homas⁵ Landers (Thomas⁴, John^3-2, Thomas¹), born 22 June 1764, probably at Sandwich although not recorded there [the date of his birth is taken from the Fairfield, Me., town records]; died, probably in or near Fairfield, after 27 April 1810, when he is named as one of the heirs of his father's (intestate) estate.

He married 17 July 1790 Mary⁶ Fish (Fairfield Town Records), daughter of Eliab⁵ Fish (Peleg⁴, Seth³, Ambrose², ?Nathaniel¹) by his wife Abigail⁵ Swift (William⁴, Jireh³, William^2-1), of Sandwich, born in Sandwich 5 Jan. 1768, baptized there with four siblings 14 Sept. 1777 (Sandwich 1st Church Records). Her parents also removed to Fairfield. The will of Eliab⁵ Fish, of Fairfield, Somerset Co., Me., dated 2 Aug. 1803, proved 4 Oct. 1813, gives "To my daughter Mary Landers" (Somerset County Probates, 2:332).

This Thomas Landers, called "Junior", was named tything man at Fairfield in 1792; no doubt the deed, probate and town records contain more data about him.
