        Anthony's history before coming to America is at the moment more speculation than fact. It is thought he left France and arrived in Plymouth in 1675. Another tradition is that he arrived in 1660 and was in Salem, and yet another is that he bought land from the Indians in Wells, York, ME. There is also speculation that he used the name Alister or Mc Alister and was called the Scotchmen. But what is agreed upon is that Anthony Coombs left France since his father wanted him to be a Roman Catholic priest or friar. Due to his experiences he came to the conclusion that he as dissenter of the Catholic religion. With the advice of his mother, who was thought to be a secret Huguenot or Protestant, provided him with the means to meet with a vessel that was heading to America. He arrived about 1675.

      He landed in Plymouth, Plymouth, MA and in company of two others purchased land in Maine, Wells or Bath. The began a small settlement and tenants soon came. The Indians attacked and the proprietors left. Some settlers remained behind and much of the settlement was destroyed. The other two proprietors returned but Anthony refused. Anthony then went to Cape Ann were he was married. There is also notation in the York records, "at York, Maine, February 5, 1688, Anthony Coombs was married to Dorcas Wodden of Salem, MA." He later Gloucester, Essex, MA and went to Rochester, Plymouth, MA.
        on 13 October 1705 he is listed as one of seven men of Rochester having signed the covenant. He is also listed in the church in  1709 as a member when the minister passed. He is thought to work the iron mills. "in 1704 the town gave a piece of land 'near Peter Blackamore's mill' to Anthony Coombs on condition that he do the work of a smith among us for seven years." That same year a road was laid out and its description reads "towards the mill, that is the Sippican milldam, touching John White's land, and an old bridge, Anthony Coombs' land and so to Kennel Winston's land."

     In the New Bedford Library is a document that appears to be a copy of John Tripp’s own words, dated 1670. “First I was born in Covetown (Horkstow near Barton on Humber) in Lincolnshire 3 miles from Benton Harbor, and my father's name was John Tripp and my mother's name was Isabel Moses and before she married my father when she was a maid and they had about twelve children and much kindred we had and when I grew in years I was put an apprentice to a shapt carpenter whose name was John Baaty of [Horys]bury three miles of from Alsand in Lincolnshire aforesaid where i served years and sometime after wrought with him and after that I bound myself to owe Frances East for 4 pounds a year for 4 years who sold me and I had served him and his assign for about a year and a half. He sold me to Robert Jafra then living in Boston and Boston church members persecuted some to the offending of others. My master came to Rhode Island with the said persecuted people and I with him and his wife being sickly and they could not get their maid to Rhode Island with them. People whom the said members and expelled from them. Therefore my master was forced to sell me to Randall Houlding of Portsmouth on Rhode Island and I served a while and after bought out the rest of time of him and after a while I married a wife whose maiden name was Mary Paine.
