Capt. Thomas Brattle and his Men.
Thomas Brattle was born about 1624. Was a merchant of good
standing in Boston in 1656 ; was of the Artillery Company in 1675.
He was an enterprising land-purchaser, and bought large tracts on
the Kennebec and the Merrimac, the latter of the Indians. He
owned valuable iron works at Concord, and was deputy from that
town from 1678-1681 ; also from Lancaster, 1671-2. Was one of
the founders of the Old South Church, and in 1671 one of the com-
missioners sent to treat with Philip at Taunton ; and in nearly all
the relations of public life he appears as one of the most active and
influential men of the colony. He married, probably in 1656, Elizabeth
Tyng, daughter of Capt. William and Elizabeth (Coytemore)
Tyng, whose tragic death, Nov. 9th, 1682, is recorded in Judge Sewall's
Diary. Their children, born in Boston, were—Thomas, b. Sept.
5, 1657, died same day ; Thomas, born June 20, 1658 ; Elizabeth,
born Nov. 30th, 1660; William, born Nov. 22, 1662; Katharine,
born Sept. 26, 1664; Bethiah, born Aug. 13, 1666; Mary, born
Aug, 10, 1668 ; Edward, born Dec. 18, 1670. Thomas Brattle
was appointed Cornet of the Suffolk Troop, May 30th, 1670;
Lieutenant, Oct. 13, 1675 ; Captain, May 5, 1676. When the war
broke out Capt. Brattle was an immediate and important friend of
the colony. He loaned the colony two hundred pounds, and in the
first few months of the war he is personally credited with cash, sup-
plies and service to the amount of fifteen hundred pounds upon the
treasurer's accounts.
