Notes for Ralph TWOMBLEY
Ralph Twombly, at first, was a resident at Dover Neck, where he had land laid out 10 Apr 1656, that had previously been granted to him by the town. He was first taxed in 1657 and then appears to have changed his residence from the Neck to Chochecho, as he had land there also. At the Neck he was a near neighbor to Governor Thomas Roberts, on the bank of Fore River.

His Will was date 28 Feb 1684; proved 7 Aug 1686. Elizabeth, his wife, and son John, were executors. If son John should live with his mother, then they were to occupy the homestead, jointly; if not, then his wife to have the estate for life, after which John should have one-half. If son Ralph lived with his mother till he was twenty-one, then he was to have ten pounds in money or goods equivalent thereto. To son Joseph, a heifer; to daughter Mary (Tebbetts), five shillings; to each of the other chidren, Elicabeth, Sarah, Hope, Esterh, and William, when 18 years of age, a cow. Mr. Twombly appears to have been born in England, about 1630, and came over when he was about 20 years old; there is no mention of "three brothers' coming on the same ship. p4825

Died in Dover, New Hampshire after 28 February 1684, the date his will was signed and before 7 October 1686, the date his will was proved. His wife's name was Elizabeth, whose family name is unknown.
