This uncle later adopted John. The uncle was a wealthy man, possibly of noble birth, advanced in years, and a zealous opponent of popery [the Catholic church].

Since Thomas Dewey first appears in Dorchester in 1633, he may have arrived on the unnamed ship from Weymouth, Dorsetshire, that landed in New England in July of 1633. He had a land grant in Dorchester, MA, on 1 December 1634 and also on 5 July 1635. His surname in the town records is spelled "Duee."
