Thomas Shinn, son of John Shinn, Sr., was born in England and came to America
with his father probably between 1675/80. He married first Sarah Shawthorn in
Burlington County, NJ in1688, and she apparently died shortly thereafter, since
the Church approved his marriage to Mary Stockton in 1692. Thomas died
about two years later leaving one child (Thomas) and an unborn child (Samuel).
Thomas' will shows him to have been a slaveholder, one of the earliest in New
Jersey; the will also shows four brothers (John Jr., James, George and
presumable the sibling named Francis was a male).
