  • Notes: 

  • Thomas Bancroft is often claimed to be the son of John and Jane Bancroft who arrived in New England aboard the James in 1632. This is generally believed to be incorrect as the John and Jane "Barcroft" are believed to have no connections to the Bancrofts of New England. See Robert Charles Anderson's The Great Migration Begins (Vol. 1, pp. 91-92) profile for John Barcroft for a further explanation and sources. Thomas Bancroft's parentage is currently unknown.
