John TOMPSON, Gent

1589 - 1626  (46 years)

• Name	John TOMPSON  [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
  	John Thompson, in the year 1626, was living at 'Little Preston,' in the Parish of Preston Capes, Northamptonshire, England, with his wife Alice, and children. On the sixth day of November in that year, 1626, John Thompson made his will, signing his name to that form; both forms of spelling, with and without the 'h' are, however, used indiscriminately in the body of the will and on the parish register. When the eleventh of April 1627, came around, John Thompson was dead, and at that date his will was probated in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. Alice was probable the second wife of John Thompson. The son Thomas, who is mentioned in his will, was, doubtless, a child of the first wife, and the eldest son, by reason of a better inheritance than the others received. Thomas probably remained in England . We do not know what date the widow with her children came to America, but previous to 1640 she was living at Roxbury, Mass. Probably it was there that the daughter Mary was m. to Rev. Ricard Blinman of Gloucester, Mass. The Tompson family in their English home held position, their social status being next to that of the county families. Mistress Alice must have been a lady of character and refinement. Her success in bringing her children through all their troubles and so well preparing them for the duties of life which they assumed, testifies to this. She m. 2d Robert Park. [1]
