Read this webpage on the research to date on Thomas.

Odds are he is not from this area as Chaffe/Chaff/Chaffe/Chaffeys were from Devon, Dorset,
Sherborne. Thomas was likely from Exeter or somewhere west - Buckfastleigh. We are
presently trying to narrow down the Speedwell as the boat he came over in 1637.
If anyone can tell me where the Stephney, Middlesex posting came from it would be
appreciated.
If anyone has more info on his possible England homestead it would also help. If you
don't and are in a position to query churches in the Devon area, my guess this is the
best place to start.
