It was suggested that Thomas my have been the son of Thomas Blachly of Collerne, Wilts., England, but that hasn't been confirmed. Thomas, b. ca 1615,departed London 1635 in "The Hopewell" for New England. He served in thePequot War inConnecticut in 1637 as part of the Hartford contingent (for which he was granted land in 1670) He owned land in Hartford in 1639, moved to New Haven by 1643 to Branford by 1646, and then to Guilford by 23 Apr 1668.
He did sign the 30 Oct 1666 agreement in Branford describing the soon to be established Newark Colony, but unlike his children Abigail and Aaron, he stayed in Branford, and there signed the 20 Jan 1667 (1667/8) agreement to re-invigorate the Branford Church for those remaining in the town. He was a representative of
Branford to the CT General Court (general assembly) for at least one session ineach year 1667-1672, despite living in Guilford.
On 16 Apr 1673 he sold his Branford property and died intestate in Boston about Jan 1673/4, with his widow being appointed administratrix and an inventory of his estate filed on 30 Jan 1673/4. An agreement was made on 12 Jun 1674 which satisfied the New Haven officials by splitting the remainder of the estate, after the widow had her portion, equally among his children: Aaron, Moses, Abygaile BALL and Miriam POND. It was not clear whether Thomas had intended to move toBoston, or was just there as part of his business of arranging and handling the
shipping of grain and livestock.
9-20-52 S.H. Conger has found in New Haven Probate Records the settlement of the estate of Thomas Blatchley, ded'd 1672. His wife was named Susanna. They had chn: Aaron, Moses; Miriam Pond (w/o Samuel Pond) &
Abigail Ball. It seems very probable this Abigail was the wife of Edward Ball, whose eldest dau. was named Abigail & his two younger sons Moses & Thomas.

1. Thomas(1) Blachley came to New England in 1635, and was at Hartford in 1640, and New Haven in 1643/4, taking the oath of fidelity in the latter year, and being fined in 1646 for neglecting the image of God in the
civil magistrates. He was at Branford on Dec 1, 1645, and died in Boston, Mass in 1674. He probably was a merchant, and sold his land at Branford to William Maltbie of New Haven, Apr 16, 1653. On Oct 30, 1665, he signed the Newark (NJ) covenant but did the same at Branford, Jun 20, 1667. "Goodman Blachley" was admitted an inhabitant of Guilford, Apr 23, 1668, "if he can provide himself a place to dwell in". He was elected Deputy to the General Court, from Branford, in May 1667, Oct 1668, and Oct 1669, but was absent from all these sessions. He was a man of influence in the colony, and served in a number of sessions of the General Court, from May 1670. In that month, the General Court granted him 60 acres of land where he could find it, on the usual terms. His estate in Connecticut, inventory being present Jun 9, 1674, amounted to 79 pounds, and the inventory in Boston, 128 pounds. He married Susannah, surname unknown, who married second, Richard Bristow, and died in Dec 1677. Left London 28 Jul 1635, ship HOPEWELL. Thomas Babb, Master,

Blatchley is also old Saxon. Blatch means bleech and ley means a clearing in the woods. So, Blatchley was the clearing where you went in the 13th century to have your fabric bleeched. They were either the first chemists or the first industrial polluters, depending on how you look at it!
New Haven Historical Society, Ancient Records Series, Vol. 1, 1649-1662
"AT A COURT HELD AT NEWHAUEN THE 7TH OF AUGUST, 1655" Thomas Blatchley gave the court "some offence and neglecting the imadge of God in magistrats, & goeing away soe irreverently and sayeing he would
have justice in another place if he had it not here, wch now lyeing on his conscience, desirs to cleare himself, wherewth the court was satisfied"

Thomas Blatchley (1615-72) by one report sailed from London on the Hopewell 28 Jul 1635. He was 20 years old and intended to arrive in New England. He was a member of St. Giles Cripplegate Anglican church. However, he was possibly from northwestern England, where most of Hartford and Branford, CT settlers originated. Thomas probably landed in Massachusetts, but by 1 May 1637, Thomas was at Hartford, where he was one of the initial soldiers signed for the first Pequot Indian War. (In May 1670, Thomas received 60 acres near New Haven for his service in that war.) Hartford had been founded in 1635 by a Cambridge, MA. Thomas also appears in Hartford land records from 1639-74. However, he moved to New Haven about 1643 and swore allegience there in 1644. He moved to Branford in 1646, probably where he married Susanna Ball (d Jul 1680), who may be related to their son-in-law Edward Ball. Thomas and his son, Aaron, committed to the governing rules for the settling of Newark, NJ on 30 Oct 1665. Thomas also became one of Newark's governing committee. Yet he probably never went to Newark, unlike all but one of his children. He appears in Newark records as one of the settlement's governing committee, but he does not appear to have received any land in Newark. One source notes, without citation, that Thomas sold his Newark lot to Thomas Huntington. Furthermore, Thomas Blatchly appears as living
in Branford during the early years of Newark. He signed a church compact there in 1667 and served as deputy to the General Court of Connecticut, 1667-72. He died in Branford 1672, according to New Haven probate records. The will was not settled until 1674, when the court described Thomas as deceased in Boston. Some sources speculate that Thomas was engaged in merchant trading and was thus in Boston on business. Susanna
Ball married again after 1674, Richard Bristow of Guilford, CT, who died Sep 1683.
