Thomas Kilbourne  [Gen 13, son of 11264 John Kilbourne]

Frances Moody  [daughter of 11266 George Moody & Margaret ___]

Our information on this family is mostly from published books, with some secondary website sources.  We are presenting what we have found, but cannot say anything about the accuracy.

11264.  John Kilbourne [Gen 14] was born probably sometime around 1550 in England, and died Oct 1591 in Wood Ditton (Cambridge) England.  His wife is unknown, though at least one source has (without evidence) Ann Collin.
John probably had several children, but the only one we know of is:

11264.1.  Thomas Kilbourne [5632] follows directly below.

5632. Thomas Kilbourne was born in 1578 in Wood Ditton (Cambridge) England, and died sometime before 1640 in Connecticut.  He married 5 Sep  1604 in Moulton (Suffolk) England,
5633.  Frances Moody.  Frances was born 11 Oct 1584 in Moulton (Suffolk) England, and died Nov 1650 in Wethersfield, Connecticut.

Kilbourne is an old Celtic location name meaning "church by the stream".  It may have originated in many places throughout England and Scotland.  It is rather difficult to research, as the name is spelled Kilbourne, Kilbourn, Kilborn, Kilburn, Kilborne, Kilburne, and Killbourn, even in the same family.
I am including Thomas in our line since most researchers, including Genealogical Dictionary of New England, place George as a son of Thomas.  There is not complete agreement on this, however; Jacobus questions whether George was really a son of Thomas, based on the fact that he is not included in Thomas' will.

Thomas and Frances belonged to the Church of England (i.e. Anglican); Thomas had been a warden of St. Mary's church in Wood
Ditton.  Thomas and Frances, along with several of their children, came to America in 1635.  It is generally accepted that they sailed on the "Increase" in Apr 1635, and arrived at Wethersfield, Connecticut in July.  A few sources say they landed first at Massachusetts, then moved to Connecticut because of religious disagreement with the Congregational colonists in Massachusetts.
Some sources speculate that Thomas may have died 23 Apr 1637 in Wethersfield, killed by the Pequot in the incident that started the Pequot War.  The Pequot had kidnapped a few English girls, then killed most of the members of a rescue party.  I have seen no concrete evidence, but as this happened very close to the Kilbourne home, Thomas may well have been one of the rescue party.
The will of "Francis Kilbourne" of Wethersfield, dated 13 Nov 1650, gave a gown to her daughter "Margit wife of Richard Lawe" and five shillings to her grandson, Jonathan Lawe; 5 lbs to Richard Law in lieu of the forty shillings she had borrowed of him; to daughter "Lidia wife of Rober Howar", 5 lbs; to daughter "Meary wife of John Root", 5 lbs; to daughter "Frances wife of Thomas Uffoote", 10 lbs; to grandchild, "Elizabeth Geneson", a gown, petticoat and hat; balance of her apparel to be divided between Lidia, Mary and Frances; to son John, three shirts and the rest of the linen to the three daughters.  Witnesses: Samuel Smith and Elizabeth his wife and Nathaniel Dickinson. The inventory was taken 3 Dec  1650 by Samuel Smith, Thomas Coleman and Nathaniel Dickinson and amounted to 349.08.04 lbs (worth about $30,000 today).

Thomas and Frances had ten children:

John was a local hero in the French and Indian War.  He was the first American to settle in Walpole, New Hampshire, building a log cabin in 1749, three years before the town was chartered.  At the time the French and Indian War started (about 1754) it had grown to several dozen homesteads and a small fort.  There were several attacks in the area, mostly by Indians coming down from Canada.  On Aug 17, 1755, John was returning home at noon with his 18-year-old son, a man named Peak, and Peak's son, when they saw a large number of Indians in the woods.  They ran for John's cabin, where they were joined by Mehitabel and their daughter Hetty.  The attackers were the St. Francis Indians from Canada, led by one known to the settlers as Philip.  They were numbered at least 197 by actual count, and estimated at 400 altogether.  Some of them first tried to attack another party of settlers led by Col. Bellows, the local commander.  When that failed, they turned to Kilburn's cabin.  While the two women reloaded muskets, the four men fought off the attack for six hours.  John recognized and killed their leader with his first shot.  Sometime during the afternoon the man Peak was mortally wounded, and died several days later.  The attack broke off at sunset, and the St. Francis returned to Canada.  There was another attack in 1757 on a town in the area, but no more at Walpole.  Although the other group under Col. Bellows certainly had something to do with it, John Kilburn is generally given the credit for saving the town.
