Notities over Thomas Brigham

Left London on 4/18/1635 on the Ship Susan and Ellen.

Thomas Brigham came from England to New England in 1635, on the ship Susan and Ellen and became a freeman April 18, 1636. He resided for a time in Cambridge, MA, at the corner of Brattle and Ash Streets, later moving to Ipswich, where he as listed as constable in 1639 and 1642. He married Mercy Hurd, and they had five children, including Samuel. Mercy who survived Thomas and later remarried Edmund Rice of Sudbury and even later William Hunt of Concord.

1. Thomas Brigham,2 2d, on the marriage of his mother to Edmund Rice, seems with his brothers and sister to have continued with her. On attaining his majority he purchased of his father-in-law for œ30 a town right in Marlboro' "of 24 acres, with the frame of a dwelling house thereon, with all the privileges of the town commons and further addition of allotments to be made thereto." And, Aug. 28, 1665, having completed payment for the same, he received a deed from the executors of Rice. This was a most fortunate purchase. It has advantageously affected the circumstances o f thousands of his descendants to this day: For it constituted him an extensive proprietor of the lands of what are now four townships, mostly of the altered mica and hornblend slate formation, the richest of extent in Massachusetts, USA
on which agriculture can be profitably pursued. In 1686 he was one
of a company to purchase 6,000 acres of the Indians situated near
Marlb., and afterwards "annexed to her." This further enlarged his
claim to wild lands, and, as fast as he and his sons increased in ability to occupy them, they drew lots, and mostly in the S. W. part of what is now Marlboro', and in those portions of Northboro' and Westboro' which are contiguous.
He settled in the S. W. part of the town, on what is now called the Warren Brigham farm, on the south road to Northboro'. He drew 63 acres at one division, 39 of which was on the side of Crane Hill, on a path from his house to Crane Ordinary. The house which he built after Philip's war, and which was subsequently used as a garrison, is yet standing; and even the chair in which he expired is in the neighborhood, in the possession of one of his descendants, Mrs. Lewis Ames. He was probably one of the principal citizens of the town, but in what capacities he served her or the church cannot be ascertained, owing to the loss of records. He made his will April 17, 1716, which was proved Jan. 2, 1717. In this he gave to David and Gershom all his lands situated on the W. side of Assabet River [S. branch] and other lands near them; and to Nathan and Jona. in equal shares all that part of the Eaton Farm on the E. side of this stream. To Elnathan, whom he had previously settled on a part of this Farm, he gave more land, and made Nathan, Jonathan and Gershom his executors. To each son he had probably before conveyed tracts for farms on which they had long been settled; and he must have been an extensive land owner. How many farms, mineralogically the richest in New England, have long been inherited from him! He had 5 sons, and his two brothers had 9, of whom 8 lived to have families in the same community; and yet four times the number of his descendants have been traced. To what is this attributable, except to his inheriting the largest portion of their father's estate, and seizing lands on a narrow strip of mica slate? Samuel secured lands partly upon it, and his seed remains. John for himself and sons went down entirely off of it, and who can report his race? If they ever turn up in a series of generations, in one place, it will probably be where they have ascended to the formation which their fathers left, or to a newer one.

* HUBBARD HAMMOND BRIGHAM, M.D.
*'''Thomas Brigham (1), the pioneer ancestor of the Brigham family and of Dr. Hubbard Hammon Brigham, of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, was undoubtedly an Englishman by birth. The name Brigham is from the Saxon brigg (bridge) and ham (house). There is a Manor of the name in county Cumberland, adjoining Scotland, and in ancient days part of Scotland. They Barony from which the family name is derived is now generally called by another name, Cockermouth. The old castle was one of the strongest in its day. It was built largely of material taken from an olf Roman castle in the vicinity. As late as 1648 it was garrisoned and stood siege for a month. After it was captured it was nearly destroyed, but at last accounts a small part was still habitable. From this Manor the English and American Brighams get their names, and all probably are descended from the early Brighams of this place.
*''' Thomas Brigham embarked at London for New England, April 18, 1635, in the ship "Susan and Ellen," Edwary Pyne, master. No other of the same name is known to have embarked for the American colonies. He settled in Watertown. In 1637 he had a fourteen acre lot there, bought of John Doggett. It was situated in a part later annexed to Cambridge. He built his house in Cambridge on a lot containing three acres and a half. His neighbors were Joseph, Isaac and Simon Crosby. His home was about two-thirds of a mile from Harvard College, and at one point abutted on Charles river. He resided there until 1648. He was admitted a freeman April 18, 1637. He was one of the leading citizens, was selectman in 1640, 1642, and 1647, and was a constable in 1639 and 1642. He made a specialty on his farm of raising hogs, and in 1647 owned a third of all the swine in the town. He was fined for letting his hogs get away and run at large. He owned a wind mill in which corn was ground.
*''' He died December 8, 1653. His will was dated December 7, 1653-4, and was proved October 3, 1654. He married (first) Mercy Hurd, who is said to have come with her sister alone from England owing to religious difference from which they suffered annoyance and persecution at home. After the death of Mr. Brigham she married (second), March 1, 1655, Edmund Rice, of Sudbury, and Marlboro, ancestor of a notable Worcester family, by whom she had two daughters. (See Rice Sketch). He died 1663, and she married (third) William Hunt, of Marlboro, 1664. He died 1667, and she died December 23, 1693, after being in her third widowhood a period of twenty-six years. The children of Thomas and Mercy (Hurd) Brigham were: Mary, born probably at Watertown; Thomas, see forward; John, March 9, 1644, died September 16, 1728, aged eighty-four years; Hannah, March 9, 1649, married Samuel Wells; Samuel, born January 12, 1652-3, died July 24, 1713.

Thomas came from England on the "Susan and Ellen" in 1635 along with his cousin Ann Crosby, her husband Simon, and their infant son Thomas. He settled in what is now Cambridge. His house was located by the Charles River by what is now Brattle Street. He and his wife Mercy had 5 children Mary, Thomas, John, Hannah and Samuel. After his dead his wife remarried twice and outlived them both while settling Sudbury and Marlborough.

Ref: W. I. Tyler Brigham 1603-1653THOMAS6 BRIGHAM, (JOHN5 BRIGHAM, THOMAS4 BRIGHAM, THOMAS3 BIGHAM, THOMAS2 BRIGHAM, THOMAS1 BRIGHAM)

THOMAS BRIGHAM, born probably in England in 1603; died in Cambridge, Mass., 8 Dec., 1653; married, probably in 1637, Mercy Hurd, born probably in England; died in Marlboro, Mass, 28 Dec 1698.

Governor Winthrop had left a graphic narrative of sixty-four days shipboard coming hither from old England in 1630. The Rev. Richard Mather also kept a journal of his potage, in 1635, which occupied twelve weeks and two days from taking ship at Bristol in the landing at Boston These stories present a vivid picture of the perils and privations attending the long voyage Thomas Brigham encountered a little earlier in the latter season, from the somewhat more remote port of London. He must have first set foot on the New England shore early in June, for in one of the few passenger lists of the time which have escaped loss or destruction we read:

VIII April 1655. This under written are in he transported in New England imbarqued in the Susan and Ellen, Edward Payne Mr. (Master). The p’ties have brought certificates from ya Ministers and Justice of the peace y’ they are no subsidy men; and are conformable in y’ orders and discipline of the Church of England.

There is convincing reason to believe (Mr. Morse, not-with-standing), in the old Burial Ground on the south side of the Cambridge Common, a few minutes’ walk from his mansion; however no stone remains to mark the spot. Only one of the existing stones records a death as early us 1653, that of don Erinton, who died two days after Thomas. The stone next to age is ten years later, and commemorates Elizabeth Cotter, sister-in-law Mercy (Hurd) Brigham sister, if Mr. Morse’s supposition is correct.

The estate and will of Thomas Brigham, was completed on, The 10; of the 12 month of 1653. Neither of his deeds were recorded until 31 years later, and by some mischance the authority to make these sales which the overseer had obtained from the General Court was cot properly entered until 30 years after making of the deeds, when a second application was made and receive approval from the General Court. Meanwhile in 1681 the children of Thomas Brigham, now about 30 and 40 years of age, sold to two pieces the 10 acres their father had owned to in Rocky meadows, and also another 10 acres of his meadow swamp land.

Thomas Brigham married probably in 1637 his wife Mercy, but of this date there is no record. We know she must have been a woman of unusual strength, force and determination. The Rev. Abner Morse says, on the authority of tradition, that her maiden name was Mercy Hurd that she was 10 or 15 years younger than her husband, and that, persecuted in England for nonconformity, she came to New England with her sister, who married William (?) Cutter. Tradition should be taken as a clue to the truth rather than truth itself, for investigation where practicable is likely to find the basis of truth small in tradition a century old. The Cutter Genealogy states that when William Cutter returned to England, probably he was a bachelor.

Mercy, Hurd, Brigham, Rice, Hunt; died in Marlboro, 28 Dec., 1668, after a third widowhood of 26 years. During this period she saw two bloody Indian wars. The 26th of March 1676, the Marlboro people were assembled in their meeting house for worship when the alarm was sounded and they barely reached the garrison house in time to find safety from the attacking Indians, who burned houses and barns and destroyed orchards and cattle. The people shortly retreated to the towns to the eastward, where they remained for some months until peace was assured.

Ref: W. I. Tyler Brigham 1603-1653

It is believed that, when Mercy Brigham married Edmund Rice and came to Marlboro, they lived in the vicinity of the old Ephraim Brigham house on Clover Hill, and there the Brigham boys, Thomas, John and Samuel, and their sisters, Mary and Hannah, had their first home in Marlboro.

He bought of his father-in-law or step-father, as we now call it, Edmund Rice, a town right when he was of age. He paid thirty pounds for this valuable right to shares of the common land in Marlboro. The deed was given by Edmund Rice's executors, August 28, 1665. Through this purchase he became the ower of extensive tracts located in four of the richest farming towns of Massachusetts.

He settled in the southwest part of Marlboro, known in later years as Warren Brigham's farm, on the south road to Northboro. His house built not long after King Philip's war is now or was lately standing. It was strongly built and used as a garrison house in time of Indian wars. Thomas Brigham was a leading citizen in his day. His will was made April 17, 1716, and proved January 2, 1717. He gave his sons, David and Gershom Brigham, all his lands on the west side of the Assabet river and other lands near them.
