"Thomas (2), eldest son of Thomas (l) and Ann Flint, followed the carpenter's trade in connection with fanning and was the owner of real estate to the amount of nine hundred acres, from which he allotted a farm to each of his three sons. He inherited and occupied the homestead established by his father. Strong in his religious faith, he labored diligently and effectively for the establishment of the first church in Salem Village, and that he was considered the most skillful mechanic among the settlers is attested by the fact that they selected him to superintend the construction of their first meeting house. In King Philip's war he served in Captain Gardner's company, which participated in the expedition against the Narragansett Indians in 1675, and he was wounded. He was afterwards an officer in the Salem Village company. May 22, 1666, he married Hannah Moulton. who died in 1672. leaving two children, Abigail and George. September 22, 1674, he married for his second wife Mary Dounton. and the children of this union were: Thomas, Mary, Ebenezer, William, Elizabeth and Jonathan."
