<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Virginia,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have spent many years trying to connect David Thomson
with Maurice Thompson and have found nothing except for this - David was at Cape
Anne in 1625 and witnessed an altercation with Miles Standish, based on a
statement he makes to the Earl of Arundel in his letter. I believe
Maurice's fishing station was at Cape Anne.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Maurice is related to Robert Thompson who had
property in Boston for a time. His son was Sir John Thompson aka Baran
Haversham. Maurice's son, Sir John married at Clerkenswell (family home of
Ferdinado Gorges). But Maurice Thompson was a Puritan and hated the
King. David Thomson was a King's man and a Scotsman like the King.
Maurice also had a brother, Sir William who was a business associate of Samuel
Maverick.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Genevieve</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>PS One genealogy lists these Thompson's as being
from Ye North... (might that be Scotland? ) Other things I have
found suggest the family was originally from Wales. </FONT></DIV>

<P align=left><FONT face=Arial>Maurice Thomson was a wealthy Puritan

the eldest of the five sons of </FONT><FONT face=Arial

face=Arial color=#ff0080>Elizabeth Harsnett</FONT><FONT face=Arial> of
Watton, Hertfordshire. <BR><BR>In 1632 the Governor of the Virginia
colony recommended him, with two others, for a three year monopoly of
all the tobacco grown in Virginia. He got into trouble in Canada and was
fined 400 pounds which he would not pay and also was accused of poaching
on Guinea Company preserves and he and his colleagues were arrested.
<BR><BR>He shipped goods to the Company of Providence Island for a few
years and in 1648 was appointed a commissioner from Parliament to the
States of the United Provinces to obtain contributions for the
Protestants of Ireland.<BR><BR>Upon the Restoration his connection with
Cromwell was looked upon with suspicion and in 1660 he was pardoned by
the king. <BR><BR>In 1661 he and Robert, his brother were charged with
giving information to the Dutch of the English Fleet. 'Maurice Thompson
was always violent against kingly government, he was intimate with the
Protector, sat at the High Court of Justice, and sentenced some of the
beheaded lords ... he was once a poor fellow in Virginia, but got a
great estate in the wars, mostly rent out of the bowels of the King's
party.' Nothing came of the charge.<BR><BR>One of his sisters Denise,

David's fishing post</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I've been reading the e-mails, waiting for an opportunity to
make a comparison and this seems as good a time as any.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>"Maurice Thomson was a man of great business enterprise and much
interested in public affairs. He established a fishing station in New England,
erected sugar works in Barbadoes and was Governor of the East India Company in
the reign of Charles the First."</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>How colonisation provoked the transportation of offenders:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>In 1620, Sir Thomas Smith (Smythe?) had been allowed to ship 20 people to
the Somers Islands (Bermuda). (Within a few decades, the term "being
Babadosed" came to mean being kidnapped to work on Barbados. Long later, the
term was "Shanghaied"). By the 1640s, many younger people on Barbados had
arrived after being kidnapped. Later, other new inhabitants included London
thieves and whores, Scottish and Irish soldiers captured in Cromwell's
campaigns. Cromwell did much to encourage the transportation of people deemed
undesirable, but not before certain trends had earlier been set by the second
Earl of Warwick, his associates, and those who answered to them. Between
1623-1624 the newly-organised Dorchester Company was granted permission by the
Council of New England to fish and trade. By 1626 the company - with some
members prominent Puritans - had established a settlement at Salem, promoting
the idea of a Bible Commonwealth.</DIV>
<DIV>(By 1629, the Massachusetts Bay Company was formed with a charter from
the Crown. Some Levant Company men investing in Massachusetts Bay Colony
included Francis Flyer, Matthew Craddock, Samuel Vassall, Nathan Wright, men
already active in America trade. It is difficult not to see them co-operating
with "the Rich faction". The Massachusetts Bay Company members were merchants,
some fishing men of the Dorchester Company, some London merchants and some
Puritan gentry. [In 1630, some seventeen English ships sailed for
Massachusetts, with 1000 persons plus provisions and animal
stock].) </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Renewed anti-Spanish feeling after the Sandys/Smythe squabble:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Puritanism remained a strong theme in politics. In 1628-1629 were
parliamentary confrontations with the crown over unparliamentary taxation,
forced loans, arbitrary imprisonment, and Arminianism and persecution of
Puritans. A political opposition grouped around the Earl of Warwick, Lord Saye
and Sele, and Sir Nathaniel Rich and their colonizing ventures.</DIV>
<DIV>Brenner, Merchants and Revolution, pp. 148ff.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It would appear that Brenner is the first historian to strongly link the
second Earl of Warwick with the formerly unreported extent of the trading
engaged by Maurice Thomson and Thomson's associates.</DIV>

The fish don't. Surely the British had plenty of fish, and
still do. Why would codfish be sent back to England - or were they
not sent back? Was it only to feed arriving

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><BR> <BR></FONT><FONT
