He "He was a proprietor of Roxbury about 1636, and his wife Silence was a member of the church there. He removed to Boston. It was not until November 11, 1662, however, that he disposed of all his land at Roxbury. He was a mariner and sold the ship "Specdwell," in which many emigrants came to this country, to Thomas Witherly of Southwark, county Surrey, July 27, 1640. Then he appears to have gone to Scituate where, in 1640, he bought land of William Gilson. He bought house and lands there in 1642. He represented Scituate in the general court in 1643. He was elected deacon of the second church of Scituate. He was a juryman at Scituate in 1644, and took the oath of fidelity March 3, 1644-5. He was proposed for freeman and probably admitted 1650. In August and September. 1654, he bought two estates in Boston, adjoining each other, on the west side of Washington street, opposite the Old South church. The lots were two hundred and seventy feet deep. He lived there some of the time, though his children were taken to Scituate to be baptized, perhaps because he was a deacon there. All were baptized there except James. Isaac Robinson, unquestionably a son of Rev. John Robinson, pastor of the Pilgrims in Holland, settled in Scituate at the time that Thomas went there, and some believe that he also was a son of Rev. John Robinson, but proof is lacking.
He made his will March 17, 1665, and it was proved April 27, 1666. He made bequests to his wife; to children, Thomas, James, Joseph, and Mary; son John supposed to be in England; to brother Joseph Rocke. After his first wife Silence died, he married (second) Mary (Cogan) Woody, of Boston, in that town January 11, 1652-3. She was the widow of John Woody and the daughter of John Cogan, of Boston. She died October 26, 1661. He married (third) Elizabeth Sherman, widow of Richard Sherman. Her will was dated August 21, 1666, and was proved November 16, 1667. Thomas Robinson died March 23, 1665-6.

Samuel; merchant; died unmarried January 16, 1661-2, aged twenty-four years. 3. Josiah; apprenticed to Joseph Rocke, who was named in father's will; died April 17, 1660. 4.
