The basic summary of the records on Thomasine, who came to Boston as a widow, and her children is Robert Charles Anderson, George F. Sanborn Jr., and Melinde Lutz Sanborn, The Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, 1634–1635, 7 vols. (Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1999–2011), 6:218-20, with the addition of the identification of widow Windsor as a sister of one of Thomasine’s sons from M. Halsey Thomas, ed., Diary of Samuel Sewall, 1674–1729, Newly Edited from the Manuscripts in the Massachusetts Historical Society, 2 vols. (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1973), 1:386.
