Notes for Thomas* Hobart:

FROM "ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF HUBBARD HISTORY"

The Hingham Mutiny

The brothers Thomas, Edmund and Joshua, were fined for "sedition" June 28, 1645, for participating in the Hingham Mutiny against the authority of Lt. Anthony Eames. Their brother, Peter, who was previously criticized for his allegiance to the king, defended them against these charges which were of insubordination and were preferred by Lt. Anthony Eames, commanding officer of the "train band." This was a bitter and disagreeable quarrel which agitated Hingham for many years. The various participants were fined a sum total of 155 pounds, 108, to which Joshua contributed 20 pounds, Edmund 5 pounds, Thams and Peter 2 pounds each.

Joshua figured prominently in the Hingham Mutiny which was a revolt against the authority of Lt. Eames. The "train band" was a famous militia organization in those days. Bozoun Allen, whose cause Joshua espoused, was elected captain in opposition to Eames, and so fierce was the factional feeling resulting from it that the grave magistrates at Boston were kept busy many months in their efforts to quell the agitation this disturbance had brought into the community. The Hingham Mutiny occupied a prominent place in colonial matters in those days and made the warmest friends bitter foes, threatening alike at one period to disrupt that prosperous colony. Afterward, Joshua was made captain of this Artillery Company.---"One Thousand Years of Hubbard History."

Family Tree Maker: Genealogical Memoir of the Newcomb Family
---http://www.familytreemaker.com/

THE NAME.--The name Newcomb is said to be of Saxon origin, Combe signifying a low
situation, a vale, a place between two hills. Newcome, Newcomes is defined by Halliwell as
“strangers newly arrived”; but the family of this name, who trace back to Hugh Newcome, of
Saltfleetby, Co. Lincoln, temp. Coeur de Lion (1189-1199), are not parvenus in this or any other
sense. The name is doubtless the some as Newcombe, though the locality from which that is
derived is not known.”

In early records in this country the name is found written Newcom, Newcome, Newcomb,
Newcombe, Newcum, Newkom, Newckum, Nucom, Nucome, Nucomb, Nucombe, Nucum, etc.;
in some instances in two or more ways in same document; now it is almost invariably written
Newcomb.

T'he records of baptism, marriages, etc., at Saltfleetby, where the family has been seated 700
years, begin in 1558, and are written in Latin; in these records the name is written Newcomen; the
known descendants write the Name Newcomen, Newcome, and perhaps Newcomb. It is a
question with the Author as to whether Newcomen and Newcomb are only different ways of
writmg the same name.

'Andrew Newcom and His Descendants'

Mr. N. owned several tracts of land in Braintree, as appears by record, a part being near the iron works, and another tract on S. side of Monatiquot River; it is highly probable he lived at Quincy Point or the "Neck;" no will or settlement of his estate upon record. In the records of First chh. Boston, under Admissions, is the following: "The 28th of ye 12th or last month 1635 Rachaell Newcombe ye wife of one Francis Newcombe." Again: "the 16th of ye 12th month 1639" a committee was chosen to enquire after the spiritual state of 11 persons in Braintree, and among the number was "Rachell ye wife of Francis Newcomb." Mrs. N. was received in chh. at Braintree from Boston, 5 (1) 1684-5; no record of her death. The following is a fac-simile of Mr. N.'s autograph as witness to a deed given by Peter Nash to John Mansfield, July 26, 1662; it will be noticed he wrote his name ffransis nucom.

Please see lineage of Andrew Newcomb. He evidently connects to this Newcomb lineage but exactly where is to be determined.---RCM

"Guns, Germs and Steel"

In 1712, in England, a Thomas Newcomen designed and built a steam engine that became the model improved upon by James Watt in 1769 who is given credit for having invented the steam engine. One hundred of Newcomen's steam engines had been manufactured by the time James Watt conceived of his improvements. In turn, the Newcomen steam engine was based on the work of still others.

GREAT MIGRATION

JOHN NEWCOMEN

In 1630 JOHN BILLINGTON of Plymouth "waylaid a young man, one John New-comin, about a former quarrel and shot him with a gun, whereof he died." After consultation with Winthrop and others in Massachusetts Bay, the Plymouth authorities tried Billington, found him guilty, and executed him in September 1630 [ Bradford 234].

COMMENTS: John G. Hunt has published a highly speculative identification of the origins of this John Newcomen, based partly on an argument by elimination, and partly on the now discredited theory that the wife of WILLIAM BREWSTER was Mary Wentworth [ NEHGR 113:68-69]. Although the proposed identification is not impossible, there is simply not enough evidence for Hunt's theory. (We should also be alert to the possibility that "New-comin" is not a surname, but an indication that the murder victim was newly arrived at Plymouth, and his surname was unknown to Bradford. Not surprisingly, THOMAS MORTON makes a punning use of the name, employing this sense of the word [ New English Canaan 216].)
