BIRTH: About 1589 (deposed 2 November 1666 aged seventy-seven). Came from Broadway, Somersetshire to Massachusetts Bay in 1635 on the "Marygould" & settled in Weymouth MA. (On 20 March 163[4/]5, "Thomas Holbrooke of Broudway," aged 34, "Jane Holbrooke his wife," aged 34, "John Holbrooke his son," aged 11, "Thomas Holbrooke his son," aged 10, "Anne Holbrooke his daughter," aged 5, and "Elizabeth his daughter," aged 1, were enrolled at Weymouth, Dorsetshire, as a passenger for New England on the Marygould).
Died between 31 December 1673 (date of codicil) and 10 March 1676/7 (date of inventory).
Married at St Johns, Glastonbury, Somersetshire, 12 September 1616 Jane Powys. She died between 31 December 1673 (when she was named in the codicil to her husband's will) and 24 April 1677 (when John Holbrook was named executor of his father's estate.
Rebecca Holbrook, sister of this immigrant, married CLEMENT WEAVER {1640, Weymouth}.
This immigrant had a brother John Holbrook, whose fate was unknown in 1625. The absurd claim has been made that this John Holbrook was already in New England in 1626, and was the father of every stray Holbrook male who later appeared in New England. There was no John Holbrook in Dorchester in 1635, and this entire proposed family did not exist.
At some point between 1620 and 1635 Thomas Holbrook and his family moved from Glastonbury to Broadway. This move may be connected to the migration of Rev. JOSEPH HULL {1635, Weymouth} to Broadway by 1633.
The usually accurate and reliable V.C. Sanborn mistakenly assigned this immigrant as a passenger on the Hopewell, but corrected himself within a year. Many later writers have unfortunately picked up the initial assertion but missed the correction.
