Thomas Brundage probably died in Rattlesdam Parish, Suffolk England between September 29, 1645 and the end of November 1645. He was married in Rattlesdam Parish on August 30, 1684 to Anne "Agnes" Tompson (Robert) christened at Rattlesdam on December 22, 1560. Anne Brundish, "widow, an ancient, gracious and comfprtable Christian was burried" at Rattlesdam June 1, 1647, daughter of Robert and Agnes (Raynolde) Tompson.
The town of Brundish, Suffolk, England existed by 22 May 1315 (Martin, The Ipswich Recognizance Rolls 1294-1327, A Calendar, p.61). Prior to the commencement of the local parish registers, and Brundish families had migrated to other towns in Suffolk.
Thomas served as a church warden in 1593, 1595, and 1605. In 1608, he served as a constable. Thomas Brundish was assessed 1 shilling as a "rate made by the churchwardens and overseers of the said town of the inhabitants and landowners there toward the relief of the poor of the said town on the 28th of May 1645". Thomas was abated 1 pence the same rate for that he took lands at Michaelmas (29 September).
Thomas must have died shortly thereafter for we find that in November 1645 and March 1646, Widow Brundish received one shilling from the town relief. She was awarded two shillings for relief on 23 April 1647 and 23 May 1647.
