SEWALL, SEWELL posted by Joan Verdoorn on Thursday, June 25, 1998

On this website in the Somerset County people for the 17th century, it lists Thomas SEWALL/SEWELL as living here. He is named in 1678 on the Tobacco List and in 14 Mar 1692 listed with a wife, Jane and daughter, Mary. I'm trying to find out if this is the same Thomas Sewall who moved to Kingston, RI in 1698 to be cared for by his daughter, Abigail Sewall Phenix. It's a long shot, but if any one knows anything about him, would be much appreciated.
