- [S16144775012] Tower genealogy : an account of the descendants of John Tower, of Hingham, Mass., Tower, Charlemagne, (Cambridge, Mass.: John Wilson & Son, 1891).
Richard Ibrook, of whom we have but brief account. He was among the early settlers of Hingham, having a grant of a house-lot on what is now Lincoln Street, but known in the earlier records as "Broad Cove." The two lots next to his northward were granted to William Cocram and to William Cockerill, respectively, who appear to be sons-in-law of Richard Ibrook.
Richard Ibrook came to Hingham with his wife -- whose name I have been unable to learn -- and three unmarried daughters, -- Ellen, Margaret, and Rebecca. Ellen married Joshua Hobart, a brother of Rev. Peter Hobart, 1639; Margaret married John Tower, as above; and Rebecca married Rev. Peter Hobart. She was his second wife. There appear to be no means for finding the dates of the births of either Ellen or Margaret. Rev. Nehemiah Hobart, a grandson of Rev. Peter and Rebecca (Ibrook) Hobart, has the following among his records, namely: --
"1693, Sept. 9. Died my Hon Grandmother, Rebecca Hobart, age 73, lived in New England 55 years."
This would give the date of her coming 1638, three years subsequent to the date of the grant of a house-lot to her father.
