Notes - Came from England to Scituate in 1665, to make his home with his uncle Peter Collamore, to whom he was heir. Constable in Scituate, 1671. Lieutenant to Gov. Andros, 1686. On 15 Jun 1692, William Phips commissioned him captain of a Scituate foot company. This latter commission addresses him as "Anthony Cullimore Gent."
He died by shipwreck during a snowstorm, on the rocks near the Scituate shore now called Collamore Ledge. He was memorialized by the Rev. Deodat Lawson, minister of the Second Parish at Scituate, in a poem entitled "Threnodia, or A mournfull remembrance, of the much to be lamented death of the worthy & pious Capt. Anthony Collamore, who together with five persons more were cast-away in a sloop going from Scituate harbour toward Boston, on the 16. day of December 1693.", which may be read here.
His descent from, as shown here, parents John Collamore and Mary Nichol, and grandparents Thomas Collamore and Agnes Adams, appears to be regarded by Gary Boyd Roberts and Douglas Richardson as highly probable but not perfectly proven. If proved, Anthony Collamore would be a sixth "gateway ancestor" for TSW, in addition to Obadiah Bruen, Peter Bulkeley, Grace Chetwode, Alice Freeman, and Richard Palgrave.
