    Thomas was a constable in 1648 and on the Grand Jury in 1643 and 1656. On 5 Dec. 1652 a grant was
    made to William Furbur, William Wentworth, Henry Langstar and Thomas Canney for "the
    accommodations of fresh Creeke, for the erecting and settinge up of a sawmill. The bounds of the Timber
    are from the head of the Creeke from the flowinge of the tide three miles up into the woods betwixt the two
    freshetts, the southermost freshett cominge out of the Marsh beside the Great Hill at Cochecho, the
    northermost freshett boundinge Captaine Wiggins & Mr. Bradstreet's grant at Quomphegon, and also what

    Timber lyes in common that they shall make use of betwixt fresh Creeke and Cochecha: They are to pay six
    pounds p yeare so lone as they continue possession thereof." Also on the same date the same men were
    granted "the whole neck of Land from Sentalbons his Cove to the head of fresh Creeke, and so to Cochecha
    Point: excepting a former Grant made to William Pomfrett. Capt. Richard Walderne is to have and injoy the
    one halfe of this grant, & the other halfe to the fore mentioned foare men." This was the neck or point
    formed by the junction of Fresh Creeke and the Newichawannock. (2) He has a grant of 16 acres of upland
    on 6 Dec. 1656 to be laid out adjoining "his perches (purchase) at Tomson's Poynt". This land was laid out
    from "the outmost point turning up to Cochecho 50 rods to the long creek westward below Tomson's poynt
    butting on Fore river, thence running three score and ten rods up the long crek side, reserving a cartway
    from the woods to the water side at the head of the creek, and up Cochecho river three score and ten rods,
    and thence on a straight line over to the bound at the head of the long creek".(1) "Canney's Creek" or Cove
    is an inlet from the Pascataqua River on the eastern shore of Newington and was one of the bounds of
    Ancient Dover being first mentioned in 1657 when the lower bounds of Dover were defined as running
    "from Kenney's Creeke to Hogsty Cove".(3) In 1652 he was the adminstrator of Henry Plympton's estate.
    In 1671 he had moved to York but then went back to Dover. He was last mentioned in June 1681 when he
    was in court for intoxication. Thomas was excused by the court from militia training due to the loss of his
    sight.
