    Notes:

    Other-Begin:
    Gerhom Walling became his apprentice in 1667.

    Events leading to this:
    October of 1666 Thomas Walling (Gerhom's father) was found guilty of assault on Robert Colwell and paid a bond of 20 pounds, but he failed to appear in court and forfeited his bond. It turned out that he had run away with Colwell's wife Margaret White, whom Colwell subsequently Divorced.

    The Early Records of the Town of Providence also tell a story of trouble:

    For asmuch as Thomas Walling, formerly inhabitant of this Towne of providence; hath departed this towne, the Towne being doubtfull of his return to take care for the Releife of the wife and child which he hath left in the Towne: This to signiffie unto all persons, that the town hath seized into their handes and Secured, all the estate of the said Thomas Walling......

    There are several entries about the absence of Thomas. Mary
    petitions the town to be relieved of the care of an apprentice named Daniel Comstock, as she can no longer care for him. During the same year she also apprentices her own son Gerhom to Nathaniel Mowry. The entries about the apprenticeships are dated 1667, the same year as the Divorce of Margaret and Robert Colwell. Mary dies in 1669 and Thomas reappears to marry Margaret Colwell.

    In Apr 1668, Thomas Walling joined in a partnership of a land purchase of 2000 acres from the Indians with Edward Inman, Nathaniel Mowry's grandfather.
