Thomas Blagge was baptised in [[Horningsheath]], [[Suffolk]] on 13 July 1613, second surviving son of Ambrose Blagge (ca 1580-1662) and his first wife Martha (1588-1624). Six of their children lived to adulthood including Thomas; an older brother George (1611-1631), and four younger sisters, Martha, Katherine, Ann and Judith (1620-1707).{{sfn|Hervey|1900|p=23}}
Ambrose owned [[Little Horringer Hall]] near [[Bury St Edmunds]] and was part of a wealthy and well connected circle of Suffolk [[gentry]]. In 1625, his second wife became Margaret Snelling, widowed mother of the painter [[Matthew Snelling]]. From this marriage, Thomas had two half-brothers and a half-sister, Ambrose (1626-?), Henry (1628-?) and Margaret (1635-1720).{{sfn|Edmond|1987|pp=110-111}}
