What the writer guessed was that Thomas Bliss Sr. came to Massachusettts in 1638 with some of his older children (probably Thomas and Anne from his first marriage), but his 2nd wife Margaret stayed in England with the baby Samuel and her other children after father was taken ill. When the rest of Thomas' family arrived in New England was not cited in the article.
