THOMPSON, THOMSON, TOMPSON, TOMSON,
Mr. David, who, with the Hiltons, founded New Hamp- shire, was a fishmonger at London, though of Scotch birth, and came to Piscataqua in 1623 "to begin a planta- tion," as Hubbard tells us. The phrase implies that he had such companions and furnishings as would be adapted to shore life as well as the fishing business; probably none of the company brought their wives and children at first but had them brought over on later voyages of the ships which carried fish and other commodities back to England. Cap- tain Thompson doubtless made many voyages across the ocean as well as coastwise. Bradford tells of his going along with some Plymouth men to "Damarinscove" to traffic for the goods of a ship-wrecked Frenchman in 1626, mention- ing him as then dwelling at Piscataqua. Not far from that time he went to Boston harbor and bought an island called
204
?
Treyour's Island, which was afterward called by his own name, and erected a habitation there. He died not long after that date, according to testimony given in Court when the title of the island was confirmed to the son in 1648.
He married at Plymouth, Eng. July 13, 1613, Amyas Colle (Amias Cole) who survived him and married second Mr. Samuel Maverick, who was at Boston Bay about 1625 and came into possession of the island called Noddle's Island, now East Boston. Mrs. Maverick joined her second husband in a deed in 1632; in 1633 she wrote a letter to Mr. Robert Trelawney, alluding to her first husband's friendship for him and to her "fatherless children" by Mr. Thompson. The only one of these children known to us is John, who obtained the island above-mentioned after it had been in the posses- sion of citizens of Dorchester and its income the foundation of the free school of that town in 1641. So the name of Thomson was prominent in the pioneer annals of two colonies.
It is particularly suitable that New-Hampshire people should honor the memory of this enterprising man.
Miles, Senior, carpenter, Kittery, signed the petition to Cromwell in 1657; was one of the selectmen in 1659. Bought land adjoining to some previously possessed of John Mor- rall, plasterer, 12 May, 1663; bought other land in partner- ship with Israel Hodgsden, of Abraham Tilton and Mary his wife. Deeded land Dec. 4, 1694, to sons Bartholomew and Thomas, the latter to maintain himself and his wife Ann.
Rev. William, some time curate of the church at Win- wick, Eng. came to this land in 1636 or 1637. Joined the church of Dorchester, Mass. of which his friend Rev. Rich- ard Mather was pastor. Preached a while at Accomenticus, [Kittery] ; removed to Braintree, Mass. and was installed as pastor with Rev. Henry Flint as teacher, Nov. 19, 1639. He was "a very gracious, sincere man, - an instrument of much good, - a man of much faith." [W.] See P. of M.
Note. In Piscataqua Files there is a well written letter from "Sam: Thomsonn," dated at "Taunton, March, 27th,
205
1660," addressed to "Deare Brother & Sister." He had re- ceived letters from them 4 and 2 years since, but none this. spring. They had ordered cloth of him, which was to be sent by Mr. John Payne. He had rode to Cheriton to confer with his uncle White about sending it. He now sends "3 karsyes," i. e. pieces of kersey cloth; directed to one Mr. Reynes in New England for them. He supposes that they "and all my cousins and their little ones are in good health, though my cousin William Thompson writt not a word of it." Hopes "my cousin John's children are with you, and that you are a father and mother to them." Is sorry to learn of the death of "cousin Esther." His own son Samuel is in school in Ilminster, and almost "fitt for Oxford"; his "daughter Mall is a religious and vertuous young woman."
This letter may prove very valuable as a means of dis- covering the relationship of several American families to their English connections. The great variety in the spelling of names at that period is here illustrated by the "Thomsonn" of the signature and the "Thompson" of a cousin's name. The "cousin William" who had recently written but failed to give all family news, calls to mind the Braintree parson, though without any real evidence of identity.
"A maid," of this name came to Richmond Island about 1639; was drowned. [Trel.]
THORPE,
Rev. John, Scarboroughi, witnessed a deed of Robert Jor- dan 9 Oct. 1658. Was complained of by Jordan and others for misconduct, and was forbidden by the Gen. Court 2 (3) 1661, to preach till further notice.
