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.
