Thomas PARSONS, an early settler of Windsor, Connecticut, was probably the Thomas baptized in St. Mary's Church at Beaminster, Dorset, England, 8 Feb 1608/9, son of William PARSONS and Margaret HOSKINS. He came to New England probably about 1635, and died at Windsor, Connecticut 23 Sep 1661. He married at Windsor 28 Jun 1641, Lydia BROWN who was born in England about 1616, and was still living at Windsor on 7 Nov 1671. She married second, at Windsor 30 Nov 1664, as his third wife, Eltweed POMEROY, who was baptized at Beaminster, Dorset, 4 Jul 1585, and died at Northampton, Mar 1673, son of Richard POMEROY.

Thomas PARSONS was one of the earliest settlers and founders of Windsor; one of the first settlements made by the English in Connecticut. It would appear that he was settled there by 1636, for in the spring of 1637 he served in the Pequot War from Windsor. For this service he received 50 acres of land, which was given to his sons Ebenezer and Samuel by the General Court of Connecticut 13 Oct 1698.
