The origins of Thomas Bourne of Plymouth and Marshfield, Massachusetts are unknown (Robert Charles Anderson, FASG [Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists], The Great Migration Directory: Immigrants to New England, 1620–1640; a Concise Compendium [Boston: New England Historical and Genealogical Society, 2015], 36).

Additions and corrections to Jacobus require citations to original records discovered after he published and/or peer-reviewed scholarly publications that followed him.According to Marshfield town records, Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Bourne, was buried on July 18, 1660, at the age of 70. From this record, it is estimated that she was probably born about 1590. It has been said that Elizabeth died while in New London, Connecticut. That is highly plausible, as two of her daughters married men from that area.
While there is a cenotaph naming Thomas and Elizabeth Bourne at the Old Winslow Burying Ground, there is no evidence that either Bourne was buried there. At this early time, most settlers were buried on their own land, often in burying grounds not locatable now.
