Notes:
Thomas (1) Tarbell, the ancestor of all the early Tarbell families of New England, settled in Watertown as early as 1647, at which time he is mentioned on the town records as owning land. March 30, 1663 he and wife, Mary, sold his house and land there, and moved to Groton, where she died, aged 54 years. The family retired from Groton to Charlestown at the destruction of the former town during King Phillip's War, and there he married second, August 17, 1676, Susanna, widow of John Lawrence, and died of the small pox. The settlement of his estate, as contained in two papers in the Middlesex Co. Court files bearing dates of May 31, 1680, and March 18, 1681 shows the children listed on his family page. Administration upon his estate was granted to his son John, August 17, 1678. (a)
