      3. THOMAS BARBER,2 (Thomas,1) b. July 14, 1644; m. Dec. 17, 1663, Mary Phelps, who was b. Mch. 2, 1644. She was the dau. of William Phelps, Sr., known as "Ould Mr. Phelps," and his second wife, Mary (Dover) Phelps.

      The old Windsor records show that in 1664, Thomas Barber2 bought land in Windsor "whereon he builded, the lot of Samuel Pond, except about 1 1/2 acres next to Silver Street on which Pond's house stood, and which doubtless faced the Hollow Fall Road."

      Other records show that Thomas and his brothers John and Samuel were among the original grantees of Simsbury, having received a portion of the "Meadow Lands" lying along the River Massaco, under an order of the General Court, of Hartford, of December, 1666, which stipulated that "within two years the

      person to whom granted should improve them by plowing, mowing, building, fencing, etc."

      In 1669 Massaco was set off from Windsor and made a separate township under the name of Simsbury, to which Thomas and his brother Samuel, with their families, removed in 1670 or 1671, and began improving the lands at that place which they had inherited from their father Thomas.1

      Thomas Barber2 was lieutenant of the first military company of Simsbury, and was known as Lieut. Thomas. He built the first saw-mill and grist-mill in Simsbury, also the first church, regarding the location of which there was some contention among the settlers, which was finally decided by lot, and the location fixed in the southern end of Terry's Plains.

      Thomas Barber died in Simsbury, May 10, 1713. His estate was valued at œ488 18s 3d.
