Notes:

James Trowbridge was likely born at Dorchester after his parents immigrated and was baptized there in 1637 or 1638. After his family's move to New Haven, CT, his mother died and, at about age 8, in 1644, his father returned to England, leaving James and his two brothers in the care of a Sgt. Thomas Jeffries, possibly a relative from the Taunton, England area.

As the result of a lawsuit against their father's steward in New Haven, James acquired his father's property in Dorchester, MA and moved there, where he married his first wife in 1659. He removed to Cambridge Village, now Newton, in 1664. After the death of Deacon John Jackson, his second wife's father, he was chosen Deacon of the church at Newton.

In 1675 he purchased 85 acres of land and a dwelling house and out buildings from Dep. Gov. Danforth; he had occupied this land for some years. He was chosen one of the first Selectmen at the organization of the town 27 Aug. 1679 and held that office for 9 years. He was clerk of the Writs in 1691 and 1693, and Commissioner, Lieutenant and Representative to the General Court in 1700 and 1703.

James married Margaret Atherton on 30 Dec 1659 in Dorchester, Suffolk, Massachusetts, USA. Margaret was born on 30 Apr 1638 in Dorchester, Suffolk, Massachusetts, USA; died on 17 Aug 1672 in Newton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA; was buried in Newton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA.
