  • Notes 


    • On 7 March 1714/5 Ebenezer Tinkham and John Thomson, both of
      Middleborough, sold to their brother John Tinkum of Dartmouth one
      whole share of both upland and meadow in Dart-mouth. The 7 March
      1714/5 deed clearly proves John was alive on that date.
      On 15 Jan. 1739 John Tinkcom of Dartmouth was appoint-ed administrator
      on the estate of his father John Tinkham late of Dartmouth, yeoman,
      deceased and on 18 Harch 1739 Hezekiah and Martha Tinkcom, children of
      John Tinkham last of Dartmouth deceased, both over 14 years, chose
      Henry Sampson of Dart-mouth, yeoman, their guardian. On the same day
      Peter Tinkcom also over 14, another son of John of Dartmouth chose
      (his brother-in-law) Joseph Taber as guardian. Inventory of the estate
      included a homestead of about 258 acres on the east side of the
      Acushnet River in what would eventually become New Bedford and then
      Fairhaven. On 20 April 1741 the estate was divided among eldest son
      John, sons Peter and Hezekiah, daughter Mary Taber and daughter Martha
      Tinkcom. (This is in the probate file but not copied into the Probate
      Record Book.)
      On 15 Oct. 1757 Sarah Tinkham of Dartmouth, county of Bristol, widow
      and relict of John Tinkham late of Dartmouth, sued her daughter Martha
      Ellis and her husband Joseph Ellis of Dartmouth, cordwainer, for
      payment due on the estate.
      On 9 May 1758 Sarah Tinkcom, mother of Martha Ellis, quitclaimed her
      rights to land, ack. 10 April 1759.
