Notes - Thomas Kimberly, the first of that name to come to America, was baptized at Wotten-Sub-Edge, County Gloucester, England, June 24, 1604. He was the son of Abraham Kimberley and Katherine Howe, who were married there Oct. 4, 1602. It is not known just when Thomas Kimberly came to America, but he was one of the founds of New Haven, Conn., in 1638. He was chosen corporal of the Train Band (Military Company) in August 1642, and clerk for the Military Company in April, 1655. He was Marshall of the New Haven Colony 1643-1661. Later he moved to Stratford, Conn. He married Alice Awood [other sources say Atwood], who died Oct. 10, 1659. One of their children was Abraham Kimberly.
There is no record of the date of the birth or marriage of Abraham. It is known that his wife’s name was Hannah. Her last name may have been Preston, but this is not absolutely certain. Abraham Kimberly and his family moved to Chowan County, North Carolina by 1668. He died there sometime prior to March 27, 1680, when administration was granted on his estate. Abraham’s widow returned to Connecticut with the three surviving children, whose births were entered in the Stratford, Conn., records. One of the children was Abraham Jr., who eventually became the chief heir of his grandfather, Thomas Kimberly.
This Abraham lived in Stratford until 1711, when he became an original proprietor of Newtown, Conn., which was incorporated as a town in 1711. Abraham Kimberly Jr. married Abigail Fitch, the daughter of Thomas Fitch and Abigail Goodrich. Their daughter, Hannah Kimberly, born January 19, 1698, married James hard Jr. Abraham Kimberly died prior to July 26, 1727, when administration was granted on his estate.
