3136. Thomas Bingham
from Sheffield, England to Norwich, Connecticut in 1659
THOMAS BINGHAM, the first of his name in New England, married at Norwich, 12 Dec 1666. He was a "master cuttler". Mary, doubtless the eldest daughter of Lieutenant Jonathan Rudd of Saybrooke, Connecticut, whose wife was, in 1647, the celebrated Bride of Bride Brook. The story told in verse and on the musty documents of Connecticut, for the marriage ceremony was performed by no less a person than the younger John Winthrop of New London, who, however, acting under a commission from Massachusetts, had no authority at Saybrooke, and thus required the contracting parties to meet him half-way between the two points, where the marriage was celebrated. Mr. Bingham remained at Norwich about 25 years, after which he settled at Windham, where he was deacon of the church and died 16 Jan 1730, aged eighty-eight years.
