(formerly called North Killingly), located east of the Quinebaug River in
Windham County, Connecticut, by Reverend J. Fisk CO29, LA17, BE5. Thomas was mentioned in the will of his father, dated August 11,

County, Connecticut BA45, BA5. Thomas Shapley was called Joanna Utter’s
“well beloved Son in Law” and she named him as the
sole executor of her will, dated September 8, 1756 CO31. On February 1, 1757, Thomas and Sarah Bulfinton (their surname may have been Buffington BE5, but each instance
of their written surname in this deed stated “Bulfinton”),
Thomas and Joanna Shapley, Mary Utter, and Ruth Utter, all of “Kellingley in ye County of Windham”
sold four ninths of a parcel of land in Killingly which was eleven and one half
acres “in the Land that was Set of to our Hond Mother
Joanna Utter” to Joseph Brown of Killingly for the sum of eight pounds LA8.
Thomas was a private

He was
served in Captain John Carpenter’s militia company in August 1757, but he and
two other men deserted, while
the remainder of the company served for sixteen days BA36. He was admitted as a freeman in Killingly,
Windham County, Connecticut on April 7, 1760 WH13, BE7. Thomas sold 120
acres of land in Killingly to Joseph Town, Jr. on June 5, 1767 for the sum of £80
LA8, and additional land to Consider Jones in 1769 BE5. He was taxed twelve
shillings and four pence in Plainfield, New Hampshire on a rate which was dated
January 16, 1787, which was meant to be paid by March 10, 1787 NE11, BE5. Thomas died before 1804, when in that year Johannah remarried to Thomas Applin,
and he probably died before 1800, because according to the census record, at that time Johannah
was living with Thomas Shapley, Jr., her son.
