• Notes

  Lived on Kennebec R.1692 - Thomas and Mary flee from Indians, go from Falmouth to Boston. Mary & son Samuel testified in the Burroughs witchcraft trial about Burrough's exceptional strength. "Thomas Webber of Maine and Massachusetts. THOMAS WEBBER was baptized 17 May 1629 at Bideford, a costal town of Devonshire, England, the second son of Thomas and Phillipa ("Junsen"/Johnson?) Webber, grandson of William and Joan (Wynslade) Webber and great grandson of Robert Wynslade, all of Bideford. By 1650, he was in Maine, and by 1656 he married Mary Parker, daughter of John and Mary Parker, and settled on Parker's Island (now Georgetown) near the Kennebec River mouth. Her father, "fisherman of Bideford, Devon," had come to this locale as early as 1629, acquiring the island which subsequently he left to his children, John jr., Thomas and Mary; (curiously, the Biddeford Church registers contain several Webber entries and none pertaining to the Parkers). Thomas and Mary Webber had five sons and one daughter in Maine, and are understood to have been driven from the area by Indian raids; all of the sons except Samuel accompanied the parents to Charlestown, MA, where Thomas died before 1692. In this year, according to Wyman's "Charlestown Estates", widow Mary was 55 years of age. She joined the church there in 1695, and died after 1700--probably about 1715." This Thomas Webber is NOT the same as the Thomas, master of the Mayflower, as described in TEG 3:188. Thomas, the mariner, died in 1657 leaving a widow named Sarah, who married John Pierce. Could that Thomas have been his father? Possibly, but I don't think so. It seemed like Sarah was fairly young when that Thomas died.
