- Thomas was the first white child born in Lynn,MA. His father, who bore the same name of Thomas was one of the earliest settlers, and lived on the east side of Federal street, a few rods south of the mill brook, owning all the land, on that side, between the Turnpike and Marion street (1883). He was a man of integrity, and one in whose judgement much reliance was placed. And he seems to have had a very fair education.
In the March Term of 1663, he was tried before the Quarterly Count on an action of Battery for striking the wife of William Longley, when the following deposition was taken:
"The testimony of Elizabeth Newhall ye wife of John Senier and Mary Haven whoe sayth ye Thomas Newhall Junier was desired for to howld a poole for to rone a line between Will Longley and John Newhall: ye sayd Thomas Newhall stode one ye land of John Newhalls: then came ye two dafters of ye sayd Longley: namely Mary Longley and Anna Longley and threwe stones at ye sayd Thomas Newhall; afterward ye sayd Anna toke up a peace of a pulle and stroke ye sayd Newhall severall blows with it.
