NINTH GENERATION

502. Thomas Cousins (10174) (10175)(10176) (10177) was born about 1649.(10178) (10179) In 1684 Thomas Cousins had a grant of land from the town of Wells, comprising one hundred acres west of the river which forms the present boundary between Wells and Kennebunk and southeast of the post-road. All of the settlers on this side of Wells
were driven out by the Indians in 1690, the Storer garrison, over three miles to the south, being the most northerly place that was held against them. It is entirely probable that Thomas Cousins and his wife, whose name is unknown, lost their lives
during these troublous times. Their children were in possession of the farm in 1717. Children were:

child251 i. Elizabeth Cousins.
child ii. John Cousins(10180) died before 11 May 1715.(10181) (10182)
child iii. Hannah Cousins(10183) (10184)(10185) (10186).
child iv. Ichabod Cousins(10187) (10188) was born in 1688.(10189)
