An original proprietor of Groton, Massachusetts. According to Skeate, Thomas Williams and Mary Holden had six children, born at Groton and Woburn. Butler names on four, listed here, all born at Groton. The birthdates here are given from Butler, and the dates in Skeate seem to be a bit confused, the older and younger Thomases being mixed together.

The Holden genealogy258 reports: “Thomas Williams in 1686 was in possession of the Graves farm in Woburn, probably as a lessee, when Dr. Thomas Graves sold his farm of 360 acres to Nathaniel Richardson. [original footnote: “Middlesex Deeds, 10:524.”] This farm was composed of five lots, four of which were purchased by the elder Thomas Graves of Waterfield Proprietors, and adjoined his own grant in West Rockfield, extending from the Charlestown (Stoneham) line on the east beyond the [p. 49] Aberjona River, and included grants to the wife of John Harvard, Abraham Palmer, James Matthews and John Stratton. On the southeast it was bounded by the 40-acre lot of Stephen Fosdick upon which John Holden lived for a time.”
