- According to Deane and the Hingham history, he was in Hingham, Massachusetts by 1637.
According to the Hingham history, "Thomas, had a grant of land in Hingham at 'Goose Point,' 1637. On Apr. 13, 1646, he sold his est. here, consisting of five acres of land with a dw. house thereon, which was located where St. Paul's Catholic Church now stands, to John Otis, Sr., together with two acres in the Broad Cove meadows, and twelve acres beyond Crooked Meadow Bridge, which has previously been granted and laid out to him by the town. In 1659 he complete a contract for finishing a 'barke' at Boston, and prob. removed from here about that time, or shortly after. In 1644 a Thomas Turner was one of four young men who were permitted to build a gallery in the first meeting-house, but whether it was this Thomas or his s[on] is a problem for investigation. Deane's history [of Scituate] says the name aft[erward]s appears in Scit[uate]." [1, 2, 3]
