[Tommies] John Thompson and David's fishing post

[Janet Granzin]

Hi Lois,

 

My record of John's children are: John, Mehitable, and Sarah, who married John Aldridge on June 09, 1670, in Mendon, Mass. She died February 25, 1678, in Bridgewater, Mass. I descended from John.

 

Sincerely, Janet

Hi All,
  I have two questions.  
  I noticed in John Thompson's will, that he mentions his son-in-law, John Aldrich.  I have only two children for John Thompson and Sarah Trevore - Mehitable Thompson Hayward (Haywood) and son, John.  Where does John Aldrich fit in?  I must be missing a daughter.  I am descended from both the son, John, and the daughter, Mehitable.  Who was their sibling?
  This second question must have an obvious answer than I am too dense to see.  Why was David Thomson setting up a fishing station, drying cod and sending them back to England?  Isn't that like sending coal to Newcastle?  What am I missing here?
   Thanks for any help.
Sincerely,  Lois
