== Biography ==(from ''Ancestors of Adelbert P. Thayer, Florine Thayer McCray and Geo. Burton Thayer, children of John W. Thayer and Adaline Burton'' (see source below)):
CAPTAIN JOHN HOLBROOK, son of Thomas and Jane ((???)) Holbrook, was born at Broadway, England, in 1617, and came to America with his father in 1624, from Weymouth, Dorsetshire. He was baptised 6 April 1618 at St John Glastonbury.''Somerset Heritage Service; Taunton, Somerset, England; Somerset Parish Records, 1538-1914''; Reference Number: D\P\gla.j/2/1/1 [https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/60856/images/42886_1831115184_0798-00054?pId=3117055 $]
He married Sarah ((???)), and settled at Weymouth. She died January 14, 1643-4. For his second wife he married Elizabeth Stream, daughter of Elizabeth Stream, a widow. He lived in that part of Weymouth known as "Old Spain." In 1648 he was chosen selectman, and from 1651 to 1673, he was six times chosen representative. He was an enterprising business man and a large holder of real estate, owning land in Scituate and Braintree as well as at Weymouth. He also owned a house in Boston. In Braintree he owned the eastern portion, about 600 acres, of the tract of 3,000 acres granted by Boston in January, 1644, to the "Company of Undertakers for the Iron Works." In 1681 the new school-house was built on land bought of him at Braintree. He was prominent in military affairs, and active during the King Philip war. In 1664, as lieutenant of the local company, he was chosen to go upon some service in Captain Hudson's command, but sickness in his family prevented. In the spring of 1676 he was appointed captain of one of the companies raised and sent out to suppress the "insolencies" of the Indians, and "to range the woods towards Hassanamesit" (above the Merrimac). In a report to his superiors, made April 29, 1676, he complained that his company was not up to the quota, and unless the ranks could be filled, he asked to be dismissed. "I have neither drume nor collors which I desire that if you think it fitt to send me either houe-boye or drumpiter which is very requisitt." His second wife died June 25, 1688, and he then married Mary Loring, who survived him. He died at Weymouth, November 23, 1699, leaving a large estate to his numerous heirs."Thayer, George Burton, "Thayer and Burton Ancestry", (Hartford Conn: Press of the Plimpton MFG. Co. 1894), page 50-51.

=== Disputed Last Name of Third Wife ===Although the Thayer and Burton Ancestry says his third wife's name is Mary Loring, other sources say her name was Mary (Jacob), widow of John Otis. Robert Charles Anderson, in the Great Migration series, says her name is Mary (Jacob) Otis.Anderson, Robert Charles. ''Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, 1634-1635, volume III, G–H''. (Boston: NEHGS, 2003): page 352, [http://www.americanancestors.org/databases/great-migration-immigrants-to-new-england-1634-1635-volume-iii-g-h/image/?pageName=352&volumeId=7118&rId=235153735 biography of Thomas Holbrook]. Torrey also shows her Mary's last name as (Jacob) Otis, in a marriage that took place in Weymouth.[http://www.americanancestors.org/databases/torreys-new-england-marriages-to-1700/image/?pageName=772&volumeId=21175&rId=426890674 ''Torrey’s New England Marriages Prior to 1700''], (Online database.

=== Note regarding children ===:: The list of children that had been associated with John were all born at about the same time as John, and they were not his siblings as the mother was Sarah French.
