Biographical NoteThaddeus Larned (1756-1818) was a farmer, magistrate, and land speculator in Thompson, Connecticut. He was a direct descendent of William Learned (1590-1646) who, originally from England, settled and died in Massachusetts. Thaddeus’ grandfather, William (1687-1747), moved to Connecticut, where Simon, Thaddeus’ father was born. Noadiah Larned, Thaddeus’ son, also farmed in Thompson, Connecticut.
