Ferdinando had a lot of problems - and after Queen Elizabeth died, and James 1
ascended to the throne in the late March 1603, in essence Gorges was re-instated
with the King. He decided at this time to take his family to Plymouth,
Devon, England - the death of his servant Richard Thomson, coming just
before Sir Ferdinando was ordered back to Plymouth Fort, seemed to be
only right to take David and his mother with them - the other THOMSON boys Golde
and Moses were already apprenticed and would remain in London with their
masters. The 23 year old daughter Ann was on her own and stayed in London.
Florence and her son David went with the Gorges, Florence continued
probably serving Lady Ann , the wife of Sir Ferdinando

<P><SPAN class=703154417-02052008>Priscilla and David </SPAN> were the
two that lived to adulthood. When Amias came to New Eng she left her daughter
Priscilla in Eng with her parents..I am sure they did not want their
granddaughter coming to the wilds of a new land. Amias brought John who at the
time was abt 4 years old. Her husband David was already established in New Eng
with a (fort) house...he would spend his time between the new world and that of
county Devonshire, Eng. Amias was a bystander or participant in more facets of
early New Eng history than any other woman.</P>
<P>Records suggest she was the 25th English woman to migrate to New Eng.
Preceding her were the 20 women on the Mayflower in 1620. Thirteen of the 20
died that first year. There were 4 more women who came to New England on the
"Fortune" in 1621. Amias arrived with her son John on the "Jonathan" in the late
winter of 1623 at Piscataway, New Hampshire where her husband had their<SPAN
class=703154417-02052008> </SPAN>fort.</P>
<P>Amias and David had a active social life entertaining almost everyone of
consequence in New England at Piscataway during her first yr there. Amongst them
was Thomas Weston, Capt Miles Standish, Phinehas Pratt, Gov Robert Gorges and
most of his would-be settlers including Samuel Maverick, and Capt Christopher
Levett. Indians were also visitors at Piscataway. William Hilton and his
family<SPAN class=703154417-02052008> </SPAN>were visitors at their home. The
Hiltons were pushed out of New Plymouth in 1624..Amias and her husband were not
"lovers" of the puritans...David and Amias moved their home to Boston in the
harbor on an Island, now called "Thompsons Island" Their home was the center of
the social life of the old planters. David Thomson died in 1628...there has been
no record found of how he died.</P>
<P>Amias soon md Samuel Maverick of the neighboring island called "Noodles
Island" (Noodles Island is now Logan Airport in Boston..there is a area near by
called "Maverick Square") There was a long history of life-long tension between
church of England Loyalist Samuel Maverick and the separatist puritanical
puritans.</P>
<P>When there was a smallpox epidemic which killed so many Indians in 1633,
Winthrop in his journal wrote, " Among others, Mr.. Maverick of Winnissime is
worthy of perpetual remembrance. Himself and his wife Amias, and savants went
daily to them (the Indians) ministered to their necessities, and buried their
dead, and took home many of their children." It is said they buried some thirty
Indians in one day.</P>
<P>Amias had 3 more children, Nathaniel born abt 1634, Samuel b 1632 and Mary b
1635. Amias's son John Thomson started his apprentice seaman training in 1633
and was seldom home, & dau Priscilla was still in Plymouth, England.</P>
<P>They lived at Noodles Island from 1634 to 1650. Amias kept house for her
husband Samuel Maverick and his mother Mary G<SPAN
class=703154417-02052008>ye-Maverick</SPAN> . During this period Samuel was
often at odds with the puritan authorities who were working to establish a
puritan church centered government. Samuel held out for reasonable rights for
non-puritans. He was imprisoned and fined several times for his views and
actions. Abt 1651<SPAN class=703154417-02052008> </SPAN>Samuel moved his family
to Saco, Maine, here again he was at odds with the Massachusetts puritans who
claimed that their charter gave them New Hampshire and Maine as well as parts of
Rhode Island and Connecticut (which it did not).</P>
<P>About 1660 Samuel was sent to London as a delegate of other non-puritans to
try to induce the crown to curb the oppressive New Eng Puritan government..he
was there 4 years and did win considerable support for his views. It was while
in London that he wrote his invaluable description of New England. He presented
it to sir Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon, Charles II's Lord High Chancellor.
Copy of<SPAN class=703154417-02052008> </SPAN>the letters can be found in "David
Thomson, First Yankee" p140. In 1664 he was appointed along with three other men
to go back to New England and carry out the ideas mentioned in his letters.</P>
<P>He was not successful with the Massachusetts government, however they did
bring New Amsterdam (New York) under the English Crown with no bloodshed and
with a minimum of disruption. For his part in the latter project, Maverick was
given a house on lower Broadway, New York City.</P>
<P>Presumably this is where Samuel Maverick and his wife Amias Cole Thomson
Maverick died in the 1670's. Amias (1597-1670+) was in the thick of things
regarding New England during her entire life; first in Plymouth, County
Devonshire, England where her father was active in civic matters and a ship
builder and who repaired the Speedwell and where the Mayflower lay wait for
nearly two weeks...she knew Pocahontas when she was in Eng searching for John
Smith...she and her husband David got to know the passengers of the Mayflower
when they were there. She was active in life in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and
Maine and finally in New York.</P></SPAN>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Virginia,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>It is my belief that David Thomson was of Corstorphine -
outside of Edinburg, Scotland. His father's 2nd marriage to Agnes
Foullis linked him the Sec'y of State of Scotland, Thomas Hamilton. In
addition, David's step-brother, Adam Hepburn was the legal clerk to Sec'y at
the time of Thomson's grant to Piscataqua and being designated as the
acting governor of Massachusetts, according to the 1622/23 grant. King
James ruled Scotland "by the pen" as he lived in England. He did that
through Hamilton. There are many other tie-ins to King James.
But clearly, in 1625, David Thomson had a special relationship with the Earl
of Arundel and acted as his agent in America.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>David was a Scotsman according to those who knew
him. Robert Thomson was an Englishman. There may be a
relationship, but I spent years looking, but never found one.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>William Crowne, the Earl of Arundel's right hand man
eventually betrayed Arundel and settled in Mendon Mass, where John Thomson who
also settled in Mendon - David's son - considered him an enemy.</FONT></DIV>
