There is some circumstantial evidence for Thomas being the son of Thomas Galdman who married Mary Nicholson: Firstly, there is the connection to West Firle, and scondly Thomas and Mary had a son Thomas born 1782 who married Jane Fiest in 1807 (surname spelt various ways in the records - Fiest, Feist, Fist). The parents of Jane Fiest were Thomas Fiest and Jane Huggett (ie same surname as Thomas' wife Elizabeth Huggett). Sue Williams also writes: "On the marriage of Thomas Gladman bachelor to Elizabeth Huggett spinster 7th day April 1821 one of the witnesses was Ann Gladman (I can't read the other - possibly a churchwarden) It is possible that Ann Gladman was the wife of my Gabriel Gladman as I can't see any other Ann Gladman living in the village at the time. This would also seem to point in the direction of Thomas Gladman, son of William, being his father".
