Geni member S Y notes:
Rev. Thomas Hampton - b. 16 Apr 1623, Kecoughtan, Elizabeth City Co., Va Colony - d. aft. 12 Oct 1690, James City Co., Va Colony.
Concerning the paragraph you have about him going to Oxford in 1625 at age 16 - when he was born in 1623...... I found this in my research years ago, however, I don't know where. But, maybe it would clear up some confusion.
" This Rev. Thomas Hampton should not be confused with his uncle, Rev. Thomas Hampton, who was rector of the church at Jamestown and of a church in York County, from about 1630 until his death on Jan 5, 1648 in York County, where he is buried on King's Creek Swamp.
In 1636, the uncle Rev. Thomas Hampton became a mentor to the nephew, Thomas. Probably no one had greater influence on young Thomas. He sent young Thomas to England to complete his education and for his ordination to the priesthood of the Episcopal church by the Bishop of London who had charge of ecclesiastical affairs in Virginia during the colonial period. Since he had no children of his own, he also made his nephew his heir.
The younger Rev. Thomas Hampton was back in Virginia by 1645 when he married Elizabeth Bridel (daughter of Francis Bridel) in Gloucester County."

So we should change “unknown wife” to Elizabeth Bridel ?
