Research Notes / Plymouth Colony & Massachusetts Bay Colony

Tiverton was incorporated by English colonists in 1694 as part of the Province of Massachusetts Bay. In 1746, in the final settlement of a long colonial boundary dispute between Rhode Island and Massachusetts, Tiverton was annexed to Rhode Island by Royal Decree (together with its fellow towns along the eastern shore of Narragansett Bay, Barrington, Bristol and Little Compton, and the town of Cumberland, to the north of Providence). Tiverton was incorporated as a town of Rhode Island in 1747. Until that year, Tiverton also controlled the area of East Freetown, Massachusetts, as an outpost. The boundary settlement of 1746 had put East Freetown in Massachusetts, and in 1747 it was purchased by Freetown.Wilbur-403 09:00, 27 March 2016 (EDT)

My research leads me to believe that Mary Wilbore was the first of the Wilbore family born in America, as her father William Wilbore emigrated from England as a single man. His 2nd cousin, Samuel Wilbore of Boston came to America from England with his wife and 3 children: Samuel, Jr., Joseph, and Shadrach; they had no children born in America. It isn't clear if William came to America with his cousin, Samuel, or arrived at a later date.
