You make some really good points that I didn't even think of....
If that time span of 1616 - 1643 is actually the period of ownership, then indeed it is
quite realistic for this to be his father. Does anyone know historically what occurred in
England in 1643, that is to say, why he would have given up ownership of this castle?
You wrote "But if young Tom was in Billerica cutting brush and had been on the other
side he probably was disenherited." which makes the second scenario of
"OR: Jr. was on the other side, guarded & executed the king. Then when the
royals
started winning, he left the country."
much more viable and realistic. " and then he and Martha named their daughter Jane
after a well beloved sister of Tom Jr.'s
"Also, Thomas the castle owner was originally from Chester which is in the
northwest of G.B. fairly near the Welsh border. This might lead our Thomas
to be known as a Welshman."
Excellent Point. Also, Jane and her hubby named their second son Thomas. Interesting, no?
Do we think we have found the father of the illusive Thomas Morgan-Carrier?!?!?
