In 1655 he was one of the nineteen mentioned as among the townsmen of Eastham. Mr. Paine was propounded at the Colony Court at Plymouth and admitted a freeman June 1 , 1658. In 1662 he was appointed, together with Nicholas Snow, Jonathan Sparrow and Giles Hopkins, all leading men of Eastham, to view and lay out the great meadow between Namskaket and Silver Spring , within the limits of Eastham, to those of the inhabitants entitled to the same ; and in the same year, with Giles Hopkins, was appointed a surveyor of highways. In 1664, he was appointed one of the Deputies to the Colony Court, and one of the jury. In 1667, he was one of a committee of twelve called to investigate the causes that led to the deaths of Robert Chappell, James Nichols and James Pidell, of Captain John Allen's Company, who were put ashore at Cape Cod. The same year he was granted leave by the Colony Court to select a tract of land for his own use ; and in June, 1669 , he and Experience Mitchell, Henry Sampson and Thomas Little were given leave to buy land from the Indians at Namskaket, now Middleborough, Massachusetts. Mr. Paine and the other persons last named thereupon purchased a tract of land for ten pounds sterling from Tuscaquin, the Black Sachem, and his son William. This land adjoins the tract which belonged to John Alden at the famous Assowamsett Pond. In 1670, with Jonathan Sparrow, he was appointed an Inspector of the Ordinaries in Eastham, and to see that there was no excessive drinking. The same year he became one of the Grand Inquest. That year, also , he became interested in the purchase of land in what is now Truro. On May 2, 1670, he bought of Governor Thomas Prence of Plymouth his "half share," lying between "Bound Brook" and "Eastern Harbor" or "Lovell's Creek," for which he paid the sum of twenty pounds. This tract he sold to his son Thomas, March 30, 1690 , for the same sum. On the first day of June, 1673 , he bought of Jabez Howland, for fifteen pounds, all the right of the latter to land purchased and unpurchased in the same vicinity, which he also sold to his son Thomas, March 30, 1690. For many years prior to 1670, the head of Cape Cod, where Provincetown now stands, had been the resort of fishermen from many parts, and because it was within the geographical limits of Plymouth Colony, the Colony Court, that year listened to complaints that were made of careless persons "casting their ballast near the shore," where seines were drawn, and "leaving the garbidge of ffish or dead ffish to lye there. " The result was a decree made in June, 1670, that for every offence a penalty of forty shillings should be imposed ; also that whoever within the limits of the Colony should "draw mackerall on shore there" should pay sixpence for every barrell taken ; further that all "fforaigners" should pay for every barrell so taken one shilling and sixpence, and give " sufficient cecuritie" unto the bailiff for the fulfillment of every promise made, before "entrance on the voyage." Thomas Paine was appointed " bayley by land and water to demand and receive for the Colonie's use the above mensioned sums. " Mr. Paine served the Colony in this office many years. The following year, 1671 , he represented Eastham in the Colony Court. He was also a Deputy to that Court in 1672, 1673, 1676, 1678, 1680, 1681 and in 1690. Mr. Paine was a Selectman of Eastham in 1671 and was re-elected for several terms thereafter. He was Treasurer of Eastham from 1674 to 1694. In 1676, Mr. Paine was one of a committee appointed to collect a debt due to the Town of Eastham from the Town of Sandwich ; and the same year one of the committee chosen to undertake and superintend the building of the new church edifice at Eastham. In 1677, in partnership with Constant Southworth, the Colonial Treasurer, and two other persons, he hired the fishing privileges at the head of Cape Cod for a period of seven years, for the yearly sum of thirty pounds. In 1685 Mr. Paine and the Reverend Samuel Treat, Jonathan Sparrow, John Mayo, Senior, and Jabez Snow were chosen by the Town of Eastham as a commission to hear and "determine the differences between those called Purchasers and the town, "respecting certain lands within the limits of Eastham. About 1694 Mr. Paine changed his residence to Boston, where it appears of record that he bought of Thomas Stableford of Philadelphia, March 14, 1694, the latter's homestead, situated at the South End. For this estate he paid the sum of one hundred and thirty pounds. His residence in Boston appears to have terminated about 1697. On June 7 of that year he sold to Ephraim Little of Plymouth his share of certain land at Showamet in Bristol County, " it being his thirtieth part of that whole tract of land which Constant Southworth, Esquire, the late Treasurer of the Colony of New Plymouth, on the twelfth of November, Ano Dom. 1677, by ye order of the General Court did grant, sell and confirm unto sundry persons whose names are particularly expressed, " of whom "the said Thomas Paine" was one. On October 13, 1697, still being a resident of Boston, he sold the house and land he had bought of Stableford to one Eleazer Darby. Soon afterward he was again in Eastham, where he then remained until his death. Mr. Paine appears to have been a man of more than ordinary education, and was an unusually good penman. From the records it appears that he was skilled in the art of mill building, and under his supervision a number were erected in various parts of Barnstable County. For the great expense he was at "in building two Grist Mills in Eastham for the use of the town," he was granted in 1683 , a large tract of land on the northerly side of "Kescayogansett Cove," which is now included within the limits of the town of Orleans. - taken from "The Payne's of Hamilton" A Genealogy and Biographical Record by Augusta Francelia Payne White, Tobias A.
