Thomas Blossom from Shelford History
Thomas Blossom was one of the founding fathers of America. Thomas and Anne Blossom were among the first Puritan settlers in New England. He was born in Little Shelford around 1580.
His American descendants include President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush. Thomas Blossom was one of at least seven children born to Peter Blossom and his second wife, Annabel. The Blossoms lived in Little Shelford, Great Shelford and Stapleford.
Thomas Blossom married Anne Elsdon on November 10, 1605, at St. Clement Church, Cambridge and had six children. Thomas Blossom emigrated to Leiden in Holland around 1609. In 1620, he was part of the original Pilgrim Fathers emigrating to America for greater religious freedom.
The Mayflower and the Speedwell were to sail as companion ships to America. The Speedwell was a little ship of 60 tons, which had been purchased and fitted out in Holland for the Pilgrim congregation. She sailed on July 26, 1620, from the port of Delfthaven, for Southampton, where the Mayflowerhad been waiting for a week with passengers from London. It was found that the little Speedwell needed repairs before putting out to sea. The two vessels then set sail for their long voyage, but the Speedwell proved leaky and both vessels put into Dartmouth for further repairs. Then, once more, they sailed together and progressed some 300 miles westward from Land's End, when the captain of the Speedwell complained further of his boat's unseaworthiness. Again, the two vessels turned back, this time putting into Plymouth, and here it was decided to dismiss the Speedwell after a redistribution of passengers and cargo. The 'Speedwell' set sail from Southampton, on Aug 5, but about 300 miles from Lands End, England, the ship had to turn back as it was leaking.
This passage is from the Log of the Mayflower: "Deacon Thomas Blossom and his son were well known as of Pastor Robinson's flock at Leyden. They returned moreover to Holland from Plymouth, England (when they gave up the voyage) via London." Thomas and his family returned to Leyden until he and others emigrated to the Plymouth Colony in 1629. Thomas Blossom and his family sailed from Gravesend in March 1629 aboard theMayflower (not the original ship) and arrived in Salem on March 15, 1629. They were brought to Plymouth by boat and lived there where Thomas was believed to be a Deacon or Elder until he died of the "infectious feaver" of 1632/3. Key Dates: 1580: Born in Little Shelford, Cambridgeshire 1605: Married Anne Elsdon at St Clements Church, Cambridge, England 1609: Thomas Blossom moved to Leyden (Leiden), Holland. 1620: First attempt to sail to America on the 'Speedwell' failed. 1629: Thomas and his family sailed to Massachusetts. 1632/3: Thomas died in Barnstable, Massachusetts, or Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay Colony In 1625 Thomas Blossom joined in signing a letter dated 30 Nov 1625, from Leiden Separatists to (William) Bradford, Governor of Massachusetts and he was the sole signer of a letter of 15 Dec 1625, to Bradford. In the December letter he deplores the difficulty the Leiden people had in reuniting with the Separatists in Plymouth and he states that the only way the Leiden group could join the others would be with the means coming from Plymouth. 1633: In his history of Plymouth, Bradford included an account of the infectious epidemic of 1633, and mentioned specifically Thomas Blossom, Richard Masterson and Samuel Fuller as dying in that year. 1633: That Thomas Blossom died before 1 Jul 1633, is confirmed in a letter of that date from Rev. Ralph Smith, in Plymouth, to Rev. Hugh Goodyear, in Leiden, referring to "Tho: Bloso[m] our brother who now sleepeth". 1633: The tax list of 25 Mar 1633, includes an entry for Widow Blossom, so Thomas' death would have taken place before that.

[23062] See http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~pmcbride/rfc/p17.htm and NEHGR 67 (1913), p. 70 which states Thomas is eldest son and heir of Melton, and that he earned his B.A. at Lincoln College, Oxford in 1613, entering Lincoln's Inn in 1621 as a barrister.
[10259] Birtus is son of Henry Palmer (1846-1912) and Lewella White (1862-1944). Ancestry.com offers: "Palmer Name Meaning - English: from Middle English, Old French palmer, paumer (from palme, paume 'palm tree', Latin palma), a nickname for someone who had been on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Such pilgrims generally brought back a palm branch as proof that they had actually made the journey, but there was a vigorous trade in false souvenirs, and the term also came to be applied to a cleric who sold indulgences."
