Samuel Young and Thomas Halliox gave an order Oct. 9, 1696, to their mother, Paltiah Comstock, to pay our patrimony due us, to our brother, Peter Strickland.
________
The 1698 Southold census gives the following in Thomas' and Hope's household (entries were usually given in age order): Thomas, Kingsland, Ichabod, Zerubabbel, Anna, Patience, and Richard.

A 1992 book on the Hallock family adds Hope and Mehitable to the above - but Hope was likely a misunderstanding of the census list which included Thomas's wife, Hope, not a daughter. Mehitable who married William Downs was more likely a niece - the daughter of William Hallock as he named a daughter Mehitable (See NMQD-ZRW) in his will.

43 1622 - Under occupation he spent most of his life as the Pilgrims' resident agent at trading posts in CT; his trading post is now the site of Norwich, CT. Also set up lab for amateur chemical experiments; conferred with John Winthrop, Jr. who also had a lab.

JONATHAN BREWSTER was born 12 August 1593 at Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, England the son and eldest child of elder William Brewster and his wife, Mary. He had two younger sisters, Patience and Fear, and two younger brothers, Love and Wrestling along with an unnamed sibling who was buried, 20 June 1609 at Leyden, Holland.
He accompanied his family to Leiden in Holland around 1608 and accepted citizenship on 30 June 1617. Jonathan Brewster was "Lintwerker" or ribbon maker in Pieterskerhof, Leyden, Holland, and in 1617 he formed a partnership with Thomas Brewer, who later became one of the Adventurers in Plymouth. He was married to his first wife, Betje Rabnitz, on 27 April 1618.
Jonathan did not join his family on the Mayflower in 1620. Instead, he remained in Leiden with his wife, who was expecting at the time. She and their infant son died around 1620. Jonathan came to America on the ship Fortune which docked at Cape Cod on 9 Nov. 1621. He was 27 years old at the time.
Jonathan married Lucretia Oldham, 10 Apr. 1624 in Plymouth. Lucretia was chr. 1 Jan. 1600/1, the daughter of William Oldham and Phillipa Sowter, of Derby, Derbyshire, England. and her brother John Oldham arrived in aboard the ship Ann in 1623; her brother was Captain John Oldham, whose slaying led to the Pequot Indian war. They had eight children.
He moved to Duxbury, Massachusetts around 1630. Jonathan was also one of the men who undertook to discharge the debts of Plymouth Colony. A freeman in 1633,
In 1635 he was in charge of a trading post in Connecticut on behalf of Plymouth Colony In a letter written 18 June 1636 Jonathan gave notice to John Winthrop, Governor of the fort at Saybrook, of the evil designs of the Pequots. On his return to Duxbury, he was active in the settlement of the town. Duxbury, incorporated, 7 June 1637. Records indicate that he served as a surveyor, laid out highways, practiced as an attorney, and was styled a “gentleman.” He served as a military commissioner in the Pequot War of 1637. He was on a committee to raise forces during the Narragansett Alarm of 1642, and was a member of Captain Myles Standish’s Duxbury Company in 1643. He served as Deputy to General Court 1639, 1641, 1643-1644.
In 1638, Jonathan Brewster established a ferry service to transport passengers and cattle across the North River. In 1641, he sold this to Messrs. Barker, Howell and others. He also practiced as an attorney and was the master and owner of a coasting vessel plying as far south as Virginia. This was evidently unprofitable, according to a letter written by Roger Williams to John Winthrop, Jr.:
“Sir, (although Mr. Brewster write me not a word of it) yet in private I am bold to tell you that I hear it hath pleased God greatly to afflict him in the thorne of his life: He was intended for Virginia, his creditors in the Bay came to Portsmouth and unhung his rudder, carried him to the bay, where he was forced to make over house, land, cattle, and part with all to his chest. Oh how sweet is a dry morsel and a handful, with quietness from earth & heaven.”
Sometime before Sept 1649 he moved to Connecticut, being appointed town clerk of Pequot (New London) and obtained a grant of land from the Mohegan Sachem, Uncas, in that town, still known as Brewster's Neck, from which he operated a trading post with the Indians." (Brewster Book, by Milton Terry, 1985.) Because Jonathan had set up his trading post without the authority of the local government, he was censured, but the deed was confirmed by the town on 30 November 1652.
He died 7 Aug. 1659 in New London, Connecticut. His widow, Lucretia died at Parston, New London, Connecticut 4 Mar 1678. Jonathan and Lucretia are both buried in Brewster Cemetery, Brewster’s Neck, Preston, Connecticut. A monument was erected there in their memory by their descendants.
