Thomas Faxon3, (Richard2, Thomas1,) b. in Braintree, Aug. 2, 1662, son of Richard2 and Elizabeth Faxon, m. Mary, dau. of Nathaniel and Susanna (Bates) Blanchard of Weymouth, b. Dec. 1, 1662. He was a farmer, and at the death of his grandfather, who left him the residue of his estate, owned stock named in the inventory. (Inventory of estate of Thomas1, App. [p. 315]) He was forced to join the unfortunate expedition of Sir William Phipps. Before it sailed for Canada the small pox broke out, and Thomas3 fell a victim to it. He left a will, the original of which is carefully preserved in the files of Suffolk Probate. It is published in the Appendix [p. 317, see elsewhere on this page for an abstract] as an important piece of evidence in regard to the earlier generations of the family. He died, 1690, and was buried at Weymouth, Mass. He seems to have been a sergeant. The amount of his inventory is £385 13s.
