English physician. Thomas Sydenham (SIHD-nuhm) was born at Wynford Eagle, Dorset, early in September of 1624. The date September 10, which is conventionally given for his birthday, is in fact his baptismal day, which suggests that his birthday was a few days earlier. The Sydenham family were West Country Puritan gentry powerful in the county. Sydenham’s father was William Sydenham; his mother, Mary Jeffrey Sydenham. They were the parents of ten children, of which Thomas was the fifth son of seven, five of whom survived infancy. The eldest son became Colonel William Sydenham (1615-1661), a parliamentary commander in the English Civil War and prominent politician of the Commonwealth and Protectorate. Thomas had the conventional upbringing of a younger son of the gentry, and later, despite his international reputation and success in medicine, he would never completely outgrow his Puritan and provincial origins.
