307. Thomas1 Lumbert;61 born at England; died after 1663.61
He "The history of this family is given in a pamphlet by Amos Otis of Barnstable, and also in the Benjamin Families of Columbia County, New York, by E. B. Baker. The accounts do not agree. For example, Baker makes Bernard Lombard a brother of Thomas, the other a son. This, it is true, is not very material in deciphering the alliance with the Benjamins. Thomas Lombard or Lumbart or Lambert was born about 1590 or earlier, came to America in the Mary and John to Dorchester about 1630; removed to Scituate, then to Barnstable, where he was one of the earliest settlers. His will is of date 23 March, 1662, when his daughter Jemima was dead. His children were: Bernard?, Jemima, Joshua, Caleb, Margaret, Joseph, 1638; Jedediah, 1640; Benjamin, 26 August, 1642, died 1725; Margaret, married 22 October, 1648, Ed. Coleman.
Bernard came to Barnstable in 1639; he was one of seven inhabitants called Mr. in 1664. The relationship with the Clarks is shown by his testimony given at the age of sixty, 28 December, 1668. He says that William Clark, who appears to have died in Yarmouth 7 December, 1668, without children, probably unmarried, gave by nuncupative will his property to Joseph Benjamin. Benjamin's second wife, Sarah Clark, was doubtless a niece of William Clark's as well as of the Lamberts. Thomas Lambert was freeman 18 May, 1631, said to have been then about fifty. His house in Barnstable, built about 1639, is called a large one.
The Benjamins, Eddys, Lombards, and Branches were probably more or less acquainted in England. The Lombards are said to have come from Tenterden, Kent. "218

"A correction is necessary in the Barnstable record, which states that Isaac Isham married Thankful Lumbert. It must be remembered that this record is a copy of the original record, made about 1736, in which other errors have been discovered. The emendation is supported by the following facts. Barnstable records have the marriage Sept 16, 1715, of Edward Coleman and Thankful Lumbert and reveal no other Thankful Lumbert save that one. The will of Joshua Lumbert, Proved Nov 2, 1724, names daughter Abigail Isham. The will of Isaac Isham, dated March 11, 1754, mentions wife Abigail. The emendation therefore seems to be justified " in 1724.89
