for taking the time to research the RIHS records. Mrs. Haviland also
wrote on Medfield and Uxbridge History. Uxbridge is important if you are
looking for a Quaker connection - which I suspect from one of my ancestors who
moved to Smithfield, RI - a Quaker hotbed that met in Uxbridge for
meetings. Medfield is where our ancestors escaped to when the Indians
turned their anger on Mendon during the King Philip War.</span></font><font

back to the Massachusetts grant naming David as the governor under the Council for
New England. He is referred to Mr. David Thompson, Gent. To
use Mr. and Gent. in the same title is redundant. It is believed by at
least one major historian, David Howarth, author of Arundel and His Circle,
that David was a ship's Master. I have also found a Mr. Thompson, Master
of the ship Jonathan in early Virginia Records - about 1619. Recall the
letter - he mentions his impression of folks in the South - not
flattering.</span></font><font color=black><span style='color:black;mso-color-alt:

was referred to as Mr. John Thompson when he was a ship's master, but we all
know he lost everything. Goodman means landowner. A person can be
more than one thing in one's lifetime. Frankly, I find Richardson's
analysis to be idiotic. Because he is referred to as Goodman in Mendon he
cannot be the same person as Mr. John Thomson - a title he held when he was a
ship's master!!</span></font><font color=black><span style='color:black;

looked at other sources at RIHS but found nothing that suggested that John
Thompson of Thompson's Island was the same as John Thompson of Mendon.
Except for the fact that they were born in the same year and that John Jr. of
Mendon named a son David, either man's timeline stands independent of the
other's. There is nothing that contradicts their being the same man
(except Douglas Richardson's article) but nothing connects them,
either. I hate to continue claiming David as an ancestor when respected
genealogists seem to doubt it. Let's hope we can find the "smoking

<strong><b>On Monday, 11/17/08,I received the Fall 2008 newsletter from
Thompson Island Outward Bound. On the back page (attached to this
message), I found that Sharon Thompson of Alberta, Canada had visited Thompson
Island and wanted to reach out to other descendants of David Thompson. I
contacted her by email, gave her a synopsis of our 2001 (Re)union, and pointed
her to the Tommies website. She has joined our email list. </b></strong><br>
