Born about 1592 (aged 43 on 17 April 1635), son of Ralph Josselyn of Roxwell, Essex. Came from Barham, Suffolk to Plymouth Colony in 1635 on the "Increase." (On 17 April 1635, "Tho[mas] Jostlin," husbandman, aged 43, "Rebecca his wife," aged 43, "Eliza[beth] Ward, a maidservant," aged 38, and "Rebecca," aged 18, "Dorothy," aged 11, "Nathaniel," aged 8, "Eliza[beth]," aged 6 amd "Mary," aged 1, "children of the said Tho[mas] Jostlin," were enrolled at London as passengers for New England on the Increase). First settled at Hingham; moved to Lancaster MA in 1654. Died in Lancaster 3 January 1660/1.
Married by about 1615 Rebecca Jude, born about 1592 (aged 43 on 17 April 1635).
According to the research of Elizabeth French, Thomas Josselyn was fifth-cousin once-removed of THOMAS JOSSELYN {1638, York} (briefly governor of Maine}, and therefore sixth-cousin of the two sons of the latter, HENRY JOSSELYN {1630, Piscataqua} and JOHN JOSSELYN {1638, Black Point}.
Thomas Josselyn was uncle of Rev. Ralph Josselyn of Earl's Colne, Essex.
Savage claimed that Thomas Josselyn was "among grantees of Sudbury 1640." The Sudbury grantee was Thomas Islin, a distinct man altogether.
Savage also claimed that Thomas Josselyn "perhaps for short time lived at Boston." There is no evidence supporting this claim, which may be based on the residence there of two of the children of Thomas, son Abraham and daughter Elizabeth.
