Immigrant, but have found no record of his arrival. 

Records:

There are two Thomas Lovell's in the records of Ipswich & Essex County or it's possible that the majority of the Ipswich / Essex County records are really about a Thomas Lovell, a currier [leather dresser], who migrated to New England from Dublin, Ireland ca. 1640.  He appears not to have been married when he migrated.  He had two sons: Alexander b. 1657, d. age 2 and Nathaniel b. 1658, living 1707.  Take all the records below with a grain of salt.

1646 - Salem, MA - Thomas Lovell appeared in the Essex County court at Salem as a witness with Thomas Robins against Peter Sims alias Ford for stealing Indian corn out of the water mill.

Buried: Founders Cemetery, Norwich, CT

Married: Mary White(?) by 1648(?) probably in Saybrook, Connecticut. There is a story that Thomas returned to England to marry, but no evidence to back it up. 

Biography: About the year 1637, only a short time after the first settlement of New England, there appears among the forests of Connecticut a young hunter calling himself Thomas Leffingwell. The prototype, perhaps, of Cooper's Deerslayer, he was even at that early day on friendly terms with the Mohegan Indians, and especially their young chief Uncas; nor is it improbable, that occasionally he lived among them, acquiring their language and sharing their adventures. Very dim, however, are the glimpses which we then obtain of him. He was gifted, tradition tells us, with unusual physical strength, which, for a time at least, appeared in his descendants; he was endowed, as we know, with that courage
