The first of these lists were as appeared in 1860, when SAMUEL GARDNER DRAKE, of Boston (Mass.), published his "Result of some Researches among the British Archives, for information relative to the Founders of New England." Hotten included these in his work indicating they came from the "History of Sandwich, being transcripts of records belonging to the corporations of that port."

On 20 August 1660 the heirs of "Thomas Uffit of Stanford" reached an agreement on his estate; these heirs were his widow, his sons Thomas Uffit (of Stratford) and John Uffit and his son-in-law Roger Terrill [ TAG 10:111, citing StTR 1:52]. In this agreement the widow of Thomas Ufford is also referred to as "widow Theale," and the agreement was signed by Joseph Theale and William Ratliff, her son and son-in-law by her first husband [ FOOF 1:601-02].
On 6 December 1660 an inventory of the estate of Thomas Uffit Sr., deceased, was presented, "so much of it as remained within the bounds of Milford and Stratford, amounting to £289 12s. 7d." attested upon oath by Thomas Uffit Jr. & John Uffitt, that this is a true inventory [ NHCR 2:418].

COMMENTS: Thomas Ufford does not appear in Springfield records after 1636; in particular, he is not in the 13 January 1638/9 list of those contributing to the maintenance of Rev. George Moxon, or in the 24 December 1640 distribution of the second division of planting ground [ Springfield Hist 161, 167]. Since Thomas Ufford did not join Milford church until 1645, he may well have had another residence in the early 1640s, and on this basis we include the Wethersfield land record as his, rather than his son's.
Banks gives as the English origin of Thomas Ufford the parish of Newbourn in Suffolk, based on the ship money list of 1636 [ Topo Dict 158]. Thomas Ufford probably moved into Nazeing, Essex, sometime in the early 1620s, since we find there only the baptisms of his two sons, and not his marriage or the baptism of his daughter, but Newbourn seems implausibly distant.
BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: Thomas Ufford is best treated by Donald Lines Jacobus in two different places [ FOOF 1:623-25; Parke-Gildersleeve 119].
