      "Richard, whose name appears amont the settlers of Hing. in 1635 had the same yr. a grant of land containing 4 acres on Broad Cove (Lincoln) St., which adjoined the lots granted to John Palmer, William Cockerum, or Cockrum, and Rev. Peter Hobart. Of his Fam. and personal history I kn. but little"

      From "Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to Net England, 1620-33":
      ORIGIN: Southwold, Suffolk
      MIGRATION: 1635
      FIRST RESIDENCE: Hingham
      ESTATE: "The several parcels of land and meadow legally given unto Mr. Richard Ibrooke by the town of Hingham": "for a houselot four acres," 1635; "for a planting lot six acres of land at Nantascott," 1635; "four acres of meadow at Nantascott," 1635; "for a great lot fourteen acres of land lying on the great plain in the first furlong to the eastward from the center," 1637; "four acres of salt marsh at Conyehassett, it is the tenth lot in the first division ... which said four acres of meadow is given in satisfaction for four acres given him at Nantascott," 1647; and "a small island called by the name of Mr. Ibrook's Island, it is the first island northward as you come from Nantascott lying to the west of the old planters' hill and to the east of Crow Point" [HiBOP 28].
      BIRTH: By about 1583 based on estimated date of marriage.
      DEATH: Hingham [14] November 1651 [NEHGR 121:24].
      MARRIAGE: By 1608 Margaret _____. She died at Hingham 4 April 1664 and was buried there 5 April 1664 [NEHGR 121:116].

      From "Massachusetts and Maine Families":
      Richard Ibrook, who was born about 1580, lived in the seacoast parish of Southwold, co. Suffolk. He married, before 1607, Margaret ____. "Old Eybrook," who was buried in Southwold on Dec 20, 1612, may have been his father. That the name was sometimes Brook or Broke is proved by the burial record on January 26, 1632, of Widow Broke while her will proved at Ipswitch in 1632 in indexed under Alice Ibrooke, Southwold. Richard Ibrook was a bailiff of Southsold in 1614, 1624, and 1635.
      In 1635 Ibrook came to New England with his wife and daughters and sellted in Hingham, where the town granted him a house-lot of four acres on Broad Cove, adjoining the lots of John Palmer, William Cockerum and Rev. Peter Hobart. The records are practically baren of references to him, but on March 5, 1638/9, he was fined 5 pounds "for tempting 2 or more Maydes" and was ordered to pay 20s. apiece to Rebecca Phippen and Mary Marsh, the recipients of his amourous attentions.
      Two entries in the diary of his son-in-law, Rev. Peter Hobart, are: "1651, Nov 14 - Mr. Ibrook dyed," and "1664, April 4 -- Mother Ibrook dyed."
