    Notes:

    William Macomber was a cooper by trade. 18-28 May 1665, James Cooke of
    Plymouth, Massachusetts sold to William Macomber, Jr. of Marshfield,
    Massachusetts, one fourth of a share of land at Dartmouth, given to him by his
    deceased father, Francis Cooke.

    The lot mentioned was in the present town of Westport, Massachusetts, and
    embraced what is now a part of the village of Westport Point. It was bounded
    easterly by the main road and westerly by the west branch of Westport River.
    This original farm of one hundred and forty or more acres has been considerably
    divided, but a part of the same was (in 1908) still in the possession of the
    Macomber family, being owned by Charles F. Macmober.

    The Will of William Macomber, dated 10 April 1711, and probated 2 July 1711,
    names his wife Mary and all his children whose births are found in the town
    records of Dartmouth, Massachusetts.

    Notes:

    William was in Duxbury in 1638.

    William was cooper licensed to dwell within the government, at Plymouth or
    elsewhere, upon the testimony of his good behavior he hath brought with him.
    Plymouth Colony Records, Vol. I. p 82.

    This is the first mention of William Macomber in America. The testimony of
    good behavior is likely to have been obtained from the person whom he served
    hist apprenticeship in learning the trade of cooper. The date of the above
    record is April 2, 1638.

    Under date of 3 September 1638, are found the following records: "William
    Maycumber, a cooper, is graunted an island lying on the north side Powder
    Poynt, & containing about three or four acres of land, provided that the
    committees of Ducborrow doe consent thereunto, and that he doe not stop the
    townes cattle from the fresh water thereupon," and "Liberty is graunted to
    Will'm Maycumber, cooper, to fetch tymber to make hoopes of for vessels for the
    colonies use at Clarks Island and Sagaquash." Plymouth Colony Records, Vol. I.
    p 95.

    3 August 1640, "Will'm Maycumber is granted the wood fit for coopery growing
    upon Wood Island, to be used by him so long as he followeth his trade, and
    forbidding all others to cutt there except for the loading of boats and
    vessells to carry away the hay." Plymouth Colony Records, Vol. I. p 159.

    He settled in Marshfield, Massachusetts. In 1644 he was fined for speaking
    against the Indians. He was a surveyor in Marshfield in 1653.

    A sworn statement, made March 1, 1655, gives his age as 45 years. He was,
    therefore, born in 1610. Tradition says that he was brother to John Macomber
    of Taunton. In favor of this is the following:

    "Aug. 20, 1644, William Maycomber of Duxborrow --------- sent forth to bring in
    John Macomber for non-appearance for making allarum at Taunton." See
    Proprietors' Records at Taunton.
