1634 -- Henry Kimball emigrated from England to the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Henry settled first in Watertown, Massachusetts, and remained there after his father moved to Ipswich. Sometime after 1646 he followed his father to that place, and about 1655 he removed to Wenham, and spent the remainder of this life in that town.
8 Nov 1659, he subscribed £3 as minister's rate, one-half in wheat, the other half in Indian corn, "at Marchant's price” and in 1660 he contributed 10s towards the new meeting house. He was chosen constable 22 Oct 1669. ''Ancestry of Charles Stinson Pillsbury''- Mary L. Holman, The Rumford Press, Concord, 1938- Vol. I, p. 73ff
Henry gave several depositions in court, among which was one given 4 mo. (June) 1665, wherein he states "that he never gave Goodman Symonds 5s & 6 pens a day for his boy and his bullockes, nor never did intend it, and sins the last March Corte he came to me and tould me he would take but five shillings."Records and Files of the Quarterly Courts of Essex County- Vol. II, p. 11 In 1656 he complained against Thomas Smith of Ipswich on account of Smith's cows destroying his corn about two weeks before general training and the fence was broken down. On 27 Nov. 1656 “Mary Parcker, aged about twenty years, testified that Henry Kimball never agreed with her for the stripes he gave her until Robert Whitman went to her master’s house a few days before April 23.”
Henry deposed in court, in Sept. 28, 1669 that he was 53 years old.

Henry died some time in 1676 at least by 17 May 1676 when his estate was inventoried.: Specific dates of May 3, 1676 in Bradford, Essex, Massachusetts{{citation needed}} and August 12, 1676 in Wenham, Essex, Massachusetts{{citation needed}} have been given in the past. A 1908 compiled history of New Hampshire simply stated he died in Wenham in 1676, no specific date.

=== Wives ===
According to the ''History of the Kimball Family'' (1897), Henry Kimball's first wife was Mary, daughter of John and Mary (___) Wyatt who came over on the same ship as the Kimballs.''History of the Kimball Family'' (1897)[https://archive.org/stream/historyofkimball01morr#page/68/mode/2up p 68]; Genealogical & Family History of the State of NH makes the same claim.
Subsequent research, however, found that John Wyatt's wife had previously been married to Edward Riddlesdale, and that the children who came over with them on the ship were John Wyatt's ''step'' children, not his own, although likely adopted and treated as his own in his will. "John Wyatt of Ipswich, Massachusetts, and his wife Mary (_____) Riddlesdale," in NEHGS ''Register'' 143:213. This research found that the Riddlesdale daughters who were baptized in Assington, England were later identified as the [adopted] children of John Wyatt, who probably had no children of his own.
Robert Charles Anderson supports this view in his ''Great Migration'' series (2008).
Henry Kimball was married to:# (1640 Mary Riddlesdale (1622-1672), dau of Edward and Mary (____) Riddlesdale, and step/adopted daughter of John Wyatt.# (1672) Elizabeth Gilbert (1617-1676), widow of William Rayner; daughter of Humphrey and Elizabeth (____) Gilbert.
=== Children ===
Per "Gleanings," in NEHGS ''Register,'' 28:242, Henry Kimball has been believed to have had 13 children as supported by the following:
# The inventory of Henry Kimball's estate (Essex Wills, i. 45) mentioned a debt due from his son Caleb, late deceased.# The inventory of Caleb's estate (i. 36,45) mentioned that administration was granted on 30th 9th mo., 1675 to Henry and Richard Kimball; but on 30 4th mo, 1676, it was noted, "The said Henry [Kimball] being deceased, sole administration is granted to said Richard, who is to pay out to each of them when they come of age." There was also something due to Caleb, "to his uncle Richard's estate."# In the files of the probate office, an order of the Court, endorsed on the original inventory of the estate of Henry Kimball, dated September 26, 1676, referring to an agreement between Richard Kimball and John Kimball and their stepmother; adding: "They also are to pay their mother-in-law Elizabeth Kimball 15ls for the bringing up of their younger sister Deborah [Kimball] out of which the said mother is to pay the sd. Deborah 5ls when she comes to age. # Said Richard [Kimball] and John [Kimball] are to pay their ten brothers and sisters fifty shillings apeece whenthey come o age
# Richard [Kimball] the eldest son to have a duble portion."
