Biography/Historical Note
Born and raised in Tisbury, England, Thomas Mayhew (1593-1682) purchased the development rights for Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. He and his family established the first English settlement on Martha's Vineyard as well as the townships of Tisbury and Chilmark, both named after villages in England. The town of Tisbury was officially incorporated July 8, 1671 by Francis Lovelace, Governor General of New York. For more information and greater detail about the early settlers and history of the town of Tisbury, see Volume II of The History of Martha's Vineyard, Dukes County, Massachusetts, In Three Volumes, by Charles Edward Banks.
