    2VI. THOMAS (WILLIAM 1)-

    bpt. 6 Apr. 1634, Ugborough, Devon
    m.1. by 1666 daughter of Sergt. John MOSES
    2. 3 June 1689 Mary Browning (b.c.1610, m.1. John Pease (bpt. 20 Nov. Great Baddow, Essex, d. Edgartown, MA after 1677).

    Thomas may have been the same as the Thomas bpt. in Ugborough in 1634, however, there was another Thomas from Plymton who was married there, however, he is probably too old to be our Thomas. The Thomas of Ugborough seems to drop out of sight and no marriage or burial record has been found.

    Thomas was a mariner and lived in Portsmouth, settling on Moses family land on Sagamore Creek.

    John Moses had been granted land in Casco Bay by Cleeve which he added an endorsement on 25 May 1665 "to my two sons in law Joseph Walker and Thomas Crebar" and then on 3 July 1669 he leased the 100 acres on Casco Bay for 900 years to the two of them to be divided equally.(2) A record dated 13 Dec. 1721 shows that one half of the same property was conveyed by Alice Shortridge and son Richard as heirs of John Moses, she being the only surviving child of Thomas Creber. On 28 Nov. 1668 John Moses and his wife Ann, deeded to Thomas Creber, seaman, 12 acres on Sagamore Creek with an entail to "granson Moses Creber".(1)

    On the day of her marriage to Thomas, Mary disposed of her interests in the estate of John Pease and moved to Portsmouth where Thomas was the master of the ketch the "John and Mary" and was engaged in the coastwise trade.

    Issue-

  • 2I. ALICE- m. 16 May 1687 RICHARD SHORTRIDGE
  • II. Moses- probably d.s.p. after 1668
