Thomas lived in Sutton, Bedfordshire before coming to Salem, MA on the Talbot in June 1629 as an employee of the Massachusetts Bay Company with his sister Joan and her husband Richard Clayton as well as with his children.(1) At the Court of Assistants in London 12 Mar. 1629 Richard Claydon applied to transport himself and his family to New England:

Thomas of Kittery, Maine was sued for debt by William Hilton 15 March 1649/0 for £4/8/4. He was sued again in 1651 for trespassing by Robert Mendum.

He was one the Grand Jury in 1661, 1662, and 1663. He and his wife Ann were absent from meeting in July 1669 and again in 1670. Thomas received a grant in Kittery in 1679 and signed the petition for direct government by Massachusetts.

"June 29, 1654

Wee present Thomas Hunsscome and Mary Batchelder the wife of Mr. Batcheller for frequently comeing togeather, after sufficient warneing given them by some of the Graynd Jurie... Tho: Hunescome and Mary Batcheller do bind them selves In a bond of 20 li not to come frequently or unseasonably togeather or suspitiously, upon the forfeiture thereof.

This bond was acknowledged by them before the Court by whome they are with an Admonition Sett free paiing 10s. to the officers."(1)

Mary Batchelder was quite notorious in the area. Her husband was the Rev. Stephen Batchelder who was in his 80's at this time. Mary was only in her late 20's and was evidently tired of living with an old man for besides her relationship with Thomas she was convicted of adultery with George Rogers (see Rogers).(2)

In 1683 he testified in another court case and stated that he was 60 years old. In 1695 Ann was referred to as "Goody Hanscom" which was a common reference to a woman whose husband was still alive. In 1697 Ann was made the administratrix of her son John's estate. Thomas' estate was divided in 1719. In 1724 his grandson Thomas was put in possession of half the estate to "care for his ancient grandmother".

Thomas' daughter Alice was another "black sheep" in the family. In 1690 it became quite obvious that Alice, who was unmarried, was "with child". Because of this fact she was routinely questioned by the authorities: "She then gave in testimony that one John Mederille was the father of it and that no other person had ever anything to do with her besides him... he, being there present at the time of his accusation, did deny it, yet... if she would swear that he was the father of it, he would marry her and thereupon did marry her..."

However, the plot thickened: "deposition of Joshua Downing aged forty nine years... testified and saith that some time after Alice Medrel was brought a bed with a black child, this deponant being at the house of Mr. John Shapleigh, he heard Major Hooke examine Alice Medrel (as to) whose child that black child was. Alice Medrel said it was one William... Major Hooke asked her which William. Mr. Shapleigh replied, it is our Black Will she means. Major Hooke asked her whether it was Black Will's. She answered yes sir."(3)

Needless to say, John Metherell disappeared and never returned.

Black Will, alias William Black, was Major Shapleigh's slave and was freed by him in 1701 and was granted 100 acres in Kittery in 1696 while still a slave. A mulatto child by the name of Jonathan was living with Major Hooke in 1693. He was later known as "Black Will Jr." and was living with a white girl, Elizabeth Turbet, as marriage was forbidden because he was a mulatto. They moved to Cape Newagen Island, off Harpswell, where their son, William Black III, was living in 1760.

Alice did not learn from her mistakes as she was pregnant again in July 1693 and was charged with "bastardy". No father was ever named.

In 1695 she was pregnant again and local gossip pointed the finger at Jacob Remick as being the father. His wife, Mary, became jealous and visited Alice at the Hanscom home where she and her illegitamate children were staying: "An Hanskom aged 49 years or thereabouts, doth testify and say that on the last of May or thereabouts (1695), she... saw a brick bat come in and she could see nobody but Mary Remick and she asked Mary Remick what was the reason she had the brickbat, but she was so much stunned to see it that she could not tell what answer she made. But Alice Madrell did say that the brickbat did hit her in the stomach. Goody Hanskom doth further say that she saw Mary Remick push very vehemently against her door and she saw the door give way. And further she doth say this was not the first time they had fousted for she saw them both... fight and pull on the other several times before this."(4)

However: "Alice Metherill made Oath in Court that Jno Thomson of Kittery is the father of that respective bastard Child which she hath lately brought forth and no other man."(5)

"Alice Metherill being brought before this Court for having a Bastard child and it being aggravated by severall Circumstances, It is ordered by this Court that she be whipped 10 stripes upon the naked back and pay fees 15s or to pay five pounds to his Majestie & fees and to stand Committed untill the Judgment be answered."(6)

"John Thomson being brought before this Court by Recognizance for being the reputed father of a bastard child which Alice Metherill charges him with, it is ordered by this Court that the said Thomson shall pay towards the maintainance of the Child to Alice Metherill 2s 6d per week to be paid monthly in money from the time of the childs birth, being brought forth the 21st of August, During the Courts pleasure and to pay fees 11s 6d and to stand Committed till he bring sufficient sureties for his true performance thereof."(7)

Mary Remick was publicly admonished for "Scolding and fighting" and was ordered to pay 6/ in fees.

John Thompson filed a suit against Alice but, it was not successful due to some of the adverse testimony: "Sarah Sanders aged 30 years or thereabouts, sayeth that living at Mr. Curtises garrison where John Thompson and Alice Mederill were committed to the keeping of Mr. Curtis, I did observe that the said Thompson was verie kind to the said Alice Mederill in lending her his candle to see to go to bed: and anything she asked him for and carried it verie kindly to her..."(8)

The court found in favor of the defendant and John was to pay the costs of the suit, 16/6.

Alice told Elizabeth Staples that several years earlier Peter Wittum had read her fortune and predicted that she would be: "so wicked that she should deal almost in witchcraft & that she should mix seed with another nation." He then told her that if she lived beyond age 24 she would be: "very good and live above her brothers".(9)

Alice (age 24) was listed as being a town charge along with her children in Oct. 1695 and nothing further is known of her.

Alice's brother John was also not much good:

"A Recognizance exhibited by Francis Hooke, Esq. of Joseph Hill, Samuell Hill, Ephraim Tibbetts, John Hanscomb, for coming in Indian Habbits, and firing a Gun, to frighten William Mansey (Munsey) and family out of his house, whereby they toke Possession.... Joseph and Samuell Hill ordered to pay fine of 20 shillings each. Ephraim Tibbetts and John Hanscomb, each of them, ordered to pay 10 shillings, together with Costs and Court Fees" 12 Dec. 1688.(10)

William Munsey was not pleased with the punishment given out to the four youths and insulted Capt. Hooke who had him arrested for "threathening words" and sentenced him to sit in the stocks.

And then there was Job. "Wee present Job Hanscom for being Drunk & Fighting & for Prophane Swareing." 6 Oct. 1713(11)

"Job Hanscom appearing to answer his Several presentments for being drunk, for fighting & prophane swareing, its considered by the Court that he pay a fine of Seven Shillings to the poor of Kittery and fees of Court, 1 lb:1 s:6 d, & Stands Committed."(12)

"Job Hanscom appeared to answer the Presentment by the Grand Jury for prophane swearing about the last of November last and, confessing the Fact; Ordered that he pay a fine to the use of the poor of the Town of Kittery of Five Shillings and fees of Court Thirty six shillings, and Stand Committed till performed." Apr. 1734(13).

d.c.1771

Thomas was granted the administration of his grandfather Hanscom's estate in 1713 and lived on the homestead until it was divided in 1719. He owned land in Kittery in 1712 and received a grant in the final division of common lands 11 Feb. 1744/5.

"At a meeting of ye Military officers of ye town of Kittery together with ye Selectmen of sd Town, Sept. 15th & 17th, 1722, for ye Ordering what houses be made Defencible in sd town by virtue of An Act of ye Governmt, passed at their Session ye 7th day of Augst, 1722- Ordered that ye several houses following be made Defencible, Vizt;... 12. David Libby Junr. And that ye Inhab & familys from Jas Staples to Thomas Hanscoms Inclusively Lodge therein."(1)

When Thomas' father died in 1713 there was a struggle over the administration of the estate between Thomas and his step-mother Tamsen. Thomas brought out many of the other Hanscom heirs and ended up possessing a major portion of the property. The major players in this dispute were Tamsen and her three daughters Mary and Martha Hanscom, and Elizabeth Sheares.

"York Ss. Kittery July the 21st 1721
The Information of Thomas Hanscom in behalfe of our Soveraign Lord the King Vizt,

He Seing Eliza: Shears and Martha Hanscom this day among his Oats he went to them and bid them go out for that they Spoiled the Oats and Distroyed his Labour. They replyed they would not but Eliza: Shears sd She would tread or trample them down in Spite of him and imediately Eliza: Shears went away & Said She would Call her mother. Accordingly Tamsin Hanscom Came with Eliza: Shears and mary Hanscom. The sd Tamsin Came violently at him and laid hands on him; he got Clear of her. She took up a Stick and Came at him again and he took the Stick from her. She then called him red headed Divell and Said She would Knock his Damn'd brains out, then took up another Stick and Came at him again Saing She would knock his devillish Cursed brains out and Strock him Several blows on the head and Shoulders with the Stick. he took that Stick from her. She then Laid Violent hands on again, strok him Severall blows and tore his Shurt. he was then obliged to throw her on the Ground to get clear of her again but while She had hold of him Eliza: Shears and Mary Hanscom Called to their Mother Saying Kill him, kill him, knock his brains out, and as Soon as he was Clear from her, Eliza. Shears & Mary Said She would kill him if htere ware no more Divills upon Earth. Eliza: Shears Came with a great Stone and was throwing of it at him but he laid hold of her hand and threw her on the ground and then Escaped from them. These proceedings puts the sd Thomas Hanscom and his family as he Saith in very great fear & Terrour and Tends to the Loss of his Life and Estate If not prevented.

Taiken upon Oath July 21st: 1721
Thomas Hanscom"(2)

Mary Hanscom was then charged with assault but, constable John Rogers found her "on her bed", unable to get up and therefore she was not prosecuted. She was, however, bailed the same day by her uncle, Richard Gowell Jr. who posted a £10 bond. Elizabeth Sheares was arrested later and was also bailed by Richard. Mary and Elizabeth were finally tried and both were found guilty of "violently assaulting and threatening" Thomas. Mary paid a fine of 23/ and Elizabeth 18/6. Tamsen then retaliated in April 1722 by filing an assault charge on Thomas.

"The Deposition of Eliza Allen of full age Testifyeth & Saith That on the twenty first Day of July last past the Deponant Elisabeth Allen and Martha Hanscom her Sister went into there Mother Tameson Hascoms feild in Kittery in the County of Yourk to geather Some pees that there Mother had Sowed there and while they were there gathering pease Thomas hanscom Came to the fence of sd feild and Caled out you Cursed Impudent devils what do you do there, the Deponant answered him, gathering pease. The sd Thomas Hanscom bid them goe out and if they presumed or offered to gather any there he would pull them all up, and threatened and Said he would kik her dam'd ars. The Deponant told him she would go in and tell her Mother. Then the sd Thomas Hanscom answered if she did her Mother should not gather any nither. Upon which after many ill words from him the Deponant Called her mother who Came into the feild where the sd Thos Hanscom was, and asked him why he did so. He told her She Should not gather any nither, and then the sd Thos Hanscom took her mother by violence & lifted her Clear of the ground and threw her athwart the roots of a great Stump Upon which she Cryed out, he hath broak my back and Could not get up. The Deponant and the rest of her Dauters were forced to help her up and Carry to her house & put her to bead, and that she was forced to keep her bead by reason of the aforsd hurt she then recived not being able to get up and goe about in five or six weeks at least and was forced to be at the charge of a doctor-- vizt Thomas Packer Esq who Came and bleeded her and gave Medicences and administered to her all the afforesd time. And further saith the sd Thomas Hanscom Called his Sister Mary many Ill names, as bad as Could be Invented.

York Ss 3rd April 1722. Sworn in Court Attest Wm. Pepperell Clerk."(3)

"Mary Morrell of full age testifieth and Saith that She Saw Thomas Hanscom Close in with her Mother Tameson Hanscom at the Time and place afforesd. Whether he tript up her heels or how he threw her down She Cannot well tell but She Saw her mother lifted Cleare of the ground by him and thrown down athwort the roots of a great Stump & whare upon her Mother Cryed out he hath broak my back upon which I the deponant ran to my mothers assistance and then he left of and from her run and fell fowl of the affore sd Deponant Elisabeth Allen, and this Deponant help'd her Mother up with her Sisters assistance She not being able to get up, and Carreyed her into the house and put her to bed whare her Mother lay five or Six weeks under the Doctors hands before she was able to go about againe.

York Ss 3d April: 1722 Sworn in Court Attest Wm. Pepperell Clerk."(4)

Thomas was tried and found liable for injuries sustained by his step-mother and she was awarded £5 damages.

Thomas did not stop there as he then charged Elizabeth and Mary with perjury.

"Eliza: Allen, the wife of John Allen, and Mary Morrell, the wife of John Morrell, being bound over to this Court by Joseph Hammond Esq'r, one of His Maj'tys Justices of the Peace for said County, upon an information or Comp'lt of Thomas Hanscom in behalfe of our Sovereign Lord the King, for that they are vehemently Suspected to have Sworn falsely as per the process and record appears... bail 50 (pounds) each... Thomas (files) bond of 10 pounds to prosecute. July 3, 1722."(5)

"Their bonds continued to this Court, Upon Suspicion of Perjury... the papers being delivered to the Grand inquest, and nothing appearing Sufficient to convict them, Its considered by the Court that (Elizabeth Allen and Mary Morrell) pay Fees of Court £4/5/10d, and be Acquitted. April 2, 1723."(6)

Thomas' temper led him to more problems in the future:

"Thomas Hanscomb, yeoman, Thomas Hanscom Jr., labourer, and Elisha Hanscomb, labourer, all of Kittery... appearing to answer to an inditement of the Grand Jury... with force and arms, viz swords, staves and clubs riotously and unlawfully assembled and gathered themselves together to disturb the peace... and being so assembled then and there in manner aforesaid, made an assault upon one Joseph Hammond of Kittery... and him beat, wounded and evilly treated and then and there, and stop the said Joseph Hammond in his passage and travel with his cattle in and through a lawfull way which he then had occupation to use. July 1741."(7)

Thomas and his sons Thomas Jr. and Elisha were found guilty of assault and were fined 5/ plus the costs of court 6/15/3.
