Notizen bei Thomas Grant

Thomas was born about 1630 probably in Scotland. It is believed that Thomas fought with a army of Scotsmen who crossed the Scots border with Charles II in August 1651 in a final attempt by Charles to regain his throne by armed force. The army worked its way to the south of England, a few miles west of London. At Worcester, it was overwhelmed by the superior numbers, three to one, of Cromwell's forces in Sept. 1651. More than ten thousand Scots were taken prisoner in that battle. Two months later, 272 of these prisoners were sent to Boston in the ship John and Sarah, consigned to Thomas Kemble of Charlestown, Mass., as bound servants. Thus in 1652 Thomas came to America and became a bound servant for probably six, seven, or eight years. Many of these prisoners became iron workers in the Boston area.

In 1666 or 1667 he married Sarah Brook (or Brooks). Sarah was born 21-Jun-1646 in Scituate, Mass. the second of nine daughters of Gilbert Brook. Gilbert Brook left London for America in the ship Blessing in 1635, m. Elizabeth Symonds (b. 4-Sep-1628 Plymouth, Mass. d. 30-Jun-1695 Rehoboth, Mass.)

Thomas lived in Rumford, Mass., now known as Rumford, or East Providence, R. I. Sarah Grant, his wife, is recorded as having had employment sweeping out the Meeting House during the last six years of Thomas’s life, 1684-1690. The Meeting House built in 1674 had stocks for disciplinary purposes in the front yard. It was Congregational as well as governmental.

The occupation of Thomas Grant does not appear other than in the inference that he was probably an iron worker of some sort at the very beginning of his work life in America. In the Rehoboth Town Meeting Book 1643-1674, vol. I, p.18, there is a record of Thomas Grant's earmark. This may indicate a small farming operation or merely that he had a trade of some sort. The fact that his son Gilbert described himself in 1713 as a wheelwright may be an indication that that was the trade of Thomas. Thomas was allotted land in several land drawings made by Rehoboth Town Meetings, the first 22-Jun-1658. Thomas died 12-Jun-1690 in Rehoboth, Mass. At that time property was inherited by the oldest son.
