Hello, Jane. :-)
This is intriguing. What sources have you? I had heard that John was Thomas's brother. I had also heard the contrary. The bio on Thomas at Ancestry.com states there is no evidence to support them being brothers.
To the best of my knowledge, everyone says there is no record of Thomas coming to MBC. Of late, I have started to wonder about that. I can't find where I read it, but John Winthrop, Sr. had a servant named Thomas Hardy. I wonder if that wasn't the Thomas Hardy who went with Winthrop, Jr. to Agawam in March of 1633. Could he have finished a term of servitude? Could he have been rewarded for good service? I think the information would be somewhere at NEHGS and I don't have $60 an hour for them to research the matter.
The last I heard, the Hardy Association had pretty much dissolved and hasn't had a reunion in 2 or 3 years. I hope I am wrong on that and would love information to the contrary. I would certainly be interested in attending, if possible. BTW, I live in Spokane, WA. Never been to New England, much to my regret. :(
William Hardy was my 8g grandfather. He first married Ruth Tenney, who died in 27 Apr 1689. Probably as a result of childbirth of her daughter, Ruth on the 20th. Baby Ruth died on 1 May. This happens to be the same day that Ann Hardy, supposedly Thomas, Sr.'s wife, died. William then married Sarah Savory. One of their 4 children, William, is my 7g grandfather.
I would certainly like to continue to thread and to see what others might think of my thoughts and if we can find proof to prove or disprove them.
