Thomas Newberry married (1) by about 1619 Joane Dabinott, daughter of Christopher Dabinott of Yarcombe, Devonshire.
They had five children: Joseph, Sarah Wolcott, Benjamin, Mary Clark, & John.
Based on the reference to "3 of my younger daughters," secondary sources have included a third daughter for Thomas Newberry with his second wife. The 1645 petition states that there were seven children alive at that time, four of whom "are now of full age." These four would be sons Joseph and Benjamin and daughters Sarah and Mary. The three youngest would then be John, Rebecca and Hannah. On this basis, a solution would be that the drafter of the will of Thomas Newberry entered "daughters" where the word should have been "children," and that this error was followed slavishly in the 1645 documents. Without this solution, son John Newberry, who was still living in 1645 but not yet of age, would not have been represented in the 1645 documents. (Note also that this supposed third daughter with the second wife is not included in the list of children of Thomas Newberry granted land at Windsor in 1640.
