Suggested edit: Thomas Mifflin Bagnall was the youngest child and only son of Robert Bagnall. He was born in Boston Dec. 22 1786. The name given him by his parents was Thomas Mifflin Bagnall after Gov. Mifflin of Penn. For some reason, when baptized upon joining the Methodist Church in Boston, he dropped the Mifflin and always afterwards signed his name simply Thomas Bagnall.
In 1811, he married Mary Rowell Tucker of Boston. He was a clockmaker by trade, carrying on business for himself (Commercial St. near Chelsea & East Boston ferries) from 1813 to 1842 when he returned from business, having acquired a competence (for those days). He died Sept 17 1849. Contributor: LadyGeek (48969598) • Wed 1/13/2021 9:41 AM
Note: He did not change his name legally, just dropped the name. The List of Persons whose Names Have Been Changed in Massachusetts, 1780 - 1892; print, Boston, MA ∙ 1893 (Google Books), does not have mention of him. When you put the name into the browser, a court proceeding will normally come up, and it has not. The memorial/marker for Thomas states Thomas' information only, and without his middle name.
