For his first wife he married, August 5, 1678, Hannah, dau. of Jonathan Shaw of Plymouth ; she dying at Truro, July 24, 1713, aged 51, he again married Mrs. Elizabeth Eairs of Boston, March 8, 1714-15. He took the freeman's oath June 6, 1684. In 1690, having purchased of his father the several tracts of land at Pamet or Truro, whicb he had purchased of Gov. Prence and Jabez Howland, be became a proprietor, and between this time and 1705, removed to the north side of Little Pamet River, and settled. When Truro became a township, he was elected one of the first selectmen, and was re-elected for several years. In 1710, he succeeded John Snow as Clerk and Treasurer, and received his commission as Justice of the Peace. He was the proprietors' Clerk of Truro many years, and the records kept by him are well written, and yet remain in a good state of preservation. On the 5th of July, 1713, he was appointed a special Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, an office which he held for several years. Before the incorporation of Truro, he was the selectman of Eastham for several years, having been first chosen in 1695. In 1697, with his two brothers, Samuel and John, he was chosen selectman, but he declined. After this year he was again chosen, and served several years. In 1696, he was chosen Clerk of the same township, and re-elected several years afterwards. He served both towns as a Representative. His death occurred at the age of 64, June 23, 1721, and he lies buried in the old burying ground in Truro, where stones mark the spot. His wife survived him, and was living in Bellingham, very aged, in 1754. The will of Thomas Paine was written April 6, 1720, and was presented at Probate Court July 4, 1721. The staff of Thomas which is said to have been brought over from England, is now extant in Truro, and is held by the oldest of the name in the town.
