| Story* | In Family of Rev. Nathaniel Brewster by Donald Lines Jacobus, in The American Genealogist V.12 pg 221+, there is quite a bit of documentation of land records for John Thompson. Then Jacobus goes on to say: The above records prove conclusively that John Tompson of Brookhaven had lived in Stamford CT, from how early a date we don't know, where in 1667 he was the owner of a house and shop, which he sold in 1670; that late in 1668 he had been accepted as the town smith in Oyster Bay, where he lived from 1668 to 1672; that he removed to Brookhaven and in 1673 disposed of his Oyster Bay property. There is an Anthony Tomson, a tailor, with his wife Abigail, in the area at this time as well, and it is speculated that he might be a son. Jacobus points out the pros and cons, and says he may be a nephew, but concludes: A connection seems likely, but it cannot be stated positively on the basis of the evidence at hand that Anthony was John's son. As a result, Anthony is not included here as a son. There are a lot of erroneous, possibly fabricated, Brewster-Thompson "facts" that have been shown wrong by Jacobus. His article should be studied in depth by any researcher on this line. Stamford Ct land records (cited above):. pg 222 John had chattel mortgage to Richard Webb 1 apr 1667. pg 222 John had mortgage to Jonat. Sellick 29 Apr 1667. pg 223 Release from Jonat. Sellick 17 Feb 1667/8. pg 223 Sale of land from Thomas Lawrence 18 Mar 1667/8. pg 231 Mortgage of land from Jonathan Selleck 8 Nov 1668 (he describes himself as a gunsmith). New York Gen. & Bio. Record vol 22 (1891) page 33 says that he married Hannah, sister of Rev Nathaniel Brewster, but Jacobus shows this to be error as John's wife was Mary. History of Stamford CT, Huntington 1868 (SLC 0928516) has only info that is either not pertinent, or is a duplicate of information, for example, the sources include Thompson's Long Island. | |
