Notes

In 1668, be became an inhabitant of Succonessit (Falmouth). He received lands at Woods Hole, Little Harbor in 1677: "to be assigned equally to every purchaser according to his proportion; beginning at the south end of the Little Neck and running W. by N. to the Great Harbor. Parallel to this were twelve other strips of land, averaging about 7 rods in width, numbered from 1 to 13, all assigned as follows: viz., to Moses Rowley, Sr., Joseph Hull, Thos. Griffin, John Robinson, Sam'l Tilly, Nathaniel Skiff, Thomas Johnson, William Gifford, Thomas Lewis, John Jenkins, Jonathan Hatch Sr., William Weeks, and Thomas Ewer. There were land laid out 10 acres to a share, in Great Neck, to the same individuals." from [Freeman] & [B.L.Williams 11-12]. "At a meeting of the proprietors of the lands at Suckanesset (Falmouth) March 19 [1700], the proprietors, by vote, made choice of Thomas Lewis to be their clerk. Thomas Lewis was an expert chirographer, a systematic registrar, and had probably long acted in the capacity which the record of this last year of the century assigns him." [Freeman:falmouth] and [B.L.Williams 12]
