    See Martha's Vineyard History for more details of his life and offices, which are "interwoven with the political and social conditions of the Island," [Martha's Vineyard History 1:104-26, 2:30, 3:299-301].

    In his will, dated 16 June 1681 and proved 28 March 1682, "Thomas Mayhew of Edgartown upon the Vineyard in this ninetieth year of my age" divided his extensive lands on Martha's Vineyard and elsewhere among "Matthew Mayhew, my grandson" (with conditional provisions for "Thomas and John Mayhew, Jerusha and Jedidah"), "my daughter Hannah" and "her sons Samuel, John and Joshua Daggett," "my daughter Martha," "Thomas and John Harlock, and their sister at Boston," naming also to "my son Daggett" and 'my son Tupper" [Dukes LR A:326-32].

    COMMENTS: The likelihood that Thomas Mayhew came to New England in 1632 raises an interesting possibility, based on an Admiralty suit of that year. In the case of 'Mason v. Gibbs', two sailors testified that the Lyon's Whelp sailed from England in January 1631/2 and arrived at the Isles of Shoals in May 1632, and carried as its only passengers "a man and his wife, their two daughters and their man," and one of the sailors added that this nameless family "were embarked for New England on behalf of Matthew Craddock [English Adventurers 37-38]. Thomas Mayhew is known to have come to New England as Matthew Craddock's steward [Martha's Vineyard History 1:117-26].

    In 1901 Charles Edward Banks published the English ancestry of Gov. Thomas Mayhew [Gen Adv 4:1-8]. BONNY - FIND THIS.
