7x great grandfather James Thomas is another one of my ancestors that I've had trouble finding information for him online. Luckily some of his other descendants were involved with shipbuilding and it was in a book by Lloyd Vernon Briggs that I found this brief biography:
James Thomas, 4th son of the ancestor John, and Sarah Pitney, settled in Duxbury, near
Marshfield; mar. Mary • They had : 1. Mary, b. Sept. 27, 1693; 2.
James, b. Feb. 10, 1696; 3. Hannah, b. Aug. 30, 1698, mar. Wrestling
Brewster of Kingston, 1722; 4. John, b. Nov. 4, 1700, mar. Hannah
Spofford and settled in Lebanon, Conn; 5. Ebenezer, b. Sept. 30, 1703,
mar. and settled in Norwich, Conn.; 6. Ezekiel, b. Sept. 29, 1706, mar.
and moved to Lebanon, Conn.- p160
History of Shipbuilding on North River Norwell Historical Society, Coburn Brothers, Printers, Boston, Ma 1889
James' wife was Mary Tilden, who he married in Duxbury, Ma. on 3 Jan 1692. He died intestate
there in 1718, and I've found the probate file which I will transcribe soon.
