TOMBLEN. The ancestors of Oren A. Tomblen were undoubtedly of those who came from England about 1630, and later. Savage says Edward Tomblen of Lynn came, no doubt, in the fleet with Winthrop ; admitted freeman, 1631; repre- sentative at the first court of deputies, 1634, and the next year "clerk of the writs." 2d, Edward, of Lynn, perhaps son, perhaps nephew, of the preceding, came in the " Susan and Ellen," in 1635, but went home again, lived in London, a merchant ; bought of Joseph Belknap, Jan. 31, 1649, his estate called Blackbush right, near Hampton Court. 3d, Timothy of Lynn, freeman, Mar. 4, 1633, representative in almost every court from 1635 to 1644. 4th, Benjamin, at Lynn, came in the " Su- san and Ellen " in 1635, aged IS, with another Edward, aged 30, supposed to be brothers, and likely to be sons of either the first Edward or his brother. 5th, John of Boston, m.

TUCKER, Robert, b. Dorsetshire, England, d. in Milton, Mass., 1682, aged 80. Most of the families by the name of Tucker residing in this vicinity are the descendants of this Robert Tucker, who settled in Weymouth about 1635, where he had nine children, viz. : Sarah, b. 1639; James, b. 1640; Joseph, b. 1643; Elizabeth, b. 1644; Benjamin, b. 1646; Ephraim, b. 1652; Manasseh, b. 1654; Rebecca ; and Mary. He removed to Milton about 1662, and purchased a tract of land still known as " Brush Hill," where " his character and education exercised an important influ- ence for many years." In his will, dated Mar. 7, 1681, he speaks of his "new house," indicating that he built a house not long before. This is still standing on its original site, and, in 1868, was occupied by some of his descendants. Ephraim Tucker, son of Robert, had a son Ephraim, who lived on Brush Hill until 1745, when he removed to Pomfret, Ct., where he d. Jan. 26, 1774. His descendants are represented in North Brookfield in the person of Lyman Tucker. Benjamin, son of Robert, m. Ann, daughter of Edward Payson of Dorchester, and settled in Roxbury, where he had eleven children, viz. : Benjamin, b. 1670; Ann, b. 1673; Jonathan, b. 1675; Ephraim, b. 1677; Eben, b. 1679; Mary, b. 1682; Edward, b. 1684; Joseph, b. 1686; Elizabeth, b. 1688; Sarah, b. 1696; Ann, b. 1699. He was one of the original proprietors of the town of Spencer.
He was also a proprietor in the town of Woodstock, Ct., at the laying out of that town, which was then called New Roxbury, and considered a part of Worcester County.
The second Benjamin had a son Samuel, b. July 5, 1716, who settled in Spencer, and was the ancestor of most of the families by the name of Tucker who originated there.
Joseph, sixth son of Benjamin, with several others, bought land in the south part of the so called " Mash Mugget Purchase," now Pomfret, Ct., and was the first of the name to settle in that vicinity. He also inherited land there in the settlement of his father's estate. His name appears in connection with twenty-two others in the list of those who founded the church, May 3, 1713. He had a son Joseph, who m. Aug. 6, 1744, Elizabeth Gassett, and d. June 13, 1745, at the siege of Louisburg, Cape Breton Island, leaving an infant son Ephraim, b. May 12, 1745, who inherited a part of the estate of his grandfather Joseph, as shown by the will of the latter. Ephraim m. May 12, 1767, Mehitable, daughter of David Chandler of Pomfret. They had four sons and three daughters. The sons were, Walter, b. Apr. 2, 1770 ; John, b. June 15, 1776; Calvin (late of North Brookfield), b. Mar. 15, 17So 1; Ephraim, b. Aug. 28, 1782. The father never lived in North Brookfield, but in Apr. 1795, he bought of Henry Knapp, the place now (1879) owned by Mr. George Jenks, and his sons Walter and Ephraim lived there for some years. The place was sold Jan. 20, 1809, to Beza Soule, a maker of gravestones, for $433-34. At that time it had a house, barn, and blacksmith's shop standing on it.
