12. THANKFUL3 BARNES (THOMAS2, THOMAS1)346,347,348,349,350 was born 01 May 1695 in Marlborough, Middlesex, MA351,352,353,354,355, and died 20 Mar 1745 in Brookfield, Worcester, MA356,357. She married CAPT. JABEZ OLMSTEAD358,359,360 1712 in Brookfield, Worcester, MA, son of HANS UMSTEAD and BARBARA. He was born 1690 in Ware, Hampshire, MA, and died 24 Feb 1752 in Ware, Hampshire, MA.

Notes for CAPT. JABEZ OLMSTEAD:
Was in Brookfield by 1713 and on 13 August 1714 received a grant of eighty acres, and later of eighty-one acres. He owned in all three hundred and fifty acres which he sold on 9 July 1729. Moved to Ware, where he was a first settler, and built a mill at the Falls.

In 1745, Capt. Olmstead commanded the 10th Co. in Col. Samuel Willard's 4th MA Reg. against Louisburg. The fact that he held a commission disposes the myth of his being part American Indian.

• He served in the military French and Indian Wars from MA. "In 1736, seven years after his removal from Brookfield to Ware, we find a petition of Jabez Olmstead of Ware River praying for a grant of province land "in consideration for his good services in the late Wars against the French and Indians, and the Wounds he has received with the expense he has been at for the cure of them." It was ordered that 200 acres be granted him of the unappropriated lands, provided he returns a plot
within twelve months for confirmation, and provided the petitioner, his heirs or assigns, "build on the premises within three years a house 18 feet square at the least, and 7 ft. stud, and break up or bring to English grass five acres, and fence the same." In 1738 Olmstead prays for further time, "as through some disappointments he has not been able to lay out the same within the time limited." It was ordered
"that the time be extended 12 months from the present, and two years to fulfill the conditions of the grant."
• He owned a Saw and Grist Mills 1729 in Ware, Hampshire Cty, MA.
• He sold his house in Brookfield on July 9, 1729 and moved to Ware. Where he erected a home on the West side of the Ware River above the Village. Later there was a 2-story home built known as the "Great House" where a leach was used to produce potash.
• He signed a Will dated 4 Feb 1751/52 in Hampshire Cty, MA.
