CHAPTER II.
5. Thomas Holbrooke,2 resided at Scituate, Weymouth and Braintree : and was a man of enterprise and wealth. In 1653, 2d, 1mo., he bought of Abra-
ham Harding, a farm at Braintree, of 53 acres, with house and barn ; and Nov. 11, 1662, a tract (supposed to be now in Q.) left by Wm. Tyng to his heirs, Tho. Brattle, Tho. Shepard, Robert Wharton and Samuel Bradstreet, husbands of Tyng's 4 daus. Mar. 1, 1663, he purchased more land in Braintree, and like his brothers became the owner of much real estate. He last resided where Minot Thayer now lives, in B. or Q. He m. Joanna -, who survived him. He made his will July 25, 1695, giving to his son Peter, "all that estate of lands and meadows in Mendon, which he formerly purchased of his brother Wm. He named also Tho. as his eldest, and no other son. It is possible that the Samuel, No. 6, of II. Part and Chapt. IV. was his son and had died previous to the father's making his will. A more careful examination of the settlement of his estate in 1696, may verify the conjecture and make certain what I have put down as doubtful. In his will he requests his cousin [nephew ] Samuel Holbrooke, of Braintree, to see to the execution of it, but this nephew having in the meantime deceased, he, March 26, 1696, requested John Allen to act in his place with Nathaniel Wales, Capt. John witnessing it. Administration on his estate, Aug. 19, 1697, was granted his wid., Joanna, alias Jone, and his eldest son Tho. [Suff. Prob., xi. 325-7.] He had,
10. 4. I. Tho.,3 who " d. the aged and was buried at B., Dec. 20, 1728," m. De- borah Damon, and 2d, Mary -, who " was buried, Feb. 14, 1737-8 ; " II. Mary,3 mentioned in her father's will, m. -- Colburne ;

4. 10. Tho.,3 was received to the 2d Church in B., Mar. 26, 1721, and appears to have inherited the homestead at B., m. Deborah Damon, 1666, and 2d, Mary -- , who with her husband at B., 1694-5, consented to the marriage of their dau. Sarah, with Trustam Davis, of Hingham. He made his will, Oct. 16, 1728, which was proved, Jan. 9, '28-9, and administration granted bis wid. Mary, who d. 1737-8. [Suff. Prob., 27, 8.]
