Biography
Alice (Blower) Brackett immigrated to New England as a child during the Puritan Great Migration (1621-1640).
Alice was the daughter of Thomas and Alice (Frost) Blower, born in England.[1]; she may have had two brothers who came to New England, and her father certainly came to New England in 1635, but apparently died soon after. Her mother, Alice Frost, was sister to Tomasine Frost, who married Edmund Rice, immigrant to Sudbury, and also of Elizabeth Frost, who married first Henry Rice and then Philemon Whale, the latter also an immigrant to Sudbury.[2]
Alice married Richard Brackett in the church of St. Katherine by the Tower, London, England on January 1633-4. Richard had returned from Massachusetts Bay to marry her, and took her with him back to Boston by 1635.[3]
Alice died in Braintree on Nov. 3, 1690[4]
