Narrative

Weymouth, moved to Walpole, Dedham farmer, housewright. Will 12/14/1688
From The Clapp Memorial: Thomas removed and settled in Dedham; he lived in that portion which was afterward incorporated as Walpole, the incorporation os which took place in 1724. He was a housewright by trade, and died previous to Jah. 29, 1691, when his Will was proved. The late Elisha Clapp, and Charles Clapp, of Bath, Me. had the impression (and so have it recorded) that Thomas died in 1703, and was the first person buried in the Walpose burying-ground, and this appears to have been the prevailing idea in Walpole; but it was his son Thomas how died in 1703-4. I have taken great pains in looking up this branch, and find that all who preceded me had omitted one family of children, those of Thomas 2d, of Dedham."
