Notes
General:
He entered Harvard at the age of 19 in 1713, he loved and studied extensively the courses of mathematics and astronomy. In both 1718 & 1719 he published Almanacs in his own name. He calculated the great eclipse of 1806, which his son Robert Treat Paine found to be exact. He was proficient in the study of Latin, Greek, Hebrew and French and graduated in July 1717. In August he started his sudies of divinity with Rev. Theophilus Banard of Andover. Ill health caused him to withdraw from the ministry in Nov. 1730 and move to Boston, though his connection with the church as pastor wasn't severed until April 15, 1734. He then took up commercial persuits , and carried on trade between the Southern Provinces, West Indies, the port of Halifax, England, and other ports in foreign countries, and soon became wealthy. He also was engaged in the manufacture of cannons and casting shot, & c., and had foundries in Abington and Bridgewater. In the summer of 1749 the capture of some of his vessels and the disastrous state of the currency and business he lost most everything. He tried to return to the study and practice of law in Halifax, England but his bad health caused him to move to the home of his daughter Abigail Greenleaf in Germantown, Braintree, Massachusetts where he soon died.Marriage Notes (Eunice Treat)
Thomas was minister at Weymouth 1719 through 1734 26
"Thomas-4 Paine, son of James-3 and Bethia Paine of Barnstable, was born April 9, 1694. At an early age he was placed under Rev. Mr. Russell of Barnstable, for preparation for college, and in 1713, at the ago of 19, he entered Harvard. He applied himself to the college studies, and manifested great taste for mathematics and astronomy, and studied these branches much beyond the college course of that time. To such an extent did he pursue these studies that in 1718 and in 1719, he published Almanacs in his own name. He calculated the great eclipse of 1806, which his son, Hon. R. T. Paine, found to have been exact. Besides these studies he made great proficiency in the study of Latin, Greek, Hebrew and French, and graduated in July, 1717, but with what rank is not known. But having shown early an evident predilection for the ministry, in August following he applied himself to the study of divinity with Rev. Theophilus Barnard of Andover. After completing his studies, he received a call to settle in the ministry at Weymouth. This call he accepted, and on the 19th of August, 1719, was ordained. Here he labored until ill health obliged him to withdraw from the ministry, and on the 5th of November, 1830, he removed to Boston ; though his connection with the church as pastor was not severed until April 15, 1734. He now entered into commercial pursuits, and carried on trade between the Southern Provinces, West Indies, the port of Halifax, England, and other ports in foreign countries, and soon became wealthy. He also was engaged in the manufacture of cannons and casting shot, &c, and had foundries in Abington and Bridgewater. In the summer of 1749, just as his son, Robert-4 Treat, had graduated at Harvard, by the capture of some of his vessels and the disastrous state of the currency and business his affairs became involved, and his property was swept away. His health now becoming impaired, he made a voyage to the West Indies, and upon his return went to Halifax to reside. Turning his attention from commercial matters, he studied law and prepared himself to practice, but the state of his health was such that he was compelled to leave, and he returned to the residence of his daughter, Abigail Greenleaf, at Germantown, in Braintree, Mass., where shortly afterwards he died, May 30, 1757, aged 63, and was buried at Weymouth. "He was a man of great talents, learning, industry and piety."
He was but once married. His wife was Eunice Treat, the youngest daughter of Rev. Samuel Treat of Eastham, to whom he was married at Boston, April 21, 1721, when she was but sixteen years of age. She died Oct. 17, 1747, in her 43d year. By her, Rev. Thomas Paine had:
1. Abigail-5 born at Weymouth, March 6,1725, married Joseph Greenleaf, Oct. 17, 1749, and died Jan. 15, 1810, aged 83, leaving five children.
2. Robert Treat-5 born Oct. 9, 1727, died Oct. 21, 1727.
3. Thomas-5 born July 3,1729, died Aug. 19,1730.
4. Hon. Robert Treat-5 born in Boston, March 11, 1731, mar. Sally Cobb of Taunton, dau. of Thomas Cobb, Esq., in 1770, and died at Boston, May 11, 1814. His wife died June 6, 1816, aged 76. He studied at Boston Latin School, and graduated at Harvard in 1749. He was one of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, and a Judge of the Supreme Court. He had eight children. Three of his sons were educated at Harvard and became lawyers.
5. Eunice-5 born May 11, 1733, died unmarried, Feb. 1803. 27

"THOMAS PAINE OF EASTHAM AND POSTERITY.
[Communicated by Josiah Paine, Harwich, Mass.]
1. Thomas Paine, the ancestor of the "Cape family of Paines," immigrated to this country, as tradition has it, in 1624, bringing with him an only son bearing the name of Thomas\emdash a lad of ten years who had lost the sight of one of his eyes by an arrow before he left his native clime. From what part of England they came, the traditional accounts in the several branches of the family differ. The branch from which the late Robert Treat Paine, the illustrious signer of the Declaration of Independence, descended, has it, " North of England"; while several of the other branches have it, " Kent"\emdash probably meaning the County. In what vessel they came, or at what place they landed upon the coast, tradition as well as records is silent. The general belief, however, is that they came over in some of those vessels that early visited the Eastern coast for fishing purposes. Of what became of the father there is nothing positively known. By some he is supposed to have been the Thomas Paine who settled at Yarmouth in 1639, and who was the first deputy from that place to the Colony Court at Plymouth ; and who was living at that place as late as 1650.
2. Thomas Paine the son\emdash " the lad who had lost the sight of one of his eyes "\emdash about 1650 married Mary, daughter of Nicholas and Constance Snow of Eastham, and granddaughter of Stephen Hopkins the Pilgrim, who came over in the Mayflower, 1620, and settled in that part of Eastham now included in the town of Orleans, on the place at the head of the Cove, called by the Indians " Kesscayogansett," and now owned and occupied by James Percival. At the time of his settlement here the township was in its infancy\emdash having been settled but a few years, and the whole number of families did not exceed nineteen. He soon became a leading man in the settlement, and was shortly called into public service. He was propounded at Plymouth, and admitted a freeman, June 1, 1658. In 1662, with Giles Hopkins, he was chosen surveyor of highways, and in 1664 a Juror ; and June 8, a deputy to the Old Colony Court, an oflBce for which he was chosen in 1671, '72, '73, '76, '78, '80, '81 and 1690. In 1667, with several others of his townsmen, he was chosen to investigate the cause of the death of Robert Chappell, James Nichols and James Pidell, of the company of Capt. John Allen, who were put ashore at Cape Cod. In 1667, he was allowed liberty to look out some land for his accommodation, and in June, 1669, he was allowed a tract at Namassakett by the Court, with Experience Michell, Henry Sampson and Thomas Little. The tract was conveyed to these gentlemen by Tuscapin or Black Sachem, and his son William, July 20, 1669, in consideration of ten pound sterling. This tract adjoined the land of John Alden, and bordered on Assowamsett Ponds. During the following year he was, with Jonathan Sparrow, appointed to visit the ordinaries in town, and see that there was no excessive drinking; and the same year was one of the Grand Inquest. On the 5th of June, 1671, he was chosen to the office of Water Bailiff for the Colony, and sworn. This office was created for the purpose of regulating fishing at Cape Cod, and places adjacent, which at thai time was carried on quite successfully by the people of this and other Colonies, without any regard to the interest of the Old Colony, and to recover such sums as the Court should order from those who fished here ; and also to seize all fish that were taken unlawfully. In this office he served many years to the acceptance of the Court. The same year he was chosen one of the Selectmen of Eastham, and re-elected for a great number of years. Having on the 2d of May, 1620, purchased of Thomas Prince of Plymouth, for £20, his share of land at Pamett, lying about " Lovell's Creek" or " Eastern Harbour," he again, June 1, 1673, for fifteen pounds, purchased all the right that Jabez Howland had to upland and meadow in the same vicinity. The following year, 1674, he was chosen Constable of Eastham, and in 1676 was chosen a committee by the town to superintend the building of the Meeting-house. On the 13th of July, 1677, with Mr. Huckins of Barnstable, Mr. Gray of Plymouth, and the Treasurer of the Colony, Mr. Southworth, he hired the fishing privileges and profits at the Cape for seven years\emdash paying the sum of thirty pounds a year. From 1674 to 1694, he was Treasurer of the town, and for several years during the time was Clerk. In 1696 he represented Eastham in the General Court at Boston ; and on the fourteenth of March the same year, he purchased of Thomas Stableford, a joiner, who had taken up his residence in Philadelphia, his house and land at Boston, at the South End, paying one hundred and thirty-five pounds, and took up his residence. But selling out for the same sum to Eleazer Darby, a mariner, Oct. 13, 1697, he removed to Eastham, where he had for so many years of his life resided, and retired from public service in which he had been employed for nearly a half century, and died August 16, 1706, at the supposed age of 94 years. His death is thus noticed by his son John' in his Journal which is still extant:\emdash " On this 16 day of August, 1706, my aged father Thomas Paine departed this life. I am now left fatherless and motherless, as to my natural parents, but my God is a Father of the fatherless upon whose Providence I cast myself. 0 ! God my Father do not cast me off. Though my father and mother have forsaken me my hope is in Thee."
The wife of Thomas Paine departed this life several years before his decease, and her death is thus noticed by her son in his journal:\emdash "On the 28 day of April, 1704, my honored mother, Mary Paine, departed this life\emdash being suddenly taken and struck with death. She having beeu in reasonable health all day was taken ill about sunset so that she never after spoke reasonable; but gradually decaying gave up the ghost about the dawning of the day." As a wife, mother, neighbor and Christian much has been said in her praise.
By trade, Thomas4 Paine was a cooper as he affirmed, but he appears to have had a knowledge of the other branches of mechanism, for he could as easily build a mill for grinding as he could fashion a barrel. He constructed several in various parts of the County in his time. For his " great cliarges about building two grist-mills for the use of the town," Eastham, in 1683, granted him a parcel of land on the northerly side of " Cescayogansett River." The same year he built one at Barnstable. He made his will May 12, 1705, and it was presented at Barnstable for Probate, by his sons, Samuel and Thomas, the Executors, October 2, 1706.
By his wife Mary, Thomas Paine had :
1. Mary, who married 1st, James Rogers, son of Joseph, one of the Pilgrim band, January 11, 1670 ; 2d, Israel Cole, son of Daniel, April 24, 1674.
2. Samuel, who married Patience, dau. of Major John and Mary Freeman, Jan. 31, 1682, and who died Oct. 13, 1712.
3. Thomas, born about the year 1657, married for his first wife Hannah, dau. of Jonathan Shaw of Plymouth, Aug. 5,1678 ; she dying July 24, 1713, he again married for his second wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Eairs of Boston, March 8,1714-15, and died June 23, 1721, aged 64 years.
4. Eleazer, born March 10, 1658, who died young. [apparently = Elisha]
