Lawrence, George, of Santa Fe, NM. New. 173 p. Includes: illustrations, diagrams, maps, index. The life and family of the Rev. Thomas Dungan begins in Westminster (London) where he was born in 1635. His father, Wiliam Dungan, a moderately wealthy perfumer, died in the following year. His first home still stands today. His mother, Frances (Latham) remarried Captain Jeremy Clarke and his new family came to New England later in 1637. By 1639 the were among the founders of Newport, Rhode Island. The early life of Thomas there is still vague, but we have gathered enough evidence to create a picture of his life. He was among the elite families of that colony which afforded him some education as evidenced by his handwriting and his ability to read. During his time in that colony, he was a legislator, a soldier, and a landowner. As estimated, he was also involved in the coastal trade, as was his stepfather, and his older brother, William, who ended up settling in tidewater Virginia. In 1682 Thomas was ordained as a Baptist minister and relocated to the new colony of Pennsylvania where he acquired property next to that of William Penn, the proprietor of the colony. His ministry was short. He died in 1687. He left a legacy and a family that has now spread far and wide.
