1. Thomas Ewer
"Respecting the family of Thomas Ewer, 2d, little is known. He removed to
Sandwich (Massachusetts) early. In 1659 he had a family and resided near Spring
Hill. He was a Quaker, and for refusing to take the oath of fidelity, and for
attending Quaker meetings, was fined L20,10, which with expenses amounted to
L25,8. In payment the Marshall seized a debt due him from Richard Chadwell for
Labor......"
In 1658 Thomas Ewer and most of the leading members of the Society of Friends in
Sandwich were disfranchised and ordered to leave the town. Ewer continued to
reside there till 1660. In 1661 he is spoken of as 'of Barnstable'. In that year
he bought a part of the farm and meadows on the west of the Crocker land, then
owned by Mr. Dimmock, originally laid out, I think, to Thomas Hatch. This small
farm his descendants have continued to own till recently."
Died at age 34.
