[Tommies] Fw: DNA

[gcfraser at peoplepc.com]

Miles might be related to David.  John was his eldest.

What is William Thomson's line of descent?  Where was he born?

By the way, here's another tidbit!!  William Crowne (considered to a founder 
of Mendon) and John Thomson Sr. did not get along.  David Thomson's letter 
to Thomas Howard, the Earl of Arundel proves his close relationship to him. 
William Crowne in his younger days was a "servant" - clerk to Thomas Howard, 
the Earl and got his start through him.  When Thomas was in trouble with the 
authorities, William Crowne betrayed him.  That might be at the base of 
John's distrust of him.

PS  I have a distant cousin, David Thomson, around somewhere but his mother 
must have died, I cannot contact her to get her son to have the DNA test.

PSS I was at the Getty Museum library in CA and found a book which details 
the issue of William Crowne (later of Mendon).  The famous painting of 
Thomas Howard by Van Dyke is at the Getty.  There are also markings/symbols 
in the painting that look somewhat Masonic.  According to his bio, Thomas 
Howard became head of the Masons in 1632 in London.  He also sponsored the 
builders and sculptors and was chair of the London building committee after 
the fire that burnt the Banquet -hall.  David'd letter begins by talking 
about marble samples he sent the Earl.
