Would like to know the source that suggests that Thomas (I) had the middle name of Icabod. I have never found that reference anywhere.*
Is it possible that the (I) designation that actually states that he was the FIRST generation Thomas could have gotten misinterpreted as the letter I, and then it further got misinterpeted to stand for the name Icabod because there were Ichabods in later generations? The first Ichabod was born in Falmouth circa 1721 to Thomas (3).
It is odd that Thomas (3) did not name a son Thomas, and that it took two marriages and several male children later before Ichabod named a son Thomas. I am wondering what happened to the family dynamics.
*Not in any source material other than a compiled genealogy by Lorne Bowerman does this appear, but he doesn't seem to be able to back up his material with a source other than 1> he had a grandfather named Ichabod, 2> family oral history, and 3> that his family members "never referred to Thomas (I) as anything but Thomas Ichabod."
Can anyone produce proof of the existence of this middle name in Thomas (I)?
