Birth*Thomas Looke was born on 1 February 1695/96 in Rowley, Essex County, MassachusettsG. A William Look, son of Jonathan, was baptized in Rowley on 19 April 1696. This is probably an error for Thomas,1 unless William was an elder child being baptized late. His parents were married in December 1693 and their first child Thomas was born in February 1696, so there is plenty of room for a child born during that period.2 
Marriage*He married Martha Moore, daughter of Edmund Moore and Sarah Cooper, on 13 February 1716/17 in Newbury, Essex County, MassachusettsG. Thomas was of Rowley, and Martha of Newbury, when they married.3 
Death*Thomas died before 1734. He was not mentioned in his father's will.4 
They had two children baptized in Newbury.5,6
