About Thomas Buxton

From _Massachusetts and Maine Families in the Ancestry of Walter Goodwin Davis (1885-1966)_, by Walter Goodwin Davis with an Introduction by Gary Boyd Roberts, Genealogical Publishing Co, Inc., Baltimore, Maryland, 1996, pp. 1:248-49:

Apparently Anthony Buxton came to America with an uncle or cousin, William Vinson who was about his age, and Vincent's William Vinson's mother for in Roger Conant's list of grantees of marsh lands, probably made in December, 1637, William Vincent, Vincent's mother and "Vincet's coin [cousin] Antho: Bucstone" are successive entries. Some years later he was joined by his brother, Thomas Buxton, who was certainly in Salem by 1648.
Thomas, apparently a widower, died in 1654 and Anthony was appointed to admister his estate. The court directed that he pay to the three children of Thomas, who were in England, £21, and that the remainder be divided between Anthony and his children. The inventory totaled only £52, the chieff item being "eleven acres of land with a little house on it lying in the north neck."
