This is a cenotaph erected to the memory of Elder Thomas Dimmock in 1939. His burial site is unknown.∼ The first account of the Dimmick family in this country was in 1630, when Thomas Dimock and Joseph Hull, received from the Crown of Great Britain a grant of land which is now the town of Barnstable, Massachusetts.. (from the Book "early Years in Smyrna" published 1905)
Born by about 1610 based on the estimated date of marriage. Came to Massachusetts Bay in 1635 on the "Hopewell" of Weymouth. First settled in Dorchester; moved to Barnstable in 1639.
Died before 4 June 1658 (probate of will).
Married by 1635 Ann ______ (assuming she was the wife who came to New England with him). (On 7 August 1650, Rev. John Lothrop referred to this immigrant as "my brother Dimmicke," Jacobus argued that the "likeliest solution is that Lothrop's second wife was a sister of Thomas Dimmock/Dymock." According to Otis, "the widow Ann Dimmock was living in October 1683... She probably died before 1686." The evidentiary basis for these statements by Otis has not been found.)
Savage believed that Thomas Dimmock moved from Dorchester to Hingham in 1638, then to Scituate, and finally to Barnstable in 1640. Dimmock was in Dorchester as late as January 1637/8, and in Barnstable as early as December 1639; no evidence has been found that he resided anywhere in between.
Banks derived this immigrant from Chesterblade, Somersetshire, but this suggestion, and another made more recently, were disposed of in 1999.
