Thomas was baptized in Thorncombe, Dorsetshire, England on 2 February 1581/2. He immigarted in 1630 on the "Mary & John". Taking residence first at Dorchester, Massachusetts. He removed to Barnstable in 1639. Thomas was an innkeeper (on 3 December 1639 allowed by Plymouth General Court "to keep victualling or an ordinary, for entertainment of passengers, and to draw wine at Barnstable, he keeping good order in his house"). When Jobaniah Lombard was baptized at Dorchester on 23 June 1639, he appeared in a list of "such children as have been baptized in the church of Dorchester by communion of churches, their parents one or both being members of the church at Windsor, or Hingham". The church member in this case was probably Thomas Lombard's third wife. Thomas Lombard had joined the Barnstable church by 1641, as he had two sons baptized there, and is called "Brother Lumbar Senior" at the baptism of Thomas Jr.. Thomas was requested a freeman on 19 October 1630 (as "Tho: Lumberd") and admitted 18 May 1631 (as "Tho: Lumbard"). Thomas took the oath of fidelity, at Barnstable, 1657. Thomas was likely an educated man as his will inventory included "books" valued at 14s. He was Barnstable surveyor of highways, 6 June 1649. Land ownership by Thomas is recorded in the following, he was granted two acres marsh at Dorchester, 27 June 1636; grant of additional two acres of marsh, 2 January 1637/8; granted two lots, each of nearly four acres, 18 March 1637/8; received Lot #51, six acres, in meadow beyond Naponset.

The "true inventory of the estate of Thomas Lumbert of Barnstable Senior deceased" was taken 8 February 1664[/5] and totalled �210 8s. 6d., including "lands and housing" valued at �60 [MD 16:126, citing PCPR 2:2:25]. On 7 March1664[/5] Joyce, "the wife of Thomas Lumbert, deceased," Jedediah Lumbertand Caleb Lumbert, were granted administration on the estate of Thomas Lumbert [PCR 4:81]. Thomas died in Barnstable between 10 June 1663 (date of will) and 8 February 1664[/5] (date of inventory).
Children born are as follows,

ii BERNARD, b. about 1608 (deposed 20 February 1668[/9?] aged about sixty [MD 17:109]); m . by about 1633 _____ _____. (Wakefield suggests that Bernard Lombard may have had a second wife, who may have been daughter of William Clarke of Yarmouth [TAG 52:138-39].)

COMMENTS: On 2 October 1660 Thomas Lumbert Sr. of Barnstable complained to the court that "Jedediah, his son, hath carried stubbornly against his said father, and that he is by him freed , provided he do dispose himself in some honest family with his father's consent, which if he shall neglect to do, the Court have deputed Mr. Hinckley to dispose of him tosome honest, Godly family, with his and his father's consent" [PCR 3:201].
The Barnstable vital records appear to have been compiled census-style late in the seventeenth century, and include the births as given above for Jedediah and Benjamin, being "Tho[ma]s Lumbart Senior his children born at Barnstable" [MD 11:97]. As these records were compiled long after the dates of these two births, these dates are probably less reliable than the baptisms.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: In 1976 Robert S. Wakefield worked out a number of difficult problems in " The Lombard Family of Barnstable, Mass.," and his results are for the most part followed here [TAG 52:136-39]. In 1992 Eleanor Cooley Rue proposed an identity for Thomas Lombard's fourt h wife [TAG 67:47-52], and her conclusions necessitated some adjustments to the work of Wakefield.
