I hope to write up a new post on this line in the future.

Both daughters named Ann died young. Priscilla is last mentioned in the Trelawny Papers p 76-78 as "her fatherless children" but no further record of her exists. John was called "John Thompson of London" in 1651 in Massachusetts May Colony Records 3:130; Suffolk Deeds 1:117, 3:103-4. Douglas Richardson, FASG states in New Hampshire Genealogical Record 9:110-16 that the son John Thompson returned to England and is not the John of Weymouth and Mendon who had decedents in New England. If this be the case David Thompson left no known descendants beyond his immediate children in New England. He had no son named Miles Thompson in any baptism record, deed or probate record. Mile appears to be from a separate family - most likely an later immigrant per The Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire. <br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />His X MarkHis X Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780735911802924047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-24081332991073066602016-03-06T08:23:44.146-08:002016-03-06T08:23:44.146-08:00Thanks for your kind comment, Karen!Thanks for your kind comment, Karen!Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-75636143453496669012016-03-06T08:20:16.498-08:002016-03-06T08:20:16.498-08:00Heather--Hope this will get to you....I may be abl...Heather--Hope this will get to you....I may be able to work on one of my late husbands line on the Thompson side....Gen 4 under Noah Thompson.....because of your post here.....Many thanks to You and to Google for sending your wonderful blog my way!

It seems there are two schools of thought, with some folks believing he has a Scottish heritage. I haven't seen original documents, just summaries on the internet, and it seems that there may be a good case for the Corstorphine connection, too? I'd be interested in learning your thoughts about this.<br /><br />Janice in IndianaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-92194139028854173672011-12-24T06:16:34.396-08:002011-12-24T06:16:34.396-08:00I too have a Thompson line, but at first glance do...I too have a Thompson line, but at first glance don't see a connection.Kathryn Smith Lockhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239294110918121401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-88929083169776492412011-12-18T06:13:03.002-08:002011-12-18T06:13:03.002-08:00Martin, I have several NH Thompsons that appear to...Martin, I have several NH Thompsons that appear to be no relation to this one, but I'm still working on those lines...Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-26150949176666864192011-12-17T11:48:56.491-08:002011-12-17T11:48:56.491-08:00Oh man-- I have a Thompson in my family, but sadly...Oh man-- I have a Thompson in my family, but sadly, appears to be no relation...Karen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595488513595951006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-64770014622799861942011-12-17T10:41:53.540-08:002011-12-17T10:41:53.540-08:00Not surprising.
