As "Thomas Brigham senior" he appears on the rental roll of the Manor of Holme in 1528, as holding one toft, an orchard, a barn, a close called Leyre Pytts, and half a bovat, of land called Salvan Lands, etc., for which he paid yearly 14s. 8d. (Public Record Office, Rentals and Surveys, Roll 735.) No will or administration on his estate is preserved; and the name of his wife has not been learned.
