Researcher's Note*

They resided in the northern part of Eastham, and the births of their first three children are recorded there. The baptisms of heir other six children are recorded in the Congregational Church at Truro, 2 June 1717. At a meeting of proprietors of Pamet Lands, 2 July 1703, three or four acres of land near the swamp above Thomas Newcomb's were granted to Michael Atwood. In Pratt's history of Eastham, Thomas is said to have been son of Simeon Newcomb, but no evidence has been found going to show that such was the case. Mr. Newcomb's name is upon an original petition from the inhabitants of Billingsgate, alias North Eastham, to the legislature, 1723, concerning attendance on public worship, the petition now on file in Mass. Archives. There is no record of the settlement of Mr. Newcomb's estate. Elizabeth Newcomb of Provincetown, whose estate was administered upon in 1776 by James Pratt of Boston, may have been widow of Thomas Newcomb.
