Thomas2 Markham of London was born in London, England probably around
1606.(1) In their deliberations of 2 June 1621, the Board of Governors

Thomazin Markcom was born in England 1608 or 1609. Thomazin Markcom, age 26, is listed 24 July 1635 among
passengers to be transported from London to Virginia embarked in the Assurance of London, Isack Bromwell and Geo. Pewsie, Master, who
were examined by the Minister of Gravesend of their conformity to the Church of England. The men, listed, had taken oath of allegiance. The
women, with Thomazin among them, were listed separately.(3)
Robert Markcom preceded her to Virginia by 18 days. The similar spelling signifies only that
they were listed by the same clerk. Her age, four years older than Robert, does not preclude the possibility that they were husband and
wife. Or, maybe they were brother and sister.
