    “Thomas Marston, eldest son of William, Sr., was born in England (probably Yorkshire county), about May or June, 1627, and came to Salem, Mass., with his father in 1634, and went with him to Newbury about 1637; thence to Hampton, N. H., in October, 1638, where he married Mary Estow about 1647, a daughter of Wm. Estow, Esq. Being past twenty-one years of age, it is very probable that he had a grant of land from the General Court, as did the other pioneers; then he bought land of John Sanborn, May 25, 1645, and leased a house and lot from Robert Knight, which formerly belonged to Robert Marston, Oct. 5, 1653 (see deeds.) The provincial records show that he was a capable and highly esteemed citizen, and was prominent in the twon’s buisness affairs, and in all matters appertaining to the interests of the community. He died testate, in Hampton, Sept. 28, 1690, aged seventy-three years and bout seven months.
