By admin, 23 August, 2024

Thomas Bench (the younger) was baptized on 11 Jun 1565 in Lillington, Warwickshire County, England.  In the baptism record it was noted that he was the son of  Phillip Bench and Joane.

We also know from the will of his grandfather (Thomas Bench - the elder), that he was born before 16 March 1565 in Lillington, in which he was mentioned in this will, which was probated on 19 March 1565 and actually written on 16 ? 1565.  This would place his birth at least on or before the will was drafted on the 16th, and when it was probated on the 19th.

Attached is his baptism record.   

His wife was Dorothy, likely Dorothy Holmes, daughter of John Holmes and Anne

Thomas and Dorothy had 3 known children, Humphrey (Humfrey) Bench, Sybil Bench, and Susanna Bench.
