Birth date

edit

There seems to be some confusion on Thomas's date of birth. This article says January 8, a book I have in front of me says January 19, and a memorial plaque in Worcester (image on Find a Grave) says January 30. Any thoughts on which is most accurate? --Midnightdreary (talk) 22:03, 12 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

I can't document this, but his printshop is preserved at Old Sturbridge Village, south of Worcester, and long ago a docent said that he left an estate of a hundred thousand dollars, when two thousand dollars would buy a house. J S Ayer (talk) 23:53, 15 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
