| 5901 | Thomas Cole was born at "The Slade". the ancestral home of a long line of Coles. He was the second son of John Cole and Mary Archdeacon, therefore, according to the law of progeniture, he was not to inherit his father's estates. He went to London and became a wealthy grocer living in the Parish of All Hallows on Honey Lane. Honey Lane was just off Cheapside in London, one of the main thoroughfares with markets held in the middle of the road. The great processions passed through Cheapside and Monarchs rode through from the Tower to be crowned at Westminster. The inhabitants of Honey Lane had a front-row seat to English history. He married Elizabeth Hargrave, daughter of Thomas Hargrave, "citizen and haberdasher" of London. It is very likely that he served an apprenticeship under Thomas Hargrave before opening his own "grocer" which inventoried a variety of items other than just food. His children were: William James b. May 1540, who married Annes Colles (Cole) daughter of Michael Colles (Cole); Elizabeth died young, Martha b. Aug 1541. who married John Warsop of Clapham in Surrey; Thomas b. Dec 1543,who became a priest and died unmarried; Emanuel b. 1545 and married Margaret Ingram, daughter of Hugh Ingram of London. (Their son, William Cole, settled in Ireland and became immediate ancestor of distinguished descendants in Ireland, the Earls of Enniskillen;) John b. Jun 1545; Solomon b. Jan 1547. d.Nov 1629 at Liss in Hampshire and married Mary Dering, heiress of Thomas Dering; ; Barnabus b. Jul 1551; Matthew b. Dec 1552; John b. Oct 1554. Burial: All Hallows by the Tower Church, London, City of London, Greater London, England | COLE, Thomas (I45003)

| 5902 | Thomas Frederick Adams was born four months after the death of his father, Thomas Adams. Thomas Frederick had two brothers, Albert and Charles, and two sisters, Caroline and Harriet, who were all likely born in York County, Limerick, Maine, where their parents, Thomas Adams and Betsey Dolloff lived on a farm. He also had 7 half-brothers and sisters, born to his father's first wife, Mary Perry. The early Maine census records only name heads of households. No children names and ages, or spousal names are listed. Having "run away" from home at the age of 13, Thomas Frederick Adams never appears in the Maine Census records. Following his youthful adventures at sea, Thomas Frederick Adams established himself in Indiana, where his mother and his brother Albert (and his wife and two children) had previously moved, and in December of 1847, Thomas F Adams married Lucy Cole, in Switzerland County, Indiana, per the Indiana Marriage Index. There were many large Cole families in the county at that time. The children of Thomas Frederick Adams and Lucy (Cole) Adams listed in the 1860 Indiana census for Switzerland County, Cotton Township, were Lewis J. age 12, Harriet E. age 10, John W. age 7, Newton E. age 2, and Charley A. age 1. In the previous census, in 1850, Thomas Frederick Adams is not listed, but Lucy Adams is listed, with her one year old son,Lewis. Thomas Frederick Adams' second wife was Melissa Downey, who was listed with him in that 1860 census record. Information for that marriage came from the Indiana Marriage Index 1851-1900. At the time of the 1860 enumeration, Melissa was age 25, born in Indiana and a daughter, Leora is mentioned for the first time in that census record, along with all the previous children in that 1860 census. It is not known why Leora was not in previous census listings with the family. Dates would indicate that Leora is a child of Thomas Frederick Adams by Lucy Cole. Following the death of Melissa, in 1864, Thomas Frederick Adams marriedf or the third time, to Rebecca Dickerson. (Her last name is seen to have at least four various spellings in the various records.) She had six children following their marriage, and those children's names are listed in the 1880 Switzerland County, Indiana, census: Thomas, Rebeca (sic), and the children, Elsie, Edith, Silvester (sic), Charlotte, Lenny, and Alma. What records exist, indicate that Thomas Frederick had six children by Lucy Cole, none by Melissa Downey, and six by Rebecca Dickerson. The 1880 Switzerland County, Cotton Township, Indiana Census, (microfilmT9-313), also lists Thomas' father as being from Maine, and for the first time provided the information that his mother was from New Hampshire. That census stated his age to be 52, 53 or 55. The age is barely legible. His occupation is listed as farmer. His Dwelling # was 83 in 1880. The following "history" was passed down through Deborah Ray Piper's lineof descent from Albert C Adam Sr. This story of Thomas Frederick Adams was first an oral family history which eventually was committed to writing and published in a genealogical reference: "History of Switzerland County, Indiana from their earliest settlement" Chicago: Weakley, Harraman & Co., Publishers, 1885 - page 1185 & 1186, Biographical Sketches. "A retired representative of the agricultural interest of Pratt County, Kansas, Thomas had seen much of life, and that in many climes. At the age of 82 he was still in active and robust health. At the age of 78 he was living on Section 2, Township 28, of Valley Township, near the village of Cunningham, Kansas. "He was a native of Maine, of a mixed English and Irish descent. He was a tanner and a currier (sic) by trade. "As a boy, at the age of 13, Thomas Frederick Adams was apprenticed tothe trade of carpentry, being bound to a carpenter at Randolph,Massachusetts. Being a lad of independent spirits and the service to thecarpenter not to his liking, he ran away, and at New Bedford,Massachusetts, at the age of 13, he shipped out in a whaler. This ship,called the "John Howland," (see Family Album) was bound for the SouthPacific on a long cruise. Thomas spent the following three and one-halfyears on this cruise. The voyage took in many of the islands of thePacific. On one occasion, while the ship was putting into the "SocietyIslands" for water and provisions, the cry of "Thar She Blows" came fromthe man on lookout, and boats were quickly lowered. All haste was madetowards a school of whales led by an enormous specimen. Thomas was in theprow of a boat, and pulled the after-oar, and his boat was fortunateenough to get to it first, succeeding in killing the whale. It was a 100foot long whale, yielding 100 barrels of oil. It will be of interest inpassing that one tooth of this gigantic monster weighed two pounds andmeasured eight inches in length, and eight inches in circumference. As asouvenir of his life at sea, he brought home such a whale's tooth, onwhich was neatly engraved a picture of the ship on which he had sailed.During his voyage, he passed through many exciting and dangerousadventures, at one time being in a boat when it was stove-in by an angrywhale, and he came near to being drowned. "Returning to New Bedford at the end of the cruise, Thomas again shippedout on board another vessel, this one being a US Man of War, the"Cumberland," an historic frigate which in later years, during the CivilWar, was sunk by the Merrimack at Hampton Roads. At the time that Thomastook sail on her (he was 16 years old), she was bound for theMediterranean squadron. It was her maiden cruise. She was made theflagship of the Mediterranean Squadron. Her captain was Samuel L. Breeze,and the commander of the squadron was a Commodore Smith. Thomas served onboard the Cumberland for three years, during which time he was in everyport in the Mediterranean Sea. "He next took service at the age of 19 on the Montezuma, bound forValparizo, with a large cargo of merchandise. Thomas was engaged in thisservice on the sea and lakes for five years, until he was 24 years ofage, in 1847. His last voyage was from San Francisco to New Bedford. Uponthat occasion, he went to visit his widowed mother, who was now living inSwitzerland County, Indiana. His brother, Albert C Adams Sr and his wife,were already living there. "He was prevailed upon to quit the sea, and he then located in that areaof Indiana. There he married Lucy Cole, who bore him six children. Shedied prior to the Civil War. "His second marriage was to Melissa Downey, with whom he lived forseveral years, until the outbreak of the Civil War. "He enlisted in October of 1861 in the 50th Indiana Infantry, Company 3,with Captain Percy Rouse and Colonel Ayrus Dunham commanding theregiment. This regiment was composed largely of Indiana deer hunters andsaw a great deal of service as sharp-shooters. They were in advance ofmany battles, and were later sent to Little Rock, Arkansas, where theyfought Price continuously for 42 days. There were scarcely any of themilitary leaders of the south that the regiment was not pitted against,including Forest, Morgan, and others. At the battle of Camiden, Thomasreceived a bad wound through the leg, and was also struck a glancing blowover his left eye by a mini ball. "At the Battle of the Green River Bridge, he received a severe saberwound, having volunteered for special duty, the object being to capture16 of Morgan's men who had become isolated from their company. They weresurrounded in a farm house, but were too quick for their pursuers, andsucceeded in reaching horses. They made a bad fight of it, and one ofthem singled out Mr. Adams, and riding furiously upon him, slashedviciously with his saber, but was neatly picked off his horse by Mr.Adams' bayonet, but in the action, Mr. Adams was not able to prevent athrust from the saber of his enemy. From the effects of this wound, helater became disabled, and it was years before he recovered. He wasdischarged from Indianapolis in 1864 for disability, having served assergeant of his company during the latter part of his participation inthe war. "During his absence, Mr. Adams' second wife, Melissa Downey, had died. Hefound a mother for his children in Rebecca Dickinson. "In 1884, when Thomas Frederick Adams was 61 years old, he and his thirdwife, Rebecca, moved to the great state of Kansas, where they located inPratt County and homesteaded 160 acres in Valley Township. Here he put upthe usual shelter of that period, a home made of sod, 16 feet by 30 feetin size. There they lived for the next seven years while they raisedtheir new family. He then bought a house in the village of Cairo, andmoved the house to his farm. There he engaged in farming and raisingstock. The farm on which he lived was one of the most valuable farms inthe county, and it was well improved by him, and had good buildings andfences appropriate to a farm of the times. He had 70 head of fine cattleand other animals such as are found on an ordinary ranch. "For the first few years of his life in Kansas, he engaged in active workon the farm himself, but in later years, had turned the management overto his son, Sylvester, who had taken over the responsibility for hisfather." | ADAMS, Thomas Frederick (I33175)

| 5904 | Thomas Gill “was one of the early settlers of Hing. and the ancestor of all who have borne the surname in this town [Hingham]. He prob. came here at or ab. the time Rev. Peter Hobart and his company arrived, as he had a house-lot of five acres granted him the same yr., 1635, which was located on or near what is now the corner of main and South Sts. He also had grants of land at Broad Cove, at Pleasant Hill, etc. ... Constable in 1668; selectman 1645, 1646, 1684, and 1690. On May 4, 1650, his house was destroyed by fire.

|
| 5905 | Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset, 1st Earl of Huntingdon and 7th Baron Ferrers of Groby, Constable of the Tower of London & Ruthland Castle, was born circa 1455 at Groby, Leicestershire, England. His date of birth is sourced as being aged 37 in 1492. He was created a Knight of the Bath (KB) on 18 Apr 1475. He was created a Knight of the Garter (KG) in 1476 . | GRAY, Sir Thomas (I43306)
|
| 5906 | THOMAS HACHE (Thomas, John), of Sellinge, co. Kent, the testator of 1530, was born probably about 1465. He held the manor of Hodyford, was assessed as "Thomas Hatche the elder" in the hundred of Street, in the subsidy of 1524, and died between 12 Dec. 1530 and 31 Dec. 1534. The name of his wife has not been found, but six children are named in his will in 1530. Children: i. WILLIAM, b. abt. 1488; succeeded to the manor of Hodyford and other lands under the will of his father. Child: 1. Agnes, mentioned in her grandfather's will in 1530. ii. JOHN THE ELDER, b. abt. 1490[-1495]. iii. AGNES. iv. THOMAS, not mentioned in his father's will in 1530, and therefore probably deceased before that year. His existence is inferred from the fact that his supposed father, Thomas Hache, is called "Thomas Hatche the elder" in the subsidy of 1524. v. JOHN THE YOUNGER, b. probably abt. 1495. vi.MARGARET. vii. ALICE. | HATCHE, Thomas (I5083)
|
| 5907 | Thomas Hicks, s/o Samuel and Lydia (Doane) Hicks, was a carpenter, and removed from Dartmouth to Portsmouth, Rhode Island, where he died in 1698. His wife was Mary Albro, daughter of Major John and Dorothy Albro, who died in 1710. Major Albro, who was born in 1617 and died in 1712, came to America in 1634 aboard the ship "Francis" from Ipswich, , England. Major Albro resided in Portsmouth and in 1686 was a member of the council of Sir Edmund Andros, governor of New England. Thomas and Mary Hicks had sons Thomas, Samuel, and Ephraim, and four daughters. | HICKS, Thomas (I19042)

|
| 5909 | Thomas Leighton, married Susanna, daughter of Thomas (husband of Ann Huntress) Chelsey. Thomas Leighton and wife, Susanna, sold, Sept.9, 1737, right in estate of Thomas Chesley last of Dover, father of said Susanna. He was brought up by Lieut. Anthony Nutter. In 1699 he names in a deed to Richard Pinkham, his grandfather, Thomas Leighton and his only sister Elizabeth, wife of Richard Pinkham. His children are all recorded in Dover. In 1710 received land belonging to his grandfathers Leighton and Nutter. His father was then dead in 1710. A Thomas (apparently the same) had a wife Susanna, and children. | LEIGHTON, Thomas (I5290)
|
| 5910 | Thomas living in 1643, when he was given a bequest of five pounds in the will of his uncle John Carlton. He is perhaps the Thomas Carlton buried at Barmston 30 Sept. 1657, and his estate mentioned as a creditor in the inventory of Thomas Bilton of Beeford, 5 Oct. 1657, in the Beeford Manor Court. | CARLETON, Thomas (I37484)
|
| 5911 | Thomas married his third and last wife, Rebecca Dickenson, in 1864. It was their son, Silvester/Sylvester, born 1870, to whom Thomas F Adams turned over his Kansas farm in around 1900, when Thomas retired. | DICKINSON, Rebecca (I33155)
|
| 5912 | Thomas of Haverhill, married 3 Dec. 1677 Hannah Emerson, who later was the famous Indian captive and killer, Hannah Dustin. His will proved 27 Nov. 1732, hers 6 Mar. 1737-8. 13 children including Timothy, married 7 Nov. 1718 Sarah Johnson. —— On the morning of March 15, 1697 about 20 Abinake Indians in war dress descended on the outlying homes of Haverhill. Thomas Dustin, constable of Haverhill at the time, was working outdoors and saw them approaching. He hurried to warn his family. He sent their seven children aged 17 to 2 to the nearest garrisoned house (probably Onisephorus Marsh's) telling them to run as quickly as possible. He then urged his wife Hannah to come with him on the one horse. But six days earlier Hannah had given birth to their 11th child, Martha. Although they certainly would have taken the baby with them there was a neighbor who had been nursing Hannah, Mary (Corliss) Neff, a widow, to consider. One can imagine the confusion of those few moments with the Indians approaching. Hannah urged Thomas to go with the children and protect them and he did. He was resolved to save at least one of the fleeing children--"the dearest one" according to [Cotton] Mather who later personally interviewed Hannah. He intended to swing that one on the horse with him and ride on. However, he could not make such a painful choice and so, dismounting and keeping the horse between the fleeing band and the two or three Indians who followed, they all arrived at the place of safety. He had a musket and Chase debates as to whether he fired at the pursuers as some accounts suggest. | DUSTIN, Thomas (I34487)
|
| 5913 | Thomas owned land on the south side of the Oyster River by May 1643 as he is mentioned in the land grant to Valentine Hill. Thomas was involved in a lawsuit in 1642 so was here by that time. On 11 June 1644 Thomas was granted three acres at Oyster Point and the neck of land opposite. He was granted 30 acres at Oyster Point in 1649 and had another grant in 1654. On 3 Sept. 1680 Thomas and Margaret Willey deposed that they had lived in Oyster River 40 years and that Thomas Stevenson cultivated his neck of land forty years ago near the Oyster Bank, commonly called Stevenson's Neck. The western boundary of Thomas's land was called Stevenson's Creek. On the neck between Oyster River and Stevenson's creek at the end of the point is Thomas's cellar hole. In the field near the homesite is a low mound with several granite field stones like those used to mark graves in the 17th century. "The Towne Rate made the 19th 10th mo 48. Tho : Stephenson, Rated and to pay 4d p£ is 0050:00:00 0000:16:04" "To the Right Worshipfull the Governor and magistrates & Deputies of the Generall Court now assembled in Boston.

Stevenson 1-0-0."(2) He was taxed again the same year for 14. "Oyster River Provetion Rate made throwe the hole towneship ye 7th 10th month 1663... Tho. Stevenson estat 0-4-3." The administration of the estate of Thomas Stevens/o Oyster River was granted to his son Joseph, 28 June 1664. Joseph Stevenson, being a minor, chose William Follett for his guardian, who accepted and gave bonds of £100 "for paymt of the portions to rest of sd Joseph his brothers & sisters, when it is knowne wt it comes to". The inventory was taken by William Follett, John Davis, and William Dow and amounted to £107/1/3 and was attested by Joseph Stevenson, administrator, 29 June 1664. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb..com/~mainegenie/STEVENSO.htm | STEPHENSON, Thomas (I4951)
|
| 5914 | Thomas Rogers, a Mayflower Pilgrim and one of forty-one signatories of the Mayflower Compact was among those who did not survive that first harsh Plymouth, Massachusetts winter of 1620-1621. Thomas Rogers was accompanied by his son, Joseph, but not his wife or other children, who had stayed behind in Leiden. There is record of his wife and other children in the 1622 poll tax of Leiden. Thomas died during the first winter in Plymouth (1621), when Joseph was 18. Of Thomas little is known. Born by about 1572, s/o William and Eleanor (____) Rogers, Watford, Northamptonshire [TGM 3: 1598 citing The Genealogist] In 1619 he sued a baker and a miller of Leiden to free a lien on his house, and perhaps in preparation for his journey, won the suit and was awarded court costs. (NEHGR 143:207). He had bought this house in 1617 and sold it April, 1620 (Ibid.) Thomas Rogers (William) was born in Watford, Northamptonshire CA 1572. Thomas died 1621 in Plymouth, Barnstable, at 49 years of age. —— ANCESTRAL SUMMARY: The often published descent of Thomas Rogers from John Rogers the Martyr is complete fiction. Thomas Roger's true English origins were discovered in 1989 by Clifford Stott and published with supporting documentation in The Genealogist 10:138-149. Thomas Rogers was the s/o William and Eleanor Rogers, and grands/o William and Joan Rogers. Thomas' marriage to Alice Cosford and his children's baptisms are all found in the parish registers of Watford, Northampton, England. http://worldconnect.rootsweb..com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=pavone&id=I15820 | ROGERS, Thomas (I40531)
|
| 5915 | Thomas settled in Cohasset, MA in 1703. The record found in some of the old manuscripts indicating that Thomas bought land in Ashford, Conn., in May 1716 was in error. This land record has been checked and found that it was Joseph Orcutt that bought land in Ashford in 1716. The descendants of Thomas Orcutt migrated to Penobscot, ME, while his brother John's descendants migrated to Hancock, ME. | ORCUTT, Thomas (I22172)

| 5917 | Thomas Stickney was Moderator of Town Meetings, 1775-78, 1780-82, and 1789. He pledged his life and fortune to sustain the Colonies in the Revolution on March 14, 1776, and was chosen one of the Committee of Safety. Their power was extensive, and their trust one of great responsibility, none but the firmest Whigs were appointed. 4 March 1777, he was again appointed on the Committee of Safety, and was also employed for arresting Tories. He was a Representative 1777-1779. He, then Colonel, was at Ticonderoga July 1777, and was at the Battle of Bennington, 16 August 1777. On 26 January 1778, he was chosen Representative to the Convention that met to form a plan of government for the state. | STICKNEY, Thomas (I36761)

Sailing from England in the summer of 1633 they landed in Boston, Mass. on September 4, 1633 on the good ship Griffen. William made the trip with his wife Alice, his first wife, and Thomas was married to Elizabeth Woodruff aboard the Griffen during the voyage. Thomas was 31 years old when he arrived in Boston. | WARDWELL, Thomas (I38395)

|
| 5922 | Thomas was a merchant and called "one of the most enterprising business men in the Co" in his Gazette obituary. He was the richest man in Tisbury in 1850, 1860, and 1870 according to census figures. | BRADLEY, Thomas (I6225)
|
| 5923 | Thomas was in Newbury, Essex, Mass., in 1637. He came to Hampton in 1638, but he moved to York, York, Maine, in 1654. He was a twin, the 7th of 10 children and the youngest of 5 sons of Robert and Mary. He was made a freeman of Massachusetts March 31, 1638 and listed among the settlers at Hampton 'the first summer', in 1639. He was a selectman of Hampton for four year terms in 1644 and 1652 (See Austin's Moulton Family, p. C). http://worldconnect.rootsweb..com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=wprokasy1&id=I12577 —— THOMAS, Newbury 1637, removed with Rev. Mr. Bachilor, in 1639, to Hampto n, by wife Martha had Thomas, bapt. 24 Nov. 1639; and Daniel, 13 Feb. 164 1; was freeman 13 Mar. 1639, and d. 18 Feb. 1665. (Savage vol 3, page 249) —— THOMAS of Newbury, Mass., then Hampton, N. H., 1638, finally of York, Me. Most of the York County Moultons are his descendants. The names of Thomas and John Moulton are found among the grantees and first settlers of Hampton. They had assigned to them adjoining house lots and lived neighbors to each other nearly twenty years, when Thomas sold his property to Rev. Timothy Dalton and removed to York, Me. It is not certain when Thomas left England, but he is thought to have gone first to St. Christopher in 1635, then being twenty years of age, and thence to New England. The relationship of these three is unknown, though they are commonly believed to have been brothers. (Some descendants of John Moulton and William Moulton of Hampton, New Hampshire, page 6-8) | MOULTON, Thomas (I33802)
|
| 5924 | Thomas was one year old when he came to New England with his parents. He later went to Ipswich. Massachusetts, and was living in Hampton, New Hampshire, 20 Oct. 1653, and was an owner of mill property there on Oyster river. He made his home at that place as late as 1660. He afterwards removed to that portion of Rowley, which is included in the present town of Bradford, Massachusetts. Previous to 1675 the section where Thomas and his brother Benjamin lived was within the limits of Rowley, but the locality was called Merrimack when Thomas was elected a constable on 20 Feb. 1668-9. His house was one of the legal places for posting and "publishing any orders or other business of public concernment to the whole town." His house was situated on the Boxford road, and its situation can still be located. At that place he lived and prospered for about ten years. He was a mechanic and a thrifty farmer, owning over four hundred acres of land and a large amount of personal property, as is shown by the inventory of his estate. Thomas Kimball married Mary, daughter of Thomas and Joanna Smith of Ipswich, as is shown by the following note from the records at Salem: "18 Nov. 1686 Richard and Benjamin Kimball of Bradford did covenant to and with the Selectmen of Ipswich that they would take Thomas Smith and his wife to Bradford to the house of Mary Kimball the widow of Thomas Kimball and provide their Meate, drink, washing, lodgeing, clothes and attendance with all things necessary for persons in such a condition for the space of one year beginning at the date hereof, the price for a year to be £25." "8 Dec. 1681 Agreed with Richard Kimball of Bradford to allow unto him further keeping and providing for his grandfather Thomas Smith for the year ensuing £13." According to this Joanna Smith had probably died during the year. At that time the skulking Indians continually annoyed the white inhabitants. The Merrimac river was a pathway; the Indians could make rapid sallies upon the settlements and make their escape without penetrating the forests. Haverhill had been attacked with all the cruelty of the savages. On the night of 2 May 1676, three well known 'converted' (half civilized) Indians, Peter, Andrew, and Simon, were intending to kill some parties in Rowley, but the night being far advanced, they wreaked their vengeance upon the Kimball's. Thomas Kimball was killed by Simon, and his wife and five children, namely, Joanna, Thomas, Joseph, Priscilla, and John were taken captive and carried forty miles into the wilderness, where they remained forty-one days, and were freed without ransom by the friendly offices of the chief Wanalancet, of the Pennacook Indians. Her own life and that of her infant were threatened, and twice were the fires lighted to burn them. They reached their home 13 June 1676. Great was the anguish of their friends during their captivity, and on 3 May 1676, her pious parents in Ipswich asked prayers on the Sabbath that they might be delivered. Subsequently she addressed a petition to the Governor and Council that she might be protected from Simon, the Indian, who had threatened to kill her and her children if she returned to her own house. The three Indians were seized and confined in jail, but escaped and pursued their course of blood most mercilessly thereafter, and their subsequent fate is unknown. They were semi-civilized and had worked for and lived a great deal with the white people. The name of Thomas Kimball occurs very frequently on the early records of the town of Merrimack. Until the time of his death he always held some town office, being frequently selectman. Thomas had a share and a half of Plum Island, &c., 1664. 8 | KIMBALL, Thomas (I4891)

| 5925 | Thomas was well established in Beeford, co. Yorkshire, in 1573 when his friend, William Morris bequeathed to him "my best cote and my daggar," and he also joined in giving bonds for the payment of other legacies of the same will. The parish register of Beeford began in 1563--not early enough to give a record of baptism or marriage of Thomas' children--but it would appear that he had no large family, or at least they did not reach maturity, for all Carleton names found in Beeford parish registers can be placed in the family of his one son, John. A Chancery Court suit of Thomas Carleton (grands/o Thomas) shows that Jennett Wilson, wife of Thomas, was a sister of Thomas Wilson, gentleman. Thomas Wilson died about 1609 leaving his wife as executrix of his will and his grand-nephew, Thomas Carleton, heir to his houses and lands in Kingston-on-Hull. ******************************** York Probate Registry, Act Book, Holderness, 1582. On the first day of May 1582 administration of all and singular the goods, rights and credits which belonged to Thomas Carleton late of Beforthe in Holdernes, deceased, was granted to Janet relict of the said deceased, sworn in form of law, and she has until the feast of Holy Trinity next for presenting an inventory of the goods of the said deceased, under penalty of V shillings, and the said relict and others were put under bonds. And on the 15th day of May 1582 there was presented an inventory under agreement of adding to and correcting it. . . . Exhibiting through her proctor in writing, the aforesaid Jenet Carleton widow, administratrix of the goods rights and credits of Thomas Carleton, deceased, presented an account of her administration, by which she established that she had expended beyond the total of the goods of the said deceased; the court freed and acquitted her, and on her petition granted her testimonial letters. (York Probate Registry, Act Book, Holderness, 1582.)[:ITAL] Chancery Proceedings. (Public Record Office, London) 19 May 1625} Thomas Carlton of Lockington in the county of York (grands/o Thomas) showed the court that he was heir to his grandmother's brother's estate which consisted of "three tenements with the gardens thereto belonging of the yearly value of twenty pounds and upwards, neere unto blacke frior gate in Kingston upon Hull." Thomas Carlton was under-age at the time of his uncle's death, and Wilson's widow had had use and income from the property until her death, ca. 1617. At the time of the widow's death, Thomas Carlton was not well and was unable to travel to Kingston upon Hull to see about his property, and an Anne Sparrowe, executrix to the estate of Agnes Wilson, widow, with her husband, William Sparrowe, had "combyned and confederated themselves" with others to "defeate and defraud" said Thomas Carlton of his just and lawful title to the property, and had received and taken the profits for their own use. Thomas Carlton asks the court to order them to appear in court and give him his legal rights to this property.

He married Mary Cranbroke (1609-1641), daughter of William and Mabel Cranbroke of Cranbrook, Kent on August 10, 1629 in South Weald. They came to America in about 1635, settling initially in Watertown, Massachusetts and eventually coming to Wethersfield, Connecticut as early settlers. They had 4 sons and 1 daughter, the youngest son possibly born in Watertown, Massachusetts. Thomas Wright was eventually the owner of nearly all the lots on Manhannock Island east of Wethersfield; the island ceased to exist when the Connecticut River eventually changed its course. He was Deputy to the Connecticut General Court in 1643, Selectman in 1658, and constable in 1668-1669. After the death of his first wife Mary in about 1639, he married on May 2, 1647 in Wethersfield Margaret, widow of John Elsen who had died in the Wethersfield Massacre of 1637. Thomas Wright, Sr. died on April 21, 1670 and is buried in Wethersfield Village Cemetery, though the perishable burial marker used at that time no longer exists. | WRIGHT, Thomas (I4605)

Was in possession of and was the lord of said manor, about sixty years after the Conques, A.D. 1130, and it is believed that the family possessed it before the Norman Invasion.

| 5935 | Throckmortons are the oldest Catholic family in England. The Throckmorton’s who celebrated their 600th Anniversary of residence at Coughton Court in 2009 have remained Roman Catholics since the reformation. Various members of the family were involved in, or connected with, pre-Reformation plots and conspiracies including the Throckmorton Plot of 1583 and the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Although Royalist sympathisers during the Civil War, the family was one of very few recusant families to survive the turbulent 16th and 17th centuries with their estates intact. They went on to become leaders in Catholic emancipation in the 18th and 19th Centuries. The sixth Baronet assumed the additional surname of Courtenay in 1792 on inheriting the Courtenay estates of Molland, Devon, through his mother. The eighth Baronet was Member of Parliament for Berkshire. The title became extinct on the death of the twelfth Baronet in 1994. However, the Throckmorton family is still resident at Coughton Court, which is now managed by the National Trust. The Throckmorton Family Gardens at Coughton Court are still owned and managed by the family. Clare McLaren-Throckmorton together with her daughter, acclaimed garden designer Christina Williams, has devoted the past 15 years – with the support of a dedicated team of gardeners – to developing what is now one of the finest gardens in Britain. Clare’s children, Christina, Guy and Charles, and her 10 grandchildren, have grown up with this magnificent estate as their family home, and it will be their future legacy to maintain the personal family influences that make it so special. http://www.coughtoncourt.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16&Itemid=18 | THROCKMORTON, Thomas (I19723)

| 5936 | Throughout his life he displayed an aversion to firearms, which he regarded with absolute fear, and even the distant report of a gun cause him to shudder. He could never be induced to use dangerous weapons, neither could he listen to anecdotes of Indian warfare, and when drafted into service during the Revolutionary war, the officers, on being made acquainted with the cause of his inability to bear arms, assigned him to duty in the commissary department. He was also averse to the taking of the life of any creature whatever, and from youth to old age was never known to voluntarily speak of his father's death. —Stearns History of New Hampshire, p1404 | DICKINSON, Benoni (I42505)

| 5939 | Timothy Dame, Admitted to Yuba County Bar and practiced law 1859-61. From Indiana. Went to San Jose in 1861. Is this the Judge Timothy Dame who was president of the Western Pacific railroad? The San Francisco and San Jose Railroad was a railroad incorporated on August 18, 1860 and consists of 49.5 miles (80 km) of track running the San Francisco Peninsula from San Francisco, California to San Jose, California. The president of the company was listed as Timothy Dame with company headquarters in San Francisco. The Western Pacific Railroad was formed in December, 1862, by a group led by Timothy Dame and including Charles McLaughlin and Peter Donahue, all associated with the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad, to build a railroad from San Jose north to Vallejo's Mills (mouth of Niles Canyon, later Niles, now part of Fremont), east through Niles Canyon, north to Dublin/Pleasanton, east through the Livermore Valley, and over Altamont Pass to Stockton, then north to Sacramento,[1] with the plan that the transcontinental railroad would follow the Western Pacific to San Jose and then the San Francisco and San Jose to San Francisco. In October, 1864, the Central Pacific Railroad assigned all the rights of the Pacific Railway Acts of 1862 and 1864 to the Western Pacific for the route between Sacramento and San Jose, including land grants.[1] In 1866, the first twenty miles from San Jose had been completed when funding problems halted construction within Niles Canyon. Part of the difficulty was that federal land grants were not available where Mexican land grants had previously been made. | DAME, Timothy (I6495)

The parents had the ability to instruct their children, and they gave them a better education at home than girls generally received in that day. John settled in Barrington. Joseph settled in some town in Maine, and Timothy removed to Rhode Island, where he became one of the Royal Council.

The case was between "Smith & my brother Hammond dauter", and was an attempt by a Mr. Smith to be released from his recently announced marriage intention to marry Sarah Hammond. A letter from the Rev. George Phillips, pastor at Watertown, to John Winthrop dated 24 2nd month 1640, and Gov. Winthrop's own notation on the letter, indicate that Mr. Smith was unsuccessful in his attempt. Mr. Smith's first name is not mentioned. The Hammond genealogy implied that Sarah separated from her husband, but her father's will named daughter Sarah Smith and her son Adam Smith (again not mentioning the husband's name). William left daughter Sarah Ä5, while her sister Hannah Barnes, widow of Timothy Hawkins and wife of Ellis Barron/Barnes was to receive Ä30 and "if she be a widow again" a certain lot of woodland. This suggests that Sarah was reasonably secure financially, not separated and dependent upon her parent's resources. The will also indicates that Sarah's son Adam was living with his grandparents in 1662, but this could be a case of a youth sent to assist his aging grandparents and serve in their household. Daniel2 Smith, s/o Richard and Sarah Smith of Smithtown, took as his second wife Ruhamah (Johnson) Hawkins, widow of Timothy2 Hawkins (s/o Timothy and Anne (Hammond) Hawkins. Richard Smith's son Adam is traditionally supposed to have married Elizabeth Browne, daughter of Edmund Browne of Dorchester. All this suggests some Massachusetts ties for this Long Island family -- which could be readily accounted for if Sarah, wife of Richard Smith, were Sarah Hammond, daughter of William Hammond. | SMITH, Elizabeth (I34869)

| 5957 | Triphena or Tryphena was her given name. Her family name was probably Eames and she seems to have been born in England about 1612. (If she was born in 1612, then she would have been 46 at the time of her last child's birth.) She was probably born in England and immigrated to Massachusetts Bay, settling in of Hingham, Suffolk, Massachusetts Bay She married Andrew Lane most likely in 1639, however her first pregnancy that is recorded was the birth of triplets in 1646. She died 2 Mar 1707 in Hingham.

| 5958 | Tristam came to New England at the age of 11 with his father, his father's second wife, and his siblings, Joane, Joseph, Elizabeth, Temperance, Grissell, and Dorothy in 1635. Also in their company was Judeth French, John Wood and Robert Dabyn, servants. He owned a ship named The Catch, was part owner of the bark Hopewell, and frequently made long sea voyages. Customs entries show that he was engaged to a considerable extent in trade with the West Indies. Known as Capt. Hull when he was 'on shore' he took a lively interest in local affairs affecting the well-being of Barnstable, was treated with special consideration by his fellow townsmen, and unhesitatingly performed the multifarious duties expected in those days of prominent and public-spirited citizens. The records of Barnstable show that he frequently served on juries, was one of the town dignitaries appointed to wait upon the Assembly Committee concerning the town charter, took a leading part in the purchase of town lands from the Indians, served one year as constable, and during the last six years of his life was a leading member of the town board of selectmen. Tristram aided an old church member, who had been fined and banished for 'raising his voice' against Quaker persecution. He picked him up bodily and carried him off in his own ship as far as Sandwich, on the Cape, in direct violation of the law and contempt of the magistrates. In the government's fanatical and inhuman persecution of the Quakers his sympathies were with the latter, and he boldly rendered them assistance and succor whenever and wherever occasion offered. For this he was subjected to much annoyance and heavy fines, but there is nothing to indicate that this made him change his course. In spite of the government's unjust and cruel attitude toward the Quakers, or rather we should doubtless say because of it, several of his children and many of their descendants publicly espoused the Quaker faith, and some of them became prominent leaders in the denomination. | HULL, Capt Tristram (I3902)

| 5959 | Tristram Coffin born 11 March 1609 Plymouth, Brixton Parish, Devonshire, England christened 11 March 1609 Plymouth, Brixton, Devonshire, England died 20 October 1681 Nantucket, Nantucket County, Massachusetts. He always spelled his name "Coffyn". In 1642 he emigrated to America with his wife, five small children, his widowed mother, and two unmarried sisters. Tristram first settled in Haverhill, removed to Newbury in 1648, thence to Salisbury in 1654 and thence to Nantucket, of which island he was one of the original proprietors. Died at new residence on the hill, at Northham, near Capaum Pond. "Tristram Coffyn was of the landed gentry. Most probably he was a Churchman after the order of Elizabeth's time. Considering the eventful period of his life immediately following the death of his father, which probably occurred early in 1628, when he had but attained his twenty-third year, it is easy to perceive how the perplexing complications of the King and the Parliament, gave him little peace of mind or enjoyment of his estate. The whole kingdom, in 1642, exhibited a most melancholy spectacle. Each county, town, and hamlet, was divided into factions seeking the ruin of each other. The two great armies plundered wherever they came, and their example was faithfully copied by smaller bodies of armed men." "It was his utter want of faith in the institutions of England that sent him across the ocean with a wife and five small children, a widowed mother and two unmarried dependent sisters, to found a new home among the barren hills of New England. While he could not bring his landed estates, he doubtless did not come penniless" adds day and month to birth year. "Most influential man of Nantucket I. Royalist." ----- Tristram Coffin's ancestors are traced back in a direct line to Sir Richard Coffin, Knight, who accompanied William the Conqueror from Normandy to England in the year 1066 ; and the Manor of Alwington, in the county of Devonshire, was assigned to him, and has remained in the family ever since, passing from father to son, in accordance with the law of primogeniture of England. The original stone house which has been occupied by the Coffins for so many centuries is still the residence of one of the family, whose name is John F. Pine Coffin, and who has an interesting family of ten children, and on a recent visit by one of the American branch seemed much gratified in recounting the history of the family. He was very cordial in his hospitality to the American Coffin, and showed the various and interesting 'manuscript deeds of the property, extending back many centuries. During this social call by the American his English kinsman said : " You will take some refreshment with me ; you will have tea and cocoa. I am a teetotaler, and do not offer wine to my guests." The butler brought in excellent refreshments. It is not probable that all of the Coffin race have been teetotalers, but it is a singular coincidence that the present owner of the original English estate and the subject of this sketch are precisely of the same habits in regard to intoxicating drinks. The estate consists of two thousand seven hundred acres. The coat of arms of the present family at Portledge has been blended with that of the Pine family, — a noted family of Devon with whom the Coffins are intermarried, — so it is not now the original coat of arms of the Coffin family. It is a singular fact that the name has become extinct in Normandy, but has increased to thousands in England and America. A careful observer cannot fail to perceive a strong family resemblance among these numerous people, and certain characteristics which are strongly marked. A French Count, by the name of Le Clere, married the last Miss Coffin, who inherited the estate of Courtiton, near Fallaise, Normandy, which is the birthplace of Sir Richard, of English fame. This estate is now owned by the great-grands/o the Count. Monsieur Le Clere is very courteous to the English and American Coffins who visit France and pay their respects to the birthplace of their distinguished ancestor. Only a portion of the original chateau is standing, but in the old church on the premises are all of the Coffin records and monuments. The name was originally spelled Cophin, then Coffyn, and now Coffin, as shown by the manuscript deeds from one generation to another. For centuries there has been a Pine Coffin in the English family. Ever since the first Sir Richard from Normandy entered England, this family has occupied honorable positions under the British government. They are now to be found in the army, navy, church, law, medical, and scientific professions, in England. The American branch has equally distinguished itself, and now men and women in every State in the Union are to be found, who came from this same family. In every college in this country may be found the name of Coffin among the alumni. Merchants, bankers, manufacturers, navigators, the learned professions, and sciences are well represented by this family in the United States. http://www.geni.com/surnames/coffin | COFFIN, Tristram (I12010)

| 5960 | Tristram was a sea captain until, in his old age, he retired to a farm on Deer Isle on land later owned by his son Captain John. Captain Tristram discontinued his position as master mariner chiefly on account of increasing deafness. The farm on the shore lot furnished him with ample work and a good subsistence with what he had accumulated from his many years of voyaging. | HASKELL, Capt Tristram (I46097)

| 5964 | Two death dates for Rachel, wife of Philip Atwood, were sent in by the town of Malden for recording by Middlesex County, 5 February 1673[/4] and 7 November 1674. Philip's wife Rachel was clearly alive on 24 October 1674, when she acknowledged her joint deed with her husband of 1 October 1674 [MLR 7:176], so only the latter of these two dates can be correct. The earlier death date may pertain to their daughter Rachel. | BATCHELDER, Rachel (I39957)
