I. 1. Thomas Brigham,2 2d, on the marriage of his mother to EdmundRice, seems with his brothers and sister to have continued with her.On attaining his majority he purchased of his father-in-law for œ30 atown right in Marlborough' "of 24 acres, with the frame of a dwellinghouse thereon, with all the privileges of the town commons and furtheraddition of allotments to be made thereto." And, Aug. 28, 1665, havingcompleted payment for the same, he received a deed from the executorsof Rice. This was a most fortunate purchase. It has advantageouslyaffected the circumstances of thousands of his descendants to thisday: For it constituted him an extensive proprietor of the lands ofwhat are now four townships, mostly of the altered mica and hornblendslate formations, the richest of extent in Mass. on which agriculturecan be profitably pursued. In 1686 he was one of a company to purchase6,000 acres of the Indians situated near Marlb., and afterwards"annexed to her." This further enlarged his claim to wild lands, and,as fast as he and his sons increased in ability to occupy them, theydrew lots, and mostly in the S. W. part of what is now Marlborough',and in those portions of Northboro' and Westboro' which arecontiguous. He settled in the S. W. part of the town, on what is now called theWarren Brigham farm, on the south road to Northboro'. He drew 63 acresat one division, 39 of which was on the side of Crane Hill, on a pathfrom his house to Crane Ordinary. The house which he built afterPhilip's war, and which was subsequently used as a garrison, is yetstanding; and even the chair in which he expired is in theneighborhood, in the possession of one of his descendants, Mrs. LewisAmes. He was probably one of the principal citizens of the town, butin what capacities he served her or the church cannot be ascertained,owing to the loss of records. He made his will April 17, 1716, whichwas proved Jan. 2, 1717. In this he gave to David and Gershom all hislands situated on the W. side of Assabet River [S. branch] and otherlands near them; and to Nathan and Jona. in equal shares all that partof the Eaton Farm on the E. side of this stream. To Elnathan, whom hehad previously settled on a part of this Farm, he gave more land, andmade Nathan, Jonathan and Gershom his executors. To each son he hadprobably before conveyed tracts for farms on which they had long beensettled; and he must have been an extensive land owner. How manyfarms, mineralogically the richest in New England, have long beeninherited from him! He had 5 sons, and his two brothers had 9, of whom8 lived to have families in the same community; and yet four times thenumber of his descendants have been traced. To what is thisattributable, except to his inheriting the largest portion of theirfather's estate, and seizing lands on a narrow strip of mica slate?Samuel secured lands partly upon it, and his seed remains. John forhimself and sons went down entirely off of it, and who can report hisrace? If they ever turn up in a series of generations, in one place,it will probably be where they have ascended to the formation whichtheir fathers left, or to a newer one. Thomas2 m. Mary Rice, b.

Notes for THOMAS BRIGHAM: Thomas Brigham married a second wife Susanna, on 30 July 1695,daughter of William Shattuck of Watertown and widow (1) of JosephMorse and (2) of John Fay, whose first wife was Mary, the sister ofThomas. It will be noted that every descendant of Thomas is also adescendant of Edmund Rice, who is an ancestor of many colonialfamilies in eastern Massachusetts. He had a large number of children,some of whom were of mature age at the time of the emigration.

MARY7 BRIGHAM (THOMAS6, JOHN5, THOMAS4, THOMAS3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1)was born Abt. 1638 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and died 1676 inWatertown, Massachusetts. She married JOHN FAY Abt. 1669 inMarlborough, Massachusetts. He was born 1648 in England, and diedDecember 5, 1690 in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Notes for MARY BRIGHAM: Mary was the daughter of Thomas and Mercy (Hurd) Brigham; bornprobably in Cambridge, Mass., about 1638; died in Watertown, in 1676;married John Fay, the emigrant, who settled in Marlborough, Mass., anddied 5 May, 1690, age 50. Mary was the first Brigham born in America, and as such deservesspecial mention. Paige, in his History of Cambridge (pp. 501-2), amost thorough and painstaking work, chronicles that "Mary went toSudbury and Marlborough with her mother, brothers and sister, when herfather died, where she married John Fay of Marlborough." And he citesevidence, as already indicated by a legal document (Mid. Prob. Recs.,vii. 9), wherein, joining with other complainants, John Fay and SamuelFay, children of Mary Fay of Marlborough, and heirs of Thomas Brigham,late of Cambridge began suit September 28, 1695, to recover certainlands in the possession of Samuel Hastings, who possessed also thePuritan Brigham homestead. John Fay Sr.'s wife was Mary, and there wasno other Fay in Marlborough at that time of suitable age to be thefather of said John, Jr., and Samuel Fay, parties to said suit. Paigewas undoubtedly correct, and we must include in our genealogy of theBrighams the children of John and Samuel Fay, sons of Mary (Brigham)Fay. Both of them had large families, among them being sons who becamethe heads of numerous branches (see Fay Family). There was also adaughter, Mary Fay, who married Jonathan3 Brigham, her cousin, and ason of Thomas2 Brigham; they had 10 children, thus starting severalmale lines of Brighams. Hudson, in his Hist. of Marlborough, does notconflict with Paige's position; and he adds that John Fay retired(with most other Marlboroites), during King Philip's War, toWatertown, where he buried his wife Mary and a young son David, justcoming five years. John Fay, the husband of Mary Brigham, came to America when he waseight years of age. No mention is made of his parents. He is found inMarlborough as early as 1669. He married (2) Susanna, daughter ofWilliam Shattuck of Watertown and widow of Joseph Morse. As will beseen, she married for her third husband, Thomas2 Brigham. [Brigham(1907) p. 63] Notes for JOHN FAY: John Fay embarked May 30, 1656, at Gravesend, England, and arrived inBoston on June 27, 1656, at the age of 8 years on the Speedwell(sister ship of the Mayflower). John was by no means the first Fay tocome to America. Available Town records in New England show forexample that (1) Richard Fay resided in Dorchester MA in 1634; (2)Henry Fay, a weaver of Newberry MA died 6/30/1655 and (3) William Faywas admitted as a townsman in Boston in 1643. These Fay'sunquestionably preceded John Fay to America (1656), but there are norecords to establish any interrelationship between any of them. There is, however, reasonable evidence that his father and a brotherMichael had preceded him to America. Although there is no documentedrecord of the father (David) or Michael's birth or death. Reference ismade in the early Town records of Sudbury, Massachusetts, that thefather of John and Michael was David Fay "who came to America prior to1656." On the other hand the direct lineage of the descendants of JohnFay from his birth in 1648 down to 1898 were clearly and logicallydocumented in the records accumulated in Orlin P. Fay's book. The passenger list of the Speedwell lists five minors, including JohnFay age 8 years. These young men were bound to Sudbury MA (settled 17years previously) where each of them had parents or relatives. It ispresumed that since John Fay was the youngest of these minors, he verylikely had parents already residing in Sudbury. Shortly after John Fay's arrival a group of recent immigrants,including young John moved to a new grant which was newly incorporatedunder the name of Marlborough, MA. The early records of Marlboroughshow that John Fay was made a freeman in 1669, at which time he had awife and child. In 1675 the name of John Fay appears among theproprietors of Worcester Mass., and that he had a lot of 50 acresassigned to him "in the eastern squadron, lying next to the Countyroad to Boston." Although, he owned land in Worcester he continued tolive in Marlborough until the marauding Indians during the PhillipsWar made it necessary to move his family to the greater security ofWatertown Mass. While in Watertown he buried his first wife, MaryBrigham and one child. His second marriage was to Susan "Susanna"Shattuck who was the widow of Joseph Morse. She had 7 children byMorse and 4 by John Fay. After John Fay's death, Susan married as herthird husband, Thomas Brigham, who was a brother of John Fay's firstwife, Mary Brigham. It is interesting to record that from Susan's lastmarriage, one of her descendants [actually it was her husband Thomas'brother Samuel] was Peter Bent Brigham who left a sum of $1,000,000which was not to be spent until 25 years after his death. By this timethe fund had grown to $2,000,000 and was used to build the Peter BentBrigham Hospital, a world famous medical research hospital connectedwith Harvard Medical School in Boston, Mass.

Shortly after John Fay's arrival a group of recent immigrants,including young John moved to a new grant which was newly incorporatedunder the name of Marlborough, MA. The early records of Marlboroughshow that John Fay was made a freeman in 1669, at which time he had awife and child. In 1675 the name of John Fay appears among theproprietors of Worcester Mass., and that he had a lot of 50 acresassigned to him "in the eastern squadron, lying next to the Countyroad to Boston." Although, he owned land in Worcester he continued tolive in Marlborough until the marauding Indians during the PhillipsWar made it necessary to move his family to the greater security ofWatertown Mass. While in Watertown he buried his first wife, MaryBrigham and one child. His second marriage was to Susan "Susanna"Shattuck who was the widow of Joseph Morse. She had 7 children byMorse and 4 by John Fay. After John Fay's death, Susan married as herthird husband, Thomas Brigham, who was a brother of John Fay's firstwife, Mary Brigham. It is interesting to record that from Susan's lastmarriage, one of her descendants [actually it was her husband Thomas'brother Samuel] was Peter Bent Brigham who left a sum of $1,000,000which was not to be spent until 25 years after his death. By this timethe fund had grown to $2,000,000 and was used to build the Peter BentBrigham Hospital, a world famous medical research hospital connectedwith Harvard Medical School in Boston, Mass.
