Answer #8833 - 1. Liscomb. A William Luscombe (spelled Luscom) was in Scarboro with a wife Susanna in 1669, named in Church matters and court records in 1674, being Episcopalians, and not constant in attendance at the Puritan meetings.

The Luscomb Family
First Generation
William Luscomb, the first of the name in Salem, MA, was a cooper, and appears on the county deeds, 4 Dec. 1680, when he bought of Mark Haskell of Beverly, MA for £27, "a row of houses in which John Blygh now liveth next ye Meeting house, . . . the land formerly pertaining to Abigail Lord." This estate was settled by installments, the last being paid 1 Feb. 1686 by his wife Susannah, during her husband's absence in England.
There is no date of his death, or settlement of his estate.

- p. 96 -
from May 1952, Hobbies - The Magazine for Collectors, p. 157 -
There were two Luscombe families in MA in late 1600s, but they did not hold office.
William Luscombe was a cooper and appears in county deeds in Salem in 1680. He made several trips to England, and lived also in Lynn.

Letter from Charles S. Liscom to Margaret A. McLallen, 5 April 1937 [orignal written in pencil) -
An Earle Luscombe [Earle-Luscombe?] line in Maine at Black Point Garrison, then at time of Indian troubles retiring to Salem, has been written up in the [Driver] Genealogy. Family was headed by Wm. Luscombe, first appearing around 1675, I think.
Wm. Luscombe died in old England while on a visit.

Refs. to research done in England, inc. Calendar of Devon Wills and Administration showing Luscombs 1546-1800 at least Consistory Court Bishop of Exeter which had jurisdiciton of 37 Parishes.
[NOTE: Report of William's death in England is apparently based on seeing his will/testament prior to World War II. All early wills/testaments were destroyed by bombing during World War II, all that currently remains is the Calendar of Wills.]

Consistory Court of the Bishop of Exeter had jurisdiction over 37 parishes in Devon and Cornwall, as well as power to grant Probates of Wills per testes over the whole Diocese when there were not bona notabilia within two or more jurisdictions.
