Individual Details
Thomas Crosby
(1575 - 6 May 1661)
In addition to his four children, Thomas adopted his grandson Anthony (born 1635) after the death of Anthony's father. Anthony immigrated with his grandfather Thomas and his uncle Simon. Anthony studied medicine in Boston under Dr. John Alcock. Dr. Anthony Crosby served as a physician in Rowley.
18 April 1638 sailed to America on John of London with a group of Reverend Ezekiel Rogers' followers. They may have lived with the widow of their son Simon in Cambridge, Massachusetts until she remarried in 1645 -- at about that time, Thomas purchased a house in Cambridge. After a few years, he sold his holdings in Cambridge and the couple relocated, for the last time, to Rowley, Massachusetts.
Thomas lived to over 85 years of age and died in Rowley in 1661, buried on May 6.
Jane died the following year and was buried in Rowley on May 2, 1662
