| Notes |
- From "Some Ancestors and Descendants of Samuel Converse, Jr." page 38-39: "Thomas Brigham came to New England n the "Susan & Ellen" in 1635, then aged 32. He was first in Watertown, Mass. In Cambridge, about 1638, he resided at the Easterly corner of Brattle and Ash Streets. he was Constable in 1630 and 1642, Selectman 1640-1647, and died 8 December 1653. He was proprietor of several hundred acres of land, a mill, cattle and many swine.
In his later years he seems not to have increased n wealth, but the reverse. The reason for this are unknown, unless it was the erection of a grist mill on the Charles River ruined his wind mill. Nevertheless, he left a handsome estate, including a house spacious for that period, and articles that were a luxury in that time, such as silver spooons and other utensils of silver, join chairs, join stools, cushions, damask cloth, livery table, feather beds, and the wardrobe of a New England gentleman. The inventory of his estate was L449-9-4, a handsom estate for his time. Governor Danforth was overseer and trustee under his will, and the distinguished Wm. Brattle of Boston assisted his executrix. Thomas Brigham married, about 1637, Mercy Hurd."
