Thomas, Alice, and their son Abraham are mentioned in deed relating to the Grammar school at Wotton-under-Edge, showing that they lived in a house leased from the school. The deed itself transfers the lease to a tailor Timothy Aldridge on August 30, 1635.[8]
Author not given Thomas Kimberly in England, The American Genealogist (The American Genealogist, Barrington, RI, 1952) : Volume 28, Pages 85-86, citing Gloucestersher Records Office (reference, G.R.O./D 73/2)
The first record of 'Thomas' Kimberly in America is at Dorchester, Mass., in 1638, though the "Kemmerly" at Dorchester in February 1635/6 is probably him too. He then settled in and was a founder at New Haven in 1639. It's unknown if Alice came with Thomas, or was sent for afterwards. Considering that their daughter Mary was likely born about 1637, she probably came with Thomas to Dorchester before then.
The Kimberlys by William A Brehm, Jr and Thomas H Sutter, 1989
Thomas, the colonist, lived to the age of almost 68 years; about 33 years prior to emigrating and 35 years in Colonial New England. He was elected to the position of Marshal of New Haven in 1643 and continued in that position until 1661. William Preston succeeded him as keeper of the pound in 1645. Preston lived across the street in New Haven, came to Dorchester at the same time as the Kimberlys and was assigned land in the same marsh there. He died in 1647 leaving Mary his widow and at least five children, Joseph, Hackeliah, Hannah, and two other sons. Hannah became the wife of Thomas' eldest son Abraham, and Joseph and Hackeliah were remembered in Thomas' will.
In 1649, Thomas bought the house, barn and homelot of Richard Perry who was returning to England. This move, while only of one block, placed the Kimberlys between the Marshall and the Theophilus Eatons, and across the street from the Davenports, all key leaders in New Haven society. In 1653, New Haven attracted John Bowers, the schoolmaster from Plymouth, and a Harvard graduate, to teach their children. Bowers, as part of his compensation, lived with the Kimberlys from 1653-1655. Thomas' first wife, Alice, died in 1659 in New Haven. He was married a second time to Mary Preston, widow of William Preston, sometime between April 1660 and August 1661. Thomas served as a Selectman (member of town board) in 1651, 1663 and 1664.
In 1668, Thomas sold his New Haven house to Abraham Dickerman and moved to Stratford, a town about 12 miles southwest of New Haven. There he died in 1672.
