Died: ca. 1632 England

Buried:  Unknown

Married: August 8, 1611, Annie Reve, Church of St. Mary, Bocking, Essex

Occupation: clothier - the Bocking-Braintree area of Essex was a center for the cloth industry from Saxon times forward. As early as 1303, Bocking had a fulling mill for treating woven cloth.  In the late fifteenth century, Essex possessed a considerable woolen industry making broadcloths, a wool fabric, tightly woven in a plain or twill pattern and having a sheen. By 1556 there were three fulling mills in Bocking. By the late 16th and early 17th century the broadcloth industry had been replaced by the manufacture of worsted.  This is made from long-staple wool that has been combed and then firmly twisted into yarn. Work would have been done in people's homes. The raw wool combed, spun into yarn, the yarn then woven into cloth and the cloth taken to the mill for fulling. 

Clothiers bought the wool, parceled it out to workers, collected the woven cloth, ran it through fulling mills and dyed it.

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
