5. | Sarah Crosby ![]() Notes: Eastham In November of 1620 a hunting expedition from the Mayflower landed in the area on Cape Cod that became known as Eastham. This led to the "First Encounter": the Pilgrims and the local Nauset Native American tribe. However, the area, then known as Nauset, would not be settled by Europeans until 1644. By that time the settlers had become disenchanted with Plymouth with William Bradford writing of "the straightness and barrenness of the land" and commenting on the desire of many colonists to find a better location. A committee of seven freemen, led by Thomas Prence, was sent to evaluate Nauset and it was determined it was too small and remote to accommodate the entire population of Plymouth. Nonetheless, those seven men and their families, 49 hardy souls in all, remained and formed the new settlement with a strip by the harbor at the east side reserved for the Nausets to grow corn. Nauset continued as a settlement until 1646, when the General Court of Plymouth incorporated it as a town. The name of the town was changed to Eastham in 1661. Sarah married Silas Sears about 1692 in Yarmouth, Barnstable Co, Massachusetts. Silas (son of Silas Sears and Anna Bursell) was born about 1661 in Yarmouth, New Plymouth Colony; died about 1732 in Probably Yarmouth, Barnstable Co, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
