Thomas Mead
Male, b. after 1743, d. 15 May 1814
Thomas Mead, son of Thomas Mead and Ann Flack, was born after 1743.1
He was named as a beneficiary in the will of his father Thomas Mead written on 9 December 1793. On the death of their father his presumably younger brother Robert was charged with giving Thomas a home and providing for him in every way. It would seem therefore that Thomas was living in his parents' house and was perhaps not best able to look after himself.2 His father died six months later on 14 June 1794 and in due course Thomas did live with Robert at The Grange, Great Burstead, Essex.3,4
Thomas Mead died on 15 May 1814 and was buried in The Independent Meeting House, Billericay, Essex.4
