Antony Thacher1

b. 1588/89, d. between 30 June 1667 and 22 August 1667
Family
Father*Reverend Peter Thacher of Queen Camel2 d. 1624
Birth*1588/89Antony Thacher was born in 1588/89 at Queen Camel, Somerset County, England.3 
Marriage*circa 1619He married first Mary __?__ circa 1619 in Salisbury, Somerset County, England.3 
Occupation*1624Antony was curate under his father at Queen Camel until his father's death in 1624 and then served in the same capacity under his older brother, Reverend Peter Thacher, rector of St. Edmund's parish church of Sarum, Salisbury, Somerset County.3 
(Husband) DeathJuly 1634Antony became a widower when Mary (__?__) Thacher died in July 1634.3 
Marriage*February 1635He married second in February 1635, about six weeks before the date of their sailing to New England, Elizabeth Jones, daughter of ______ Jones, at Salisbury, Somerset County.3 
(Father) Guardianship5 April 1635Before Antony immigrated to New England with the rest of his family, he made arrangements to leave his one-year-old youngest child, Benjamin, in the care of his uncle, Antony's older brother, Reverend Peter Thacher of St. Edmund's. Antony had agreed to pay his older brother £20 for the child's maintenance.3 
Emigration*5 April 1635Antony and his new wife of just a few weeks, Elizabeth (Jones) Thacher, with the four oldest of Antony's five children, and his nephew, Thomas Thacher, sailed from Southampton, Hampshire, England, to New England on 5 April 1635 on the ship James of London.3 
Relationship Note*Before departing England together on the James, Antony Thacher and Reverend Joseph Avery, calling themselves "cousins", had been very close friends and had made an agreement to settle their families in the same place.3 
Relocation*15 August 1635 Neither the exact place, nor date, of landing in New England of the ship James has been agreed upon by historians. Whether Boston, Newbury or Ipswich, wherever the passengers first landed, Antony Thacher and Joseph Avery and their families sojourned for a short time in Ipswich, Massachusetts. While there, Reverend Avery received a call to preach in Marblehead, then a part of Salem. During the time he took for deliberation, the two families removed to Newbury with plans to settle there. But after Avery accepted the call to Marblehead, he and his family of eleven all told, accompanied by Antony Thacher and his wife Elizabeth (Jones) Thacher, and his children by his first wife, William, Edith, Mary and Peter, went back to Ipswich. From there they embarked for Marblehead. Antony Thacher's nephew, Thomas Thacher, who had sailed with his uncle's family to New England, felt a sentiment of evil about the trip and did not accompany them on the voyage. Instead Thomas decided to make the journey overland despite the danger of being attacked by hostile Indians. The Thacher-Avery party embarked from Ipswich for Marblehead in a pinnace and the vessel was wrecked on 15 August 1635. All on board were lost except Antony Thacher and his second wife Elizabeth (Jones) Thacher.3 
Residence*After some moving around, Elizabeth and Antony Thacher settled in Yarmouth, Plymouth Colony.3 
Occupation* The probable cause of Antony Thacher's emigration was his desire to secure a home free from religious persecution so prevalent in England at that time. It was probably because of his religion that he called himself a "tayler" on the passenger list of the James, when in reality he was, or had been almost up to the time of his sailing, a curate of the established English Church in Salisbury. As a tailor, he would have been able to avoid the rigid scrutiny he would have had to undergo if he had announced himself as formerly a curate of an English Church of pronounced Puritan faith. He may actually have been a tailor by trade, as curates of Puritan faith were often in the humble callings of life; but if that was the case, it is certain that in New England he never followed his trade, but was always regarded as a man of literary attainments and occupied a leading and prominent position in his community.3 
Death*between 30 June 1667 and 22 August 1667He died between 30 June 1667 and 22 August 1667 in Yarmouth3 
Burial* and was buried on his own land in Yarmouth.3

Mother*Mary __?__1 d. Jul 1634
Birth*1 February 1621/22Edith Thacher was born at Queen Camel, Somerset County, England, probably about 1 February 1621/221 
Baptism7 February 1621/22 and was baptized by her grandfather, Reverend Peter Thacher of Queen Camel, on 7 February 1621/22.1 
(1st Daughter) Emigration5 April 1635Edith sailed from Southampton, Hampshire, England, to New England on 5 April 1635 with her parents and three of her siblings on the ship James of London.1 
(Daughter) Relocation15 August 1635 Neither the exact place, nor date, of landing in New England of the ship James has been agreed upon by historians. Whether Boston, Newbury or Ipswich, wherever the passengers first landed, Antony Thacher and Joseph Avery and their families sojourned for a short time in Ipswich, Massachusetts. While there, Reverend Avery received a call to preach in Marblehead, then a part of Salem. During the time he took for deliberation, the two families removed to Newbury with plans to settle there. But after Avery accepted the call to Marblehead, he and his family of eleven all told, accompanied by Antony Thacher and his wife Elizabeth (Jones) Thacher, and his children by his first wife, William, Edith, Mary and Peter, went back to Ipswich. From there they embarked for Marblehead. Antony Thacher's nephew, Thomas Thacher, who had sailed with his uncle's family to New England, felt a sentiment of evil about the trip and did not accompany them on the voyage. Instead Thomas decided to make the journey overland despite the danger of being attacked by hostile Indians. The Thacher-Avery party embarked from Ipswich for Marblehead in a pinnace and the vessel was wrecked on 15 August 1635. All on board were lost except Antony Thacher and his second wife Elizabeth (Jones) Thacher.1 
Death*15 August 1635Edith, along with her sister and two brothers, drowned in the pinnace's shipwreck on 15 August 1635. None of the children's bodies were recovered. Edith was 13 years of age.1
