THOMAS2 (Thomas1), b. Feb. 28, 1666/7; d. July 21, 1723; m. about 1693, Elizabeth, dau. of John and Sarah Chadwick [b. May 8, 1673]. He moved from Weston to Watertown, 1715.


1. JONAS8 (Thomas2, Thomas1), b. Oct. 1, 1711; d. 1790; m. June 23, 1742, Susannah Wallis of Townsend [b. about 1726; d. 1796]. He is believed to have been the second settler in New Ipswich, coming in 1739, probably about one year after Abijah Foster, but it is said that his permanent residence did not begin until after his marriage, but that the three interven- ing winters were passed in Littleton, Mass., with his nearest New Ipswich neighbor, Benjamin Hoar. He settled upon lot IV: 2, S. R., the present site of the Country Club, upon the old country road. His first house, of a single story, was sup- plemented some years later by the two-storied house now standing; and the older portion, after standing unchanged for nearly a century, bore so decided marks of its long service that it was torn down, but was rebuilt on exactly the same spot and with no change of form, the original timbers and other materials being replaced as far as their condition per- mitted. He seems to have been a man who had the confidence of his fellow settlers, as his name appears upon some of the more responsible committees who attended to their common interests prior to the formal incorporation, and he was the first treasurer elected by the infant town. His name is not found upon any roll of Revolutionary soldiers, but according to tra- dition he was present at the surrender of Burgoyne and there lost a valuable horse. His title as captain evidently antedated his arrival in New Ipswich. Children :
