Note: No burial record has been found for Thomas, but he lived in Kingston, died there, and is certainly buried there in one of the old cemeteries, of which this is a likely candidate. His birth year is an approximation; one source says he was born about 1664, and another gives a specific date in 1672, giving the place as Hampton, NH.

Thomas was the son of John Scribner and Mary [Hilton?] of Hampton, NH. He m. (1) Hampton 24 Dec 1702 Sarah CLIFFORD, b. 30 Oct 1673, d. Kingston 5 Jan 1707/8 (vital record), the daughter of John Clifford and Sarah Godfrey. Thomas m. (2) Kingston 4 Feb 1707/8 Hannah WELCH, b. c. 1685, likely living in 1730, the daughter of Philip Welch and Hannah Haggett.

Thomas's will, dated 28 March 1718, was proved 4 June 1718, naming wife Hannah, sons John, Edward and Samuel, and daughters Elizabeth and Deborah, and making provision for a future child as well. After Thomas's death, Hannah married Charles Hunt of Kingston. She may have been the Mrs. Hunt who brought three children (Margaret, Penelope, and Sarah) to be baptized at Kingston on 1 April 1730.

Children of Thomas and Sarah, b. Kingston, NH:

* John, b. Kingston 6 Dec 1703 and baptized there 3 Sep 1704 as the "son of Sarah Scriven," according to the Salisbury, Mass. vital record. He was named in his father's 1718 will, and was living with his uncle Joseph Clifford in 1724. He m. Kingston 26 July 1737 Abigail STEVENS, and lived in Fremont, NH.

* Deborah, b. Kinsgton 7 Sep 1705, and baptized there on 13 Feb 1705/6 as the "daughter of Sarah Scriven," according to the Salisbury, Mass. vital records. She was named in her father's 1718 will, and was living with her uncle Joseph Clifford in 1724. She m. NH 29 Dec 1726 Joseph WELCH, apparently the one of that name born in Haverhill, Mass. 28 Feb 1702/3, the son of Samuel Welch and Mary Judkins. Deborah and Joseph had nine children, born in Kingston, NH 1727 to 1745.

* Sarah, b. Kingston 18 Nov [1707?], d. Kingston 19 March 1709

Children of Thomas and Hannah, all b. Kingston, NH:

* Elizabeth, b. Kingston 1 May 1709, m. Peter PATTEE

* Edward, b. Kingston 27 April 1711, m. Newbury, Mass. 8 May 1735 Rachel WEBSTER (both called of Kingston in mar. record), b. 17 March 1710, the daughter of Ebenezer Webster and Hannah Judkins. Ebenezer and Hannah were the great grandparents of the noted Daniel Webster. Edward and Rachel had six children, born 1735 to 1748. Edward is on the 1776 census of Salisbury, NH, and a web source says he died there in 1791, but I cannot confirm.

* Samuel, b. Kingston 29 March 1713, d. Kingston 31 March 1715

* Samuel, b. Kingston 29 April 1716, d. Andover, NH 5 Feb 1794, m. Kingston 4 Nov 1740 Hannah WEBSTER, b. 1721, d. Andover, NH 17 Sep 1807, the daughter of Ebenezer Webster and Hannah Judkins. Samuel was a private in Capt Light's company, Col Samuel Moore's regiment that took part in the expedition to Louisburg, Nova Scotia in 1745. Samuel and Hannah resided in Kingston until 1753, when they settled in Salisbury, NH on land purchased from Jonathan Sanborn, 1 March 1753. On 16 Aug 1754, Samuel was preparing to build a new house, and while clearing a meadow he and Robert Barber were captured by Indians, and taken to St. Francis, in Canada. He was held for two years, until ransomed back to freedom. When he returned, he competed the house, which was still standing in 1913. Samuel was still living in Salisbury in 1776 when he signed the Association Test there. Sometime shortly thereafter he and Hannah moved to Andover, where they spent their final years. Samuel and Hannah had eleven children, born 1741 to 1762, all births recorded in the Kingston vital records, though several of the later children were certainly born in Salisbury. Samuel and Hannah both have grave markers in the Boston Hill Cemetery in Andover.

* Mary, b. 1718, d. Stratham, NH 14 Oct 1753, m. Amesbury, Mass. 27:5m:1738 (27 July 1738, since the old calendar was still in use until 1752) Benjamin HOAG, assumed to be the one born in Amesbury 17:6m:1712 (17 Aug 1712), the son of Joseph and Sarah Hoag. In his will, Thomas Scribner knew that his wife was pregnant, and thus stated "if my wife should have another son, or daughter..." It turns out that she had this daughter, who Noyes, et al, simply state that he "provided for another child born about six months later,"[23] meaning that she was born in late 1718. Mary and Benjamin had four children, born in Stratham, NH 1742 to 1752. Following Mary's death, Benjamin m. Kingston, NH 13 Feb 1756 Mary Martin, b. Amesbury 10 March 1709/10.
