He lived first in Braintree and then moved to Mendon Mass. in 1664 where he was one of the founders of the town along with John Thomson and others. He was chosen as Selectman in 1667 and was a messenger to the General Court in 1660. His home was located a short distance south of the center of town on Providence Road. He was regarded as a man of wealth and was an extensive land owner and dealer acquiring valuable land through allotment and much through purchase. After Huldah died in 1690 he remarried Anna Freeburg in Mendon. _____ from: alicep@ma.ultranet.com (Alice Palladini) Reply-to: Aldrich_NAA@onelist.com FERDINANDO Thayer: He spelt & signed with two small ff 's ffardinando ?? :) why no one knows,, However in the early " Mendon Annals" his name is first spelt, FARDINANDO. But Ferdinando is the name used. He was not Spanish as many thought, because of his first name, They say probably he was named after Ferdinando Gorges. However . the connection between Thayers and Gorges is not known.
