• Notes

  Thomas Carrier, ancestor of this family, was a Welchman (welshman), is said to have belonged to the bodyguard of King Charles I, of Great Britain. It has been claimed he was the executioner of King Charles I, in 1648. He was at Billerica, MA before 1664; removed to Andover, thence to Colchester, CT. At Billerica he also called himself Thomas Morgan and was openly recorded with this alias. He used to walk from Colchester to Glastonbury carrying a sack of corn on his shoulder to be ground, walking very fast and stopping only once for the whole distance of 18 miles. He died in Colchester, May 16, 1736, said to be one hundred and thirteen years old (Savage insists he was 103 at most). Was not gray or bald, walked erect, and shortly before his death walked 6 miles. [1]
