• Notes

  John Thurber's year of death is based on a list of inventory signed by wife Priscilla and dated 3 July, 1706. A memo on the back of John's will says Priscilla was married to John for 57 years. His will was made out 21 March 1703/4. This would mean they were probably married 1646/7. Both John and his wife Priscilla are reported to have been born in or near a small parish called Market Stainton in Lincolnshire, England. This has not been confirmed, and cannot be considered factual. John Thurber and John Thurber (assumed to be John and son Capt. John) are listed as signers to be inhabitants of the Town of Swanzey. According to History of Swansea pages taken from UMASS interactive course [www.gargaro.com/thurber/swansea.html], New Swansea's grant for township - was petitioned at the court of New Plymouth in 1667. The agreement was made between the Church of Christ, meeting at Swanzey, and Capt. Thomas WIllet and associates. It was dated 22 Feb. 1668/9 [source: Early Rehoboth, Vol. I, by Richard L Bowen, p. 36] «b»Gargaro, Florence Thurber website«/b» [1]
