Thomas was born most probably in one of the southwestern counties. We cannot date his birth even approximately, but his wife seems to have been born about 1617 and their first child born about 1634, so that his own birth was probably somewhere about 1610.
The exact date of his death is doubtful. Matthew Grant's "Old Church Record" merely gives the year as 1657, but the Colony record, presumably also derived from Grant, says 7 Sept. 1657, while the tombstone is reported to have said he died in October 1657. The only evidence in the probate record bearing on the date of death is the date of the inventory,1 Oct. 1657, takenby Benjamin Newberry and Daniel Clark. Presumably there was an interval between the death and the taking of the inventory, so that this would argue that death did take place in September, though perhaps not so early as the 7th of that month.
SOURCE: Thomas Holcomb Genealogy:http://www.holcombegenealogy.com/data/p3.htm#i111 - "At the time of Thomas' birth, the Renaissance was ending as was the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Perhaps one of the major events of his childhood was the publishing of the King James Bible, which may have affected his life more than any other event of the early 17th century. The Mayflower landed in Plymouth in 1620 and Thomas certainly would have heard of it and perhaps been excited by the possibilities for a young man.
The Colony of Massachusetts was founded in 1628 and the Colony of Connecticut was founded in 1633. The stage was set for the second wave of English colonists of which Thomas was a part." "Thomas has been said to have comeon the 1630 voyage of the Mary and John, but there is no proof of it, all passenger lists for that voyage being hypothetical. Robert Charles Anderson in NEHGR, April 1993, addressed the many different lists of passengers on the Mary and John. He went about objectively establishing specific criteria for determining the likelihood that a specific individual was on the ship. By the criteria he established, which seem reasonable, Mr. Anderson concluded that Thomas Holcombe is not likely to have come on the Mary and John in 1630. Those that Mr. Anderson concluded had a solid basis for being considered passengers were: Roger Clap, George Ludlow, Roger Ludlow, John Maverick, Richard Southcott, Thomas Southcott,and John Warham. Additional passengers, based on other criteria were: Aaron Cooke, George Dyer, Thomas Ford, William Gaylord, John Holman, Thomas Lombard, Richard Louge, William Phelps, William Rockwell, Henry Smith, Thomas Stoughton, Stephen Terry, Nicholas Upsall, and Henry Wolcott. Another group of families, with less reliable connection to the Mary and John were John Benham, Bygod Eggleston, Christopher Gibson, Matthew Grant, John Greenway, John Hoskins, William Hulbird, Davy Johnson, George Phillips, John Phillips, John Pierce, and Roger Williams. Mr. Anderson assigns five other families that do not meet his criteria,but may, for other reasons, have been on the Mary and John: John Drake, John Gallop, Johathan Gillet, Nathan Gillet, and Henry Way. Mr. Anderson does not mention Thomas Holcombe anywhere in his discussion. However, he does leave room for three or four families that would be unaccounted for if the total number of passengers was 140. The information here, whether it describes Thomas' voyage specifically or not, does describe the similar circumstances which brought him to Dorchester." "On whatever ship they crossed, Thomas Holcombe was in Massachusetts Bay by 4 May 1634 on which day he became a freeman, and he is recorded as a resident of Dorchester." "Thomas owned land in Dorchester as detailed in the Great Migration. Granted an eight acre Great Lot at Dorchester, 1 December 1634 [DTR 9]; granted Lot #65, three acres, in the meadow beyond Naponset [DTR321]; on 12 August 1635 Thomas Holcombe of Dorchester sold to Richard Joanes of Dorchester four parcels of land: four acres "with my houses and all things thereto pertaining".
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The summer of 1630, ten years after the Pilgrim Fathers landed at Plymouth Rock, witnessed an unprecedented immigration to the New England Colony. The Mary and John which sailed from Plymouth, England on the 20th of March brought 140 passengers. They were emigrants from Dorsetshire, Devon and Somerset.
An old record describes the passengers as a very godly and religious company, many of them being persons of note or figure and dignified by the title of Master, with which but few were in those days. THOMAS HOLCOMB was one of the passengers on that ship, though not one called Master.
On May 30, 1630 they landed at Nantasket, a peninsula on the southeast side of the narrow entrance to the harbor of Boston, and nine miles from that city. Roger Clap who was on board kept a diary and he summed up the voyage this way: So we came, by the good hand of God, through the deep comfortably, having preaching and expounding of the Word of God every day for ten weeks together, by our ministers.
Captain Squib, Master of the Mary and John was not willing to venture his ship into the intricacies of a harbor of which he knew nothing. He had agreed to take the passengers to Boston and the Colonial authorities held a prejudice, not yet extinct in New England in favor of having agreements lived up to. Captain Squib's passengers brought suit against him and recovered damages, for not being landed at their destined port.
Thirteen days after the immigrants reached Nantasket, Governor Winthrop arrived at Salem, then boasting ten buildings. The West Country people settled at Matapan, this Indian appellation they soon changed to Dorchester.
THOMAS HOLCOMB settled at Dorchester in 1633. In his day Dorchester Plantation was a rude settlement of a few log cabins, straggling over most of the territory now embraced in Milton, Canton, Stoughton, Sharon and South Boston, Massachusetts.
The salt marshes offered excellent food for cattle but the people suffered for want of food. Their first meal was of fish, with no bread and for many months they suffered many hardships. Roger Clap wrote further: The place was a wilderness. Fish was a good help to me and to others. Bread was so scarce that I thought the very crusts from my Father's table would have been sweet; and when I could have meal and salt and water boiled together, I asked; ,Who could ask for anything better.'
Thomas Holcomb drew land in a lottery on December 1, 1634 and on March 14, 1634 had been made a freeman. He had a grant of land 14½ rods wide.
In 1635 about 60 dissenters, among whom was Thomas Holcomb went to establish homes in what was later known as the Windsor settlement. (In Connecticut) They spent the summer in felling trees and building log houses. Their families remained behind in Dorchester and in October several of the men went back for them. They sent their household goods by ship around Long Island Sound, to come up the Connecticut River. They started their return to Windsor by land, the babies and invalids on horseback. The women, men and older children walking and driving their cattle through the wilderness.
Winter set in early and by the middle of November, the river was frozen solid and the snows were deep. The overland emigrants suffered much and were obliged to leave their cattle in the woods where many died. Reaching the Windsor settlement, the travelers were appalled to learn the ship with their provisions was imprisoned in the river below.
Seventeen went back to Massachusetts Bay in despair. Those who remained subsisted chiefly on nuts and acorns. At length a party of seventy men, women and children started for the ship which was frozen in, twenty miles above the river's mouth. Before they reached her, she was released by the Spring thaw, so they returned to their settlement which at first they called, New Dorchester, but later named Windsor, Connecticut.
Thomas Holcomb sold his property at Dorchester, Massachusetts to Richard Jones.
On September 7, 1632, THOMAS HOLCOMB had married ELIZABETH FERGUSON at Dorchester it is believed. ELIZABETH FERGUSON was born in 1612 in Pembrokeshire, Wales, the daughter of THOMAS and MRS. ELIZABETH FERGUSON. There is a claim they were married in England before embarking, but the ship's listing is in her name and the date of marriage listed means they married in America.
THOMAS FERGUSON was born in Pembrokeshire, Wales in 1584. ELIZABETH _________? FERGUSON was born in 1586.
They carried their lives in their hands, they suffered constantly from Indians and as soon as possible they built a palisade, a quadrangle three quarters of a mile long to protect the women and children from attack. Those who had lots or houses outside moved into the palisade. At home, in the field, at the meeting house, nowhere were they really secure.
About 1639, Thomas Holcomb sold their property in Windsor to Josiah Hull and moved to Poquonock, Connecticut which was about four miles west of Windsor. Here he farmed. He was a Representative from Windsor in the Convention that framed the famous Constitution of the Connecticut Colony. He was also Deputy and a member of the Connecticut Militia.
