Thomas Holbrook was born on 1 Mar 1599 in Broadway, So m e r s etshire, England. He died on 10 M a r 1677 in Weymo ut h , N or folk, Massachusett.[In120797.ftw]

A deposition made 7 November, 1666 gives the age of T h o m a s as 77 years. This would have place his year of bi r t h a t c irca 1590. Another source hashim born in 1599.

THE HOLBROOK FAMILY

THOMAS HOLBROOK [#358 & #382], b. abt. 1589, d. Weym o u t h , MA beforeMarch 10, 1677, m. Glast o nbury, Somers et sh ir e , England Sept. 12, 1616JANE POWYS.

Thomas Holbrook was an early and respected residen t o f W e y mouth. He andhis family arrived t h ere in 1635 , an d h e w a s a Selectman there in 1641,'45, '46, '52, a nd '5 4. H e be ca me a free ma n in May, 1645. Thomas waso ne o f the g rante e s of the town of Rehoboth in 1643 bu t forfe it e d h issha r e in 1645 because he did not settl e there . In 164 9 he wa s a ppointed amember o f a c ommis sion t o lay ou t a highwa y fro m Weymouth toDorchester. T en acre s were gr anted t o h i m i n the First Division an dthirt y acres in t he Secon d Divi sion, Dec. 14, 1663.[1]

Thomas Holbrook, aged 77 years or thereabouts, depos e d t h a t he came toNew England with Mr . H ull's compan y i n 16 3 5 , and that they came ashoreat Dorchester Jun e 7, 1 635 ; th a t they we nt t o Dorchester and theCompan y wen t t o a pla c e now called Weymouth; and that after r emain i n g at Dorch es ter about a fortnight, he went wit h his f amil y to the no wWe ymouth and buil t a hous e the re (swor n t o in court Nov . 2 , 1666).[2] Asubsequently d iscovere d rec ord verifi es t hi s i nformation. The recor d isa pas senge r list dated "Way mou th ye 20th of 1635" a nd ref er s to We ymouth, England. A mon g the 106 passenge rs are Tho mas Holb rook, 34, ofBroadwa y, J an e Holbroo k , 34, his w ife, an d children John, 11, T homas ,10, Ann e, 5, and Eliz abeth, 1 . Thes e two docum ent s certa inl y refer tothe sa me man, y et there is an age disc repan c y between the m. B y one acco unt, Thomas would have b ee n bor n about 1589, w hile the ot her puts hisbirth ar ou n d 1600. W h ile both c ould be inac curate, the passenge r lis tis more l ikely inc orrect in r e gard to the ag es . The so n John Holbr ook,li sted as 11 y ears old in 1635 , was mad e a freema n i n 164 0, and th emi nimum age fo r freemanshi p was 21. John' s gr avestone provi des the be st proof of th e age er ror, giv i ng his death da te and a ge - Nov. 23, 169 9,age 82. This in f ormati on is a lso im portan t, as we'll s ee, in locating th e Holbrook's i n En gland.

In Weymouth Thomas lived next door to his sister Reb e c c a a nd her husbandClement Weaver. T h e Weaver's we r e i n We ymou th by June 2, 1640 whenClement was fined f o r drun kenes s.[3/ 17:89 ] T homas and Clement were inpar tn ershi p in man y lan d and other business dealings.[3/17 :88]

The search for Thomas' place of origin has been help e d w i t h thepassenger list reference t o B roadway, whi c h i s i n So mersetshire. NearbyBroadway is the town of G la ston bury , whe re a T homa s Holbrook married onSept. 1 2 , 161 6 to Ja ne Pow ys according to the records of the C hu r c h o fSt. Jo hn th e Baptist. The baptism of the coup le ' s son John is al soreco rded in the sam e chu rch on A pr i l 6, 1618. The name s and d ate ofJohn's baptism matc h u p q uite well with t h e dat a o n the Weymouth, MAfami ly , an d it can be state d with a hig h degree of certaint y t h a t thi sis the famil y of our ances tor. The surnam e o f Po wys is probably derive dfrom the to w n of Po wys.

Thomas made his will Dec. 31, 1668, in which were ment i o n e d his wifeJane, his sons John, Wi l liam, and Thoma s , a n d d aughters, Anne Reynolds,Elizabeth Hatch, and Ja n e Dra ke , an d his gr an d children John Holbrook,Pete r Ho lbrook , a nd Wi lliam Holbrook. He stated that his gr ands o n P et erHo lbroo k had served him and his wife in t hei r old age f or ab ou t 8 years,for which h e wa s to ha ve h is dwellin g hous e i n Weymouth with theorchard and a rabl e land. Thi s wil l h e c onfi rmed Dec. 31, 1673, an d itwa s proved Apr il 24 , 1677. I nventory of the estat e was ta k en Marc h 10 , 1677. [1/268]

See the section on overseas ancestors for Thomas' fa m i l y . Thomas wasfollowed to Weymout h b y his sister Re be cc a , b orn about 1575, and herhusband, Clement Weaver . Jo h n Ho lbro ok, wh o i s believed to have been inDorch este r , MA be for e 1626, is thought to the the brother o f T ho ma s.[3:17/ 85]

W h ile both c ould be inac curate, the passenge r lis tis more l ikely inc orrect in r e gard to the ag es . The so n John Holbr ook,li sted as 11 y ears old in 1635 , was mad e a freema n i n 164 0, and th emi nimum age fo r freemanshi p was 21.

This in f ormati on is a lso im portan t, as we'll s ee, in locating th e Holbrook's i n En gland.

In Weymouth Thomas lived next door to his sister Reb e c c a a nd her husbandClement Weaver. T h e Weaver's we r e i n We ymou th by June 2, 1640 whenClement was fined f o r drun kenes s.[3/ 17:89 ] T homas and Clement were inpar tn ershi p in man y lan d and other business dealings.[3/17 :88]

The search for Thomas' place of origin has been help e d w i t h thepassenger list reference t o B roadway, whi c h i s i n So mersetshire. NearbyBroadway is the town of G la ston bury , whe re a T homa s Holbrook married onSept. 1 2 , 161 6 to Ja ne Pow ys according to the records of the C hu r c h o fSt. Jo hn th e Baptist. The baptism of the coup le ' s son John is al soreco rded in the sam e chu rch on A pr i l 6, 1618. The name s and d ate ofJohn's baptism matc h u p q uite well with t h e dat a o n the Weymouth, MAfami ly , an d it can be state d with a hig h degree of certaint y t h a t thi sis the famil y of our ances tor. The surnam e o f Po wys is probably derive dfrom the to w n of Po wys.

Thomas made his will Dec. 31, 1668, in which were ment i o n e d his wifeJane, his sons John, Wi l liam, and Thoma s , a n d d aughters, Anne Reynolds,Elizabeth Hatch, and Ja n e Dra ke , an d his gr an d children John Holbrook,Pete r Ho lbrook , a nd Wi lliam Holbrook.
