"Thomas Woolson was born in Newton, Massachusetts, in 1626 or 1627. He settled in that part of Watertown now called Weston and was the owner of considerable land. As illustrating the laws of the time, it may be mentioned that on December 15, 1685, Thomas Woolson was fined twenty shillings and costs, eight shillings, also one hour in the stocks for selling drink without a license. He soon after obtained his license and kept an inn from 1686 to 1708. He was evidently a man of considerable standing for he was selectman in 1699, 1700, 1702, and 1703. On November 20, 1660, Thomas Woolson married Sarah Hyde, daughter of Deacon Samuel and Temperance Hyde, of Newton, Massachusetts, who was born May 19, 1644. They had six children: Sarah, Thomas, Elizabeth, Mary, Joseph, whose sketch follows; and Nathaniel Thomas Woolson died in Sudbury, Massachusetts, April 5, 1713, and his widow died September 11, 1721.
