Thomas Mayhew
M, #13815, b. 1509, d. 1 June 1590
| Note* | | THOMAS MAYHEW (Robert2, Simon1), third son of a Robert of Dinton, b. abt.1509, called 'yeoman', is the putative father of Matthew 4 of Tisbury and doubtless came to be a resident of the latter named parish through the marriage of his father Roberts 2 with Joan Bridmore of Tisbury. It isprobable that he inherited her estate there while the eldest son and heirretained possession of the Mayhew property in Dinton. He was buried in1590 at Tisbury. His wife Alice predeceased him in 1586. The chapter devoted to 'The English Family of Mayhew' (Vol. I, pp.104-116) comprises all that was known by the author at the time of itscompilation but several things of material importance have since beendiscovered to be added to its conclusions. During two recent visits toEngland the compiler found evidence of the residence of the Governor'sancestors in Tisbury as early as 1520 indicating settlement there at aprobable earlier date. Thomas3 Mayhew, who is considered the grandfatherof Gov. Thomas5 , was taxed for 'goods', as of the Tithing of Tisbury, in1540. (Sub. Roll 197/184.) In a deposition dated 30­31 Elizabeth(1589) this Thomas3 Mayhew deposed at the age of 80 years to events andpersons known to him in that parish for the past 63 years and more. Thisplaces his birth in 1509, his knowledge of events back to 1517 and it isprobable that he was born in Tisbury.1 |
