https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Smythe_

Thomas Smythe [1] was the collector of customs duties in London during the Tudor period. His son and namesake Sir Thomas Smythe was an active supporter of the Virginia colony.

Thomas Smythe, born in 1522, was the second son[2] of John Smythe , a substantial yeoman and clothier of Corsham, Wiltshire, and Joan Brouncker, the daughter of Robert Brouncker of Melksham, Withshire.[3] John Smythe left Thomas a farm in the Hundred of Amesbury, Wiltshire, of the value of £20 per annum. Thomas, who must have been about sixteen years of age at the time of his father's death, came up to London with the intention of seeking his fortune.[4]
