His house stood about 100 feet from Ashmont street in Tolman's land. He died 12 Sept, 1718, age 85/ Elizabeth died 15 Dec 1726.
Thomas (b. 1633) was the son of Thomas Tolman, born in England in 1608 or 09. There is a tradition in the family that he came to Dorchester, MA, with the first settlers in the ship "Mary & John", in 1690, and that he owned land extending from the seaside to Dedham line. He was the owner of lands, also, in what is now Canton, Stoughton, and Sharon. The first mention of him, on the Dorchester town Records, is under date of 31 Oct 1639, as followS: "It is ordered that Goodman Tolman's houses be appointed for the receiving any goods that shall be brought in whereof the owner is not known." His name is appended to the Church Covenant, made in 1636; freeman 13 May 1640, He located nera "Pine Neck," now "Port Norfolk," his house having ttood within one hundred feet of Pine Neck Creek, on the west side and on the north side within about two hundred feet, the creek forming there an elbow shape. In 1852, the Old Colony Railroad Corporation removed the most of the cellar once belonging to the house. The land remaining is in possession of one of the branches of the family. The house in which his son Thomas afterwards lived, between what is now Ashmont and Washington streets, was probably built by him. Some of his descendants now own and reside on land that belonged to him. It has remained ever since in the family. The first wife of Thomas was Sarah; his second wife was Katherine, who died 7 Nov 1677. He died 8 June 1690, in his 82nd year.
