340 GENEALOGICAL NOTES OF BAKN8TABLE FAMILIES. 12. VIII. Joanna, March 1682. 13. IX. Thankful, Nov. 1684. 5. Capt. Thomas Dimmoek, or Dimmack, as he wrote his name, son of Ensign Shubael, was in the military service in the eastern country, and was killed in battle at Canso, on the 9th of Sept. 1697. He was a gallant officer, and in the battle in which he lost his life he would not conceal himself in the thicket or shelter himself behind a tree, as the other officers and soldiers under his command did, but stood out in the open field, a conspicuous mark for the deadly aim of the French, and of the Indian warriors. Capt. Dimmoek resided in the East Parish, and about the year 1690 bought the dwelling-house of Henry Taylor, which stood on the east of the common field road, where Mr. Nathaniel Gorham now resides. This He afterwards owned and he' sold to Nathaniel Orris in 1694. occupied his father's house, above described. Though only thirty-three at his death, he had acquired a large estate. The real estate which was his father's was apprised at £110 ; the farm at West Barnstable bought of Jonathan Hatch, at £72 ; land bought of Thomas Lumbert, Sen'r, Henry Taylor, and Sergeant Cobb, £20 ; meadow in partnership with John Bacon and Samuel Cobb, £16 ; and meadow at Rowley's Spring, formerly his father's, £12. He had a large personal estate, including onesixth of a sloop, shares in whale boats, &c. Capt. Thomas Dimmoek married Desire Sturgis. He died Sept. 9, 1697, and she married 2d, Col. John Thacher, 2d of that name, Nov. 10, 1698, by whom she had six children. She died 29th March, 1749, in the 84th year of her age. Her husband wrote some highly eulogistic poetry on her death. }: His children born in Barnstable were : 14. I. Mehitabel, born Oct. 1686. She married Capt. John Davis Aug. 13, 1705, and died May 1775, aged 88. (For a notice of her see Davis.) 15. II. Temperance, June 1689, married June 2, 1709, Benjamin Freeman of Harwich, and has numerous descendants. 16. III. Edward, born 5th July 1692. (See account of his family below.) 17. IV. Thomas, born 25th Dec. 1694. Of this son I have no information. 18. V. Desire, born Feb. 1696, married Job Gorham Dec. 4, 1719, died Jan. 28, 1732-3. fThis is the tradition which has been preserved in the neighborhood; but I find no mention of his death in the histories of the times which I have consulted. It was the last year of King "Williams' war, and great alarm prevailed throughout New England that tlie country would be invaded by the French. Capt. Dimmoek was engaged in the whale fishery, and he may have been on a whaling voyage at the time ; but the statement in the text is probably accurate. XI have the original in the hand-writing of Col. Thatcher. I preserve it not for the poetry; but because it is written on the back of a valuable historical document.
