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
the wrong, and tliose of their, number who resisted,
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.
The goods seized by the Marshall were such as a tailor
usually, keeps, and I infer from this that he learned the trade of
his (father. He died in 1667, aged 34, leaving a widow Hannah
and a family of children. I find no record of their names.
Thomas Lothrop, the father-in-law of the deceased, and Shubael
Linnell, his uncle, were appointed guardians of the children.
