Notes for THOMAS BARNES:
Thomas was married in Marlborough, but later moved to Brookfield, Massachusetts during its second settlement, circa 1695. He inherited part of the Indian Plantation lands of Marlborough from his father in 1697 and was involved in a title dispute to his land (as were his neighbors) until 1719 when the courts finally recognized the validity of the deed of purchase of these Indian lands obtained by the residents of the plantation area. Like his father, he was active in community affairs and he was a leading resident of Brookfield. Thomas and his son, Samuel, were chosen town assessors in 1718. Thomas acquired considerable land through grants and later, purchases, and ultimately owned 1100 acres in all. Assessed property valuation, circa 1717, was second only to that of the famed Col. John Pynchon. Thomas Barnes' tax rate was 4 pounds 8 pence, and John Pynchon's tax rate was 5 pounds, 5 shillings. The next highest assessment, just below that of Thomas Barnes, was that of John Hamilton, Sr., who had an assessment of 3 pounds, 17 shillings, and 8 pence. Thomas was one of eight men commissioned to build a sawmill in the town of Brookfield--the first in the town. For this, each of the eight men received a grant of 40 acres of land. House and goods destroyed in King Philip's War by the Indians March 20, 1676. In 1691 received a grant of 40 acres in Brookfield, Mass. where he built. Bought other lands and held in all 1100 acres. He was a leading citizen of Brookfield. His house was the stopping point of the Committee when on duty at Brookfield and expenses were granted to his wife. Late in life he lived with his son Comfort north of Ditch Meadow Swamp. Gored to death by a bull.
