ELEVENTH GENERATION

1472. Thomas Webber (20719) was born on 5 Dec 1604 in Bideford, co. Devon, England. He was a mariner. "Was a mariner of Boston as early as 1644 if not sooner, and the master of the sloop
"Mayflower", while still resident in England in 1652. He may have been related to the
Thomas Webber who was a Puritan and Adventurer-- in fact, they could be one and the
same man. By 1660 there were approximately 8 known ships bearing the name 'Mayflower.'
The ship mentioned above is not the same 'Mayflower' of 1620...At one time, some
unscrupulous individuals attempted to make some fast money from the descendants of
Thomas Webber, Sr. Apparently, he once held a deed to land in N.Y., probably at a time
when it was New Netherland. He may have taken land land deeds in payment for goods that
had been shipped into the new world. At any rate, some sly genius calculated that this land
was now in the heart of New York City and persuaded the descendants to band together to
claim 1 foot of land on Wall Street. However, after investigating, it was found that Thomas
Webber's claim to any land in NY took place so long ago that it was impossible to describe
the present land, let alone prove that his right existed. Needless to say, many descendants
lost a great deal of money in legal and investigation fees... So all descendants of Thomas
Webber should be aware of this scheme to get rich quick does exist, and you are their targets,
even today." He was married to Philippa Junsen on 21 Jul 1626 in Exeter, co. Devon, England.(20720)
