1033775, item #3. Thomas Brigham probably born in England 1603, died
Cambridge, Massachusetts, 8 December 1653 (the 8th day of the 10th
month, i.e. December in the old calendar, not October as recorded in
other references). Probably buried in the old Burial Ground on the
south side of Cambridge Common.
Probably married in 1637.
8 April 1635: Thomas Brigham, age 32, named on a passenger list
of those to be taken to New England on the Suzan and Ellen, under
command of Mr. Edward Payne, Master.
Place of residence unknown, but he owned 13 acres in Watertown, on
the boundary of Newtown (later Cambridge), a village rather closer to
his property. This is now partially occupied by Radcliffe College at
the intersection of Brattle Street and Ash Street. In due course
additional land grants were received. Other land transactions exist
for Thomas Brigham including 180 acres in Shaw Shine, an area set off
from Cambridge in 1655 and later incorporated as Billerica.
18 April 1637: Made Freeman by General Court of the Massachusetts
Bay Company.
1 October 1639: Became Constable and joined with the Selectmen of
the town. Reappointed 8 November 1642.
8 June 1646 and 4 November 1646: Thomas Brigham 7 shillings 6
pence and 4 shillings, respectively, for violation of laws regarding
maintenance of hogs and oxen. Also 11 October 1647 and 12 January
1651 again fined. (Most of villagers were involved in violations.)
Will dated 7 December 1653, proved 3 October 1654 at County Court
held in Cambridge. Heirs include his wife (Mercy Brigham), eldest
son Thomas and four other children: John, Mary, Hannah, and Samuell.
Among overseers of the will is named William Towne. Value of estate
449 pounds 4 shillings 9 pence. The failure to record a deed of sale
of Thomas's Watertown property lead to a lawsuit by four surviving
children in 1695 to reclaim ownership.

Shepherd, preacher at Buttercrambe, Yorkshire, guided a party of
