Thomas Harman, Mariner
of Dolphin Row, Poplar

Thomas Harman was a mariner living at Dolphin Row, Poplar and married Grace Chick by license on 1 January 1628-9. He died in 1670 and his will was proved on 3 January and is described as 'Thomas Harman, the elder of Poplar'. He left bequests to his wife, three children Thomas Harman, Mary Browse and Helen Greenaway and to many grandchildren and cousins.

It may be his son's exploits which were recorded in a series of small pictures at Greenwich Hospital. A man of the same name rebuilt an almshouse at Poplar in 1676.
