Thomas was a farmer, and lived in the house his father bought for him of Col. Byfield. That house was set off as a part of his share in the division of his father's estate. He also had 19 acres of land west of Spice Brook; 13 acres bounded by the east of his brother Joshua's land; 4 acres at Stop River, next north of Wrentham line; two pieces of meadow, &c. The divison of his father's estate was not made until 1703, which was the period at which his youngest son Samuel reached the age of 21 years. Thomas was dead before the documents relating to the division were signed; his widow was present, and his son Thomas signed them. After the decease of Thomas, his widow married a Mr. Jennery about 1709 ; until that time the children had probably been under her care; her son Thomas then took charge of their property.
