David & John Thomson.
Question #1- Has the wife of John Thomson, son of David, been uncovered or
validated. A David Thomson book, "The First Yankee" infers that she was
Sarah Trevore, daughter of Mayflower seaman William Travore (Travour)?
Question #2 - Philbrick's book, Mayflower, makes much of Squanto sauntering
into Plymouth speaking near perfect English. Sir Gorges memoirs note he
assigned the task to teach Squanto English to "his servant" who it could be
surmised was David T. Why have not the historians come forward to place
credit for Squanto's life sustaining actions to the Pilgrims where it may
belong?
Hope we can keep this up. I too stem from John to John to John ....
Thanks all,

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.
