THOMAS WINCOLL
ORIGIN: Unknown MIGRATION: 1632 FIRST RESIDENCE: Cambridge REMOVES: Watertown OCCUPATION: Inn keeper. "Thomas Wincoll is allowed by the selectmen to keep the ordinary," 17 September 1649 [WaTR 1:18]. ESTATE: By 10 October 1635 Thomas Wincoll had sold to John Masters a house with seven (or eight) acres in the West End in Cambridge [CaBOP 29, 53]. In the Watertown Inventory of Grants Thomas Wincoll held one parcel: twenty-five acres in the Great Dividend [WaBOP 92]. In the Inventory of Possessions he held seven parcels: homestall of twenty-four acres; three acres of meadow; one acre of meadow in Patch Meadow; twenty acres of upland in the Great Dividend; six acres of plowland in the Further Plain; six acres of Remote Meadow; and ten acres and a half of upland beyond the Further Plain [WaBOP 126-27]. In the Composite Inventory Thomas Wincoll had fourteen parcels: homestall of twenty-four acres; eight acres of planting ground; three acres of meadow in Patch Meadow; one acre of meadow in Patch Meadow; twenty acres of upland being a Great Dividend; six acres of meadow in the Remote Meadows; six acres of plowland in the Further Plain; ten acres and a half of upland beyond the Further Plain; nine acres of upland beyond the Further Plain; fifteen acres of upland being part of a Great Dividend; two acres of meadow in the Remote Meadow; four acres of plowland in the Further Plain; a farm of one hundred and forty-four acres; and a farm of ninety-one acres [WaBOP 40]. The inventory of the estate of "Thomas Wincoll late of Watertown deceased the 10th day of the 4th month 1657" totalled £130 2s., with no real estate included; "the estate is debtor to John Wincoll for the maintenance of his said father in meat, drink & apparel nine years" [MPR 1:124]. Thomas Wincoll and his son John acquired five of the farms laid out in the western part of Watertown. One was granted to Thomas Wincoll as part of his proprietary share, and he purchased the farms of John Finch and John Ellet [MLR 3:22]. BIRTH: By about 1587 based on age at death. DEATH: Watertown 10 June 1657, "Thomas Wincoll aged about seventy years died the tenth of June" [WaVR 1:20]. MARRIAGE: (1) By about 1622 Elizabeth _____; "Elizabeth Winckoll," aged 52, and "Jo[hn] Winckoll," aged 13, sailed for New England in 1635 [Hotten 54]. (2) By an unknown date Beatrix _____. "Beatrix Wincoll wife of Thomas Wincoll died the eleventh of June [1656], aged about eighty years," at Watertown [WaVR 1:18]. CHILD:
With first wifei JOHN, b. about 1622 [Hotten 54]; m. (1) by 1662 Elizabeth _____ (wife Elizabeth consented to several deeds made by John Wincoll from 2 August 1662 to 8 June 1672 [MLR 2:233, 265, 266, 3:30, 23, 6:201]); m. (2) (contract) 29 February 1675/6 Mary Etherington [YLR 4:86]; m. (3) by 16 September 1682 Olive (Coleman) Plaisted, widow of Roger Plaisted [GDMNH 560, citing YLR 8:132].
COMMENTS: On 4 March 1632/3 "Thomas Wincall" was fined 20s. for drunkenness (which might explain why it took so long for him to be authorized to run the ordinary in Watertown) [MBCR 1:103]. The Watertown land records contain three early grants to "John Winkoll": Great Dividend of twenty-five acres, 25 July 1636; three acres in the Beaverbrook Plowlands, 28 February 1636/7; and six acres in the Remote Meadows, 26 June 1637 [WaBOP 5, 7, 10]. In the land inventories, Thomas Wincoll is shown as having been granted this Great Dividend parcel, and as having acquired the Remote Meadows lot, but the Beaverbrook Plowlands lot does not appear. In the Inventory of Possessions there is an entry for John Wincoll, who had acquired five pieces of land, none of them corresponding to the three parcels granted above [WaBOP 127]; all of these parcels appear in the Composite Inventory for Thomas Wincoll [WaBOP 40]. John Wincoll, the son of Thomas Wincoll, was too young to have generated these records. The simplest remaining possibilities are that the John Wincoll acquiring land in Watertown in the mid-1630s was the father or an unmarried brother of Thomas, but given the apparent age of Thomas, his father would have been quite old at the time. There is not sufficient evidence to determine who this John Wincoll was.

ASSOCIATIONS: As part of the Olney cluster, John Cooper and his family were neighbors at least to the Kirklands, Farringtons, Newhalls and Fullers.

COMMENTS: On 1 April 1635, "Jon Cooper," aged 41 years "of Oney in Buckinghamsher," was enrolled at London for passage to New England on the Hopewell [Hotten 44]. On the same ship were "Wibroe 42 years wife of Jon Cooper" and "Mary Cooper 13, Jon Cooper 10, Tho[mas] Cooper 7, Martha Cooper 5 children of Jon Cooper aforesaid" [Hotten 44]. On 4 June [1640], John Cooper was one of the signers of "A Declaration of the Company," one of the foundation documents for Southampton [SoTR 1:6-7].
