My Comments notes for 9G GF Thomas Bloyce
A seemingly well researched book by Emerson Roberts entitled Wainwright and Related Families has a whole chapter devoted to the Bloyce family in which both our Bloyce and Wright families are well documented.
He says the immigrant of the Bloyce line was Thomas Bloyce, who came to America at the age of 10 in 1635. “Among the 125 passengers, Thomas Bloyce age 10, was, except for 3 infants, the youngest member of the group.”
He does not say whether Thomas was accompanied by any other family members, but he does note that John Chandler obtained land credit for transporting him to Virginia. This claim was made in 1636 in Elizabeth City County, VA.
He notes an ancient family of Bloyce or Blois of Stepney, Middlesex, England, where Thomas Bloyce, mariner, married Judith Adams 10 May 1610. So, what he seems to be saying is that Thomas the 10-year-old immigrant was the son of Thomas, the mariner, and his wife Judith.
Some Internet Family Trees list this man as Thomas Mariner Bloyce but Emerson Roberts says his name was Thomas Bloyce and he was a mariner. That makes more sense to me.

Parent-Proof notes for Judith (Spouse 1)
The book Wainwright and Related Families by Emerson Roberts says Judith was the daughter of William Adams of London, a fletcher (maker of arrows). There are Internet trees that say that William was born about 1560 in Middlesex, England.
