Thomas Phillips b. 1614 to Virginia 1635
This Thomas was "examined" at the port of Gravesend in 1635 before sailing from England to Virginia. "Virginia" may not necessarily mean the current state.He was age 21 and therefore born 1614, although exact dates do not always apply. What does "Or. Religion" mean? I suppose that at that time in history he was loyal to the official Church of England.
