Thomas Stephens, born c.1549 in Bushton (England) and died in 1619 in Salcete, Goa (India), was an English Jesuit priest and missionary in Portuguese India, writer and linguist.
== Early years and studies ==
The son of a merchant, Stephens was born in Bushton, Wiltshire, England, and studied in Oxford before becoming a Catholic. He went to Rome where he entered the Society of Jesus in 1575. He did some philosophical studies at the Collegio Romano before departing for Lisbon, en route for Goa which he reached on 24 October 1579, probably the first Englishman to set foot on Indian soil.〔See William Wilson Hunter's HISTORY OF BRITISH INDIA 1899 Longmans Green & Co, Volume I Chapter II.〕 This is, however, disputed by G. Schurhammer and others.〔See G. Schurhammer, "Thomas Stephens, 1549–1619,” ''The Month'' 199/1052 (April 1955) 197–210〕 After a few months of theological studies he was ordained priest in 1580. He learned to read and write in Konkani and Marathi.
