    • m2 Mary ——
      ——
      Thomas settled in Sudbury, MA in 1665, on the east side of Cochituate Pond, or Long Pond, as it was uniformly called in the early records. This pond lies partly in Natick, partly in Sudbury, and partly in Framingham.
      On Sept. 29, 1673 he bought by exchange from Benjamin and Mary Rice, the northerly one half of eighty acres, which lay between Beaver Dam Brook, Gleason's Pond and Gleason's Hill in Framingham. Gleason's Pond, as it is still called, covers about 13 acres. It was named for Thomas Gleason, and for four generations his descendants lived upon its borders. Thomas' own home was built near it in 1678. On Oct. 5, 1678, he was received as an inhabitant in the town of Sherborn, where he enjoyed civil and religious privileges, his estate being taxable there up to 1700. *
