before April 28, 1614 (chr. date). Rachel died after 22 Mar

1685 in probably, Braintree, MA, at age 70.

Quincy, now Norfolk Co, MA.(53) His name is found first in the

parish registers at Sudbury. No other Newcomes appear in the

Sudbury parishes. The naming pattern of his children accurately

reflects his wife's parents, and indicate that his parents

might have been John and Hannah. According to a passenger list

of April 5, 1635, now in London, he came to New England on the

ship "Planter". Since many of the other emigrants on that

vessel were from St. Albans in Hertfordshire, many researchers

had speculated that he had come from there. After his arrival,

he stayed in Boston for three years, and then settled in Mt.

Wallaston, later called Braintree, in an area that is now in

Quincy.
