He was purported to have been the son of William Savage, a blacksmith of Taunton, co. Somerset, but further research is needed. Thomas was apprenticed at Merchant Tailors, London, as the company records prove, "in the 18th year of James, 9 Jan. 1621". He immigrated in Apr 1635 to Boston (at age 27) on the ship "Planter", Nicholas Trarice, master. he was admitted to full communion in Jan 1635/6 First Church, Boston. he was admitted a freeman of the town of Boston on 25 May 1636. He was an adherent of his sister-in-law Anne Hutchinson and supported her during her trial, as well as sharing the opinions of Rev. John Wheelwright. This led to his being disarmed and obliged to leave Boston on Nov 1637 and was driven to unite with Gov. William oddington.
