CAPTAIN JOHN HOLBROOK, son of Thomas and Jane ((???)) Holbrook, was
born at Broadway, England, in 1617, and came to America with his
father in 1624, from Weymouth, Dorsetshire. He married Sarah ((???)),
and settled at Weymouth. She died January 14, 1643-4. For his second
wife he married Elizabeth Stream, daughter of Elizabeth Stream, a
widow. He lived in that part of Weymouth known as "Old Spain." In 1648
he was chosen selectman, and from 1651 to 1673, he was six times
chosen representative. He was an enterprising business man and a large
holder of real estate, owning land in Scituate and Braintree as well
as at Weymouth. He also owned a house in Boston. In Braintree he owned
the eastern portion, about 600 acres, of the tract of 3,000 acres
granted by Boston in January, 1644, to the "Company of Undertakers for
the Iron Works." In 1681 the new school-house was built on land bought
of him at Braintree. He was prominent in military affairs, and active
during the King Philip war. In 1664, as lieutenant of the local
company, he was chosen to go upon some service in Captain Hudson's
command, but sickness in his family prevented. In the spring of 1676
he was appointed captain of one of the companies raised and sent out
to suppress the "insolencies" of the Indians, and "to range the woods
towards Hassanamesit" (above the Merrimac). In a report to his
superiors, made April 29, 1676, he complained that his company was not
up to the quota, and unless the ranks could be filled, he asked to be
dismissed. "I have neither drume nor collors which I desire that if
you think it fitt to send me either houe-boye or drumpiter which is
very requisitt." His second wife died June 25, 1688, and he then
married Mary Loring, who survived him. He died at Weymouth, November
23, 1699, leaving a large estate to his numerous heirs.
