THOMAS LINCOLN, "Miller." 



1. Thomas, distinguished from the other three Thomases who early- 

 settled in Hing. by his vocation of " miller," came from Old Eng. 

 to New Eng. in 1635, and July 3, 1636, had a house-lot of five acres 

 granted him on what is now South, near Main St. Other lots were 

 also granted him for planting purposes. He prob. brought with 

 him from Eng. two or three ch. ; and before 1650 rem. from here 

 with his fam. to Taunton, Mass., where, Uec. 10, 1665, he m. for his 

 sec. "w. Elizabeth Street, prob. the wid. of Francis Street. Tradition 

 says that he erected at Taunton the old grist-mill, where, in 1675, 

 King Philip and his chiefs met the pioneers of the place for a peace- 

 ful interview ; and that at a later period his sons John and Samuel 

 conveyed the old mill property to Eobert Crosman. Whether there 

 is any record to verify this statement ab. the old grist-mill or not, it 

 is undoubtedly true that he continued in the same vocation w^hich he 

 had previously followed. In his will of 28 Aug. 1683, he calls him- 

 self "eighty years of age or thereabouts." Will proved 5 March foil.
