About Thomas Follansbee, of Newbury
The first record of the Follansbee name in the American colonies was from "Thomas Follansbee, of Newbury, to one Stephen Greenle af, Feb. 16th, 1690, half of 5 acres, it being the rate lot." It seems that he had bought land, but his deed or deeds were not put upon record. The second deed was to "Thomas Follansbee from Moses Chase, his brother-in-law, November 21st, 1698, in the tenth year of his majesty's reign." The third deed found was from "Thomas Huse, Thomas Bancroft, wives and others, to Thomas Follansbee, Dec. 14th, 1700; the rate lot, 11 acres; the year of the reign of King Wil liam, the Third."
Thomas Follansbee is said to have lived at Portsmouth from 1665 to 1671, at which time he moved to Newbury, Massachusetts. There is record of a deed of Thomas Follansbee to his son-in-law, Thomas Chase in 1711.
Thomas Follansbee's occupation was described in old records as a "joiner" or carpenter. He finished the Portsmouth church and schoolhouse, where he is first recorded as living in New England. In 1671 he moved from Great Island to Strawberry Bank where he rented a house from Abraham Corbett. The Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire describes his experience there as follows, "when Mr. Henry Dering, also removing to Strawberry Bank, hired the same house under a better title, whereupon the sheriffs turned Thomas Follansbee out without notice in the depth of winter with no habitation provided for his wife and many small children." He moved from Portsmouth to Newbury, MA about 1677.310 In 1711, Thomas Follansbee, "joiner" sold his homestead in Newbury to his son-in-law Thomas Chase, house carpenter. Chase in turn sold the same property to his son Aquila in 1713.
Family
From http://stanleyhistory.net/descnarratives/ThomasFollansbee.htm
Our Follansbee lineage commences with immigrant Thomas Follansbee who was born in 1637 per disposition made in November 1678 when he stated he was 41 years old when he took his Oath of Allegiance at Newbury, Ma.
He was born in England and maybe of Stepney, London. He died in 1713+ and maybe as late as 1726.
He married, as his first wife, prior to 1660, at Portsmouth, NH or maybe England, Mary (–) who was born in 1639 in England and died, assuming that she was the mother of all of Thomas’s children, 10 April 1680+ in Newbury,Ma.
Thomas married, as his second wife, on 10 April 1680+ at Newbury, Sarah (–) who died 06 November 1683 at Newbury.
Thomas, married as his third wife, on 04 April 1713 at Newbury, Jane Moseman of Boston.
The thirty year hiatus between his second and third marriage gives pause for thought. The ancestries of Mary (–), Sarah (-), and Jane Moseman are unknown."
