There is yet to be proof that this Thomas Cecil was the engraver who cameto Maryland, nor that the Thomas Cecil who married Susan Oxenbridge fathered these children, it is still speculative.
Burke's Peerage does not give this 2nd marriage to Susan Oxenbridge, but the Oxenbridge family is very clear that the marriage, which is documented in London marriage records, was to Sir Thomas Cecil.
From: Adrian (Surrey, UK) AChanning@@CompuServe.Com
"I am not to keen onthe suggested connection Thomas Cecil (1542-1622/3) 2nd Lord Burghley and 1stEarl Exeter > Thomas (1578-) as being the Thomas Cecil engraver and map maker and shown as dying 1664 (can't remember the exact date). This makes him prettyold, and I have the Thomas (1578-) as member of the merchant tailors guild rather than anything to do with engraving. However I think it was a condition of trading in London to be a member of one of the recognized guilds and I don't think it always signifies the persons trade, although I think he would have had tohave been apprenticed to a merchant tailor."
Notes from Salisbury Family Genealogy: Was an engraver in London. In 1635 he came to Maryland and made thefirst map for the state and was paid by the Crown in land. He returned to England where he died. He returned to England and died in 1662. In 1658 his son, John, came to Maryland to look after his interests. He settled in St. Mary's County.
In 1658 his son, John, came to Maryland t look after his interests. Johnsettled in St. Mary's Co. There is some confusion on this Thomas Cecil's parents. But I can find no documentation to believe he is the same person as Thomas Cecil, the engraver. Elise Greenup Jourdan quotes a letter from a Mrs. Lynda Louise Cole, a notorized affidavit as a Cecil cousin, that the Thomas who was theson of the Earl of Exeter, drowned at sea with his only child, a daughter.
