POSSIBLE FATHER OF JOHN LLOYD, THOMAS LLOYD FROM LONDON

While finally submitting the Lloyd portion of the family tree into the ancestry.com site, several hints popped up, including the possible parents for John Lloyd.  Nothing is confirmed as of yet - these 'hints' are really just what others have put into their tree and is usually unconfirmed information.  Here is the possible next branch - Thomas Lloyd:


The book below is the parish record book from St Botolph, Aldgate in London England where Thomas is listed for baptism.  He was born on 15 Sep 1675 in Dolobran, Montgomeryshire, England and died sometime in 1718 in London, London, England.  He was married to Sarah Young, who was born on  2 Nov 1676 in Dolobran, Montgomeryshire, England and died 27 Aug 1740.  


One reason that I am suspicious is that many of the 'hints' indicate that these Lloyds were Quakers and came to Pennsylvania in 1717.  Since we have good evidence on John Lloyd's coming to America via the justice system in London, I have a hard time accepting this as his parents and siblings....but you never know!  It makes for interesting reading regardless.
