    Notes:

    Capt. Anthony Eames, the youngest of Thomas and Millicent Eames’ five children, embarked on a transformative journey from England to America in 1633. At about 23, upon his father's death in 1618, Anthony's life took a decisive turn. His active involvement in local affairs as Churchwarden and Constable of Fordington Manor was a prelude to his decision to emigrate, inspired by letters from his sister-in-law Alice's brothers, who were among the early settlers in Charlestown.

    Sailing on the "Recovery" from Weymouth on March 31, 1633, Anthony, his wife Margery, and their children, including their last child Abigail born around 1632, arrived in New England. They first settled in Charlestown, where Anthony, alongside the Sprague brothers, signed the “Selectmen Government Agreement” in February 1634/5.

    The family soon moved to Hingham in 1636, receiving a plot of land. Anthony quickly became a prominent figure, representing Hingham in the general court and engaging in community leadership. His military experience in England translated well into his role in New England, where he was appointed Lieutenant in the Hingham Train Band and later Captain. He was actively involved in the defense and development of the town, from signing the charter for the 'Military Company of Massachusetts' in 1638 to operating the first Corn Mill in Hingham in 1643.

    In 1645, Anthony was central to a controversial incident in Hingham, leading to community divisions and even affecting the political climate in Boston. Despite this, he continued his service, moving to Marshfield Hills in Plymouth Colony in 1651, where he purchased land and became a respected member of the community. He served as a deputy to the general court and was involved in significant projects like demarcating the boundary between Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth Colonies.

    Capt. Anthony Eames' dedication to public service was recognized in 1659 when he petitioned for compensation for his efforts in running the boundary line, a request that was honored by the Massachusetts Bay Legislature.

    Margery, his steadfast companion, passed away in 1662 in Marshfield. Anthony lived until 1686, reaching the age of 91.
