<div> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hi Quizzical Quint,<br>
Mehitable married Samuel Hayward (or Haywood in her father's will) at Medfield on 28 Nov 1666. I have a record of one daughter (my line), Mary Hayward, b abt.1671 who married Joseph Rockwood and had a daughter, Johanna Rockwood, 1692 - 1777. Johanna married Eliphalet Holbrook, 1691-1775. Their son, another Eliphalet, 1725-1776, married Abigail Wight. Abigail Wight, 1734-1808, was the daughter of Joseph Wight, Jr. and Martha Thompson, 1705-1781. Martha was the daughter of John Thompson, 1667-1748, and Hannah Wight. (Hannah Wight and Joseph Wight, Sr. were sister and brother, so Martha Thompson was marrying her cousin, Joseph Wight, Jr - my addition of Jr. and Sr. for clarification.) Martha Thompson Wight's father, John Thompson, was the son of John Thompson 1642-1704, and Thankful Woodland. This last mentioned John Thompson was the son of John Thompson, 1618-1685, and he was, of course, the son of David Thomson
. So that's how I'm descended from both Mehitable and John Thompson.<br>
My grandmother gave me a pewter plate with the initials M T stamped on it. On the back was written, "To D.F. Hunter from his great grandmother, Martha Thompson Wight". His grandmother must have written that because he was born after Martha died, and his mother couldn't have written it either since she died shortly after his birth. Since Martha was born in 1705 and married in 1729, I assume the plate was given to her in those years before her marriage. I have another pewter plate and a pewter cereal bowl with a filigreed handle, all passed down as a group. Holding it is like reaching back in time. It makes that genealogical link so tangible.<br>
Sorry if it's too much info.<br>

<div> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hi All,<br>
I have two questions. <br>
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?<br>
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?<br>
Thanks for any help.<br>
Sincerely, Lois<br>
