"... Thomas Lord Reason:

One son of this Thomas Lord was a physician. It is a common error to add "Dr" to this man, but incorrect (that prefix belongs to his son). In his immigration record he is recorded as a "smith," which was probably a ruse because the crown wanted the Colonies to be populated initially by tradesmen who would build settlements. Judging from later activities, this Thomas was a mill owner, merchant, and land owner. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lord-5 .

NOT a doctor, that was his son.

Thomas was a man of means, position and influence. From Hatten's Original List we learn that on April 29, 1635, Thomas age 50 and his wife Dorothy 45, and their 7 children were registered from the Port of London to New England on the ship Elizabeth Ann in 1636. Thomas and his family joined the party of Rev. Thomas Hooker and 100 others which departed from Newtown which later became Cambridge to form a new settlement on the Connecticut River. Thomas and Robert Lord became an original proprietor and one of the first settlers of Hartford Connecticut.

From Find-A-Grave:
In the early part of the seventeenth century, there were four "Lords" who settled in this country: Nathan Lord, who landed in Kittery, Me; Thomas Lord, who landed in Boston, Mass.; William Lord, who landed in Salem, Mass.; and Robert Lord, who landed at Ipswich, Mass. They were not brothers, but they were probably descended from the same "Lord" family back in history.

The name Lord was derived with the Anglo-Saxon Ord or Ored, a governor, with the prefix L' or Le, denoting the person or place. The Gaelic ar. lord--high, lofty, the prime chief, superior.
"The Descendants of Thomas Lord, an original proprietor and founder of Hartford, Conn. in 1636"
The son of Richard & Jeane Lord of County Towcester, Northampton, England, he married first Dorothy Buckley, daughter of Edward Buckley & sister of Rev. Peter Buckley. After her death, he married Dorothy Bird 23 Feb 1611 in Towcester.
Thomas Lord aged 50, Dorothy Lord aged 46 (his second wife), son Thomas aged 16, Ann aged 14, William aged 12, John aged 10, Robert aged 9, Aymie aged 6, and Dorothy aged 4, came from England on the "Elizabeth Ann" to Cambridge, Mass., in 1635. [Hotten's "Original Lists"] The oldest son, Richard, had come to America in advance to find a place to settle.
They joined Rev. Thomas Hooker's party leaving Newtown and traveling though wilderness and rough terrain for nearly a fortnight purchasing land from the leader of the Suckiage Indians, Chief Sequassen where they founded Hartford, Conn. in 1636.
Thomas was an original proprietor of Hartford, Conn. His name is on the Founder's Monument in the Ancient Cemetery where he is buried. He and his family lived on the north side of the highway on the bank of the Little River (later Wells Street) near Gov. Haynes, Rev. Hooker, Mr. Goodwin and Gov. Wyllys. His sons, Richard and Thomas had the lots next to him.
Thomas & Dorothy (Bird) Lord were the parents of at least nine children all being born in England.

When Thomas Lord's family emigrated to the colonies, he was listed on the manifest as a "smith". This is either a mistake or a subterfuge. Savage called it "a godly deception."

Thomas did not leave a will. Dorothy's will was executed in 1670 and sealed with the Laward-Lord coat of arms. It is described as "argent on a fosse gules, between three cinquefoils azure, a hind passant between two phones or." The crest is described as "a Demi-bird sable, on the head two small horns or, the wings expanded, the dexter outside gu., inside argent; the sinister gold lined gu."
