord, CA 94521 and I would love to have a copy of the TAG article on the Bancrofts if you would please share with me. Juanita
