Thomas HOLBROOK

                         From Ancestral File (TM), data as of 5 JAN 1998.
   Notes: Depositions made him at three different times all agree in fixiing 1594 as the year of his birth. His residence was given in 1634 as Broadway, Somerset, England, in the hundred of Norton-Ferris, 17 miles east of Glastonbury and about four miles west of H Minster, Somerset, England. Thomas Holbrook and his family sailed with the Joseph Hull Company 20 Mar 1634/1635 from Weymouth, Dorset, England on the "Mary Gould" with Edward Cuttanc as master. They landed at Dorchester, Massachusetts 7 Jun 1635 and stayed there only a few days. They settled in the northern part of Weymouth on the Tidewater, a locality which has long born the name of "Old Spain" where he built a house. It is clear he was about forty when he came. His name was first found in 1640 immediately after the earliest preserved records began.
