Thomas Bingham, progenitor of his line of the Bingham family in North America, was born in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England in 1642, and migrated to Connecticut Colony between 1652 and 1659 with his mother, Anne Fenton Bingham. Thomas was the youngest son of Thomas, Sr. and his second wife, Anne Fenton. On December 12, 1666, at age 24, Thomas married Mary Rudd, who was 17. Mary was probably a daughter of Jonathan Rudd and Mary Metcalf. After living 33 years in Norwich, Thomas moved his family to the newly settled town of Windham, Connecticut. Children of Thomas and Mary were: Jonathan, Ann, Abigail, Nathaniel, Deborah, Samuel, Joseph and Stephen. Mary died in 1726, age 77. Thomas died in January 1730 at age 88. Both are buried in Windham Center Cemetery. Descendants lived in Arizona, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and elsewhere.
