Thomas Pell

Thomas Pell, first Lord of Pelham Manor, was an English-born physician who lived from 1608 until his death on 21 September 1669. He is remembered chiefly as a landholder and town founder in what became New York, and the Wikipedia lead identifies him as a physician. He bought the area known as Pelham, New York, together with land that now includes the eastern Bronx and southern Westchester County, and in 1654 he founded the town of Westchester at the head of navigation on Westchester Creek. The source lead supports only these facts, so nothing is claimed here about his medical training, patients or writings.
