He is thought to be a descendant of a Scottish branch of the family. This is difficult genealogy as the records in America concerning Drinkwaters are very limited. John Drinkwater was a first settler at Piscataway, on Feb 13, 1702-3, when he appeared as a legatee in the Will of Henry Crosly, who divided his personal property between Elizabeth Slater, Samuel Slater, John Drinkwater, Dorothy Lexington and Jeremiah Colcord.
Thomas was probably born in England and came to America as a young man, settling in Taunton. He married Elizabeth Haskell, daughter of John and Patience (Soule) Haskell. Thomas' son Joseph married Jennet Latham and was one of the early settlers of North Yarmouth. The foregoing is sustained by several New England references to the effect that the first Thomas Drinkwater married Jul 2, 1672, Elizabeth Haskell, as above, who was born at Middleborough. This family connects with Francis Walker, likewise from Middleborough, who moved to Piscataway and Woodbridge before 1700, and it is a most formidable assumption that John Drinkwater of Piscataway was a son or brother of Thomas.
The Drinkwater family can trace its history to the distant past, both in America and England. The present generation can trace its ancestry through two separate lines, to the passengers of the first Mayflower.
The name Drinkwater seems to have emanated originally from Cheshire, England. Many members of the family distinguished themselves as soldiers, writers and poets; three have received and one has declined the Honour of Knighthood; two appear in the Dictionary of National Biography. The name occurs in its simplest form as early as 1273 when John Drinkwater of Stottesdon county, Salop is named as an entry in the Hundred Rolls. The earliest known occurrence in Cheshire is in 1365 when Thomas was a defendant in a suit brought by John Boydell concerning tenements in Lymm. Thomas possibly came from Lakes of Derwent known as Derwentwater in the North of England.
The surname Drinkwater is thought to have originated as a nickname anciently applied to one of sober habits. Some historians state that it is a corruption of Derwentwater, but this theory is considered by many to be without foundation. It is found in old English and early American records in the various spellings of Drynkwater, Drynkwatere, Drinckwater and Drinkwater, the last of which is that most commonly used in America today. Families bearing this name were established in England at early dates in Salop, Lancashire, Cheshire and London. One of the earliest references to the name appears to be that of John Drinkwater, living in Salop in 1273. A Richard Drynckwatere, possibly related to John, lived in the same county in 1309. Among the earliest records of the family in America are those of John Drinkwater, who emigrated from England and settled in Henrico county, VA, in 1637.
