/?*//,
JOHN THOMSON
John Thomson, was born in the north of Wales, in
the year 1616. It is said his father died shortly after his
birth, and his mother married again. The name of the
step-father is concealed from the memory of man, behind
that impenetrable veil of oblivion, which time b spreading
over the generations of man. The legal parents became
the protectors of the child. He went where they went, and
received his scanty education from their lips.
He came to this country in the third embarcation from
England. The second, which arrived at Plymouth, was
Capt. Robert Cushman, in the Fortune, bringing thirty-five
families, the remainder of Robinson's society. Nor. 11th,
162t. The third arrival was two vessels, containing sisLty
or seventy men, some of them had families, under the
patronage of Thomas Weston, a merchant of distinction,
in Iiondon. Among this number, was the subject of this
treatise. They landed at Plymouth early in the month of
May, 1622. John Thomson was then in the siith yeat
of his age.
Whether originally all, who bear the orthoepy of the
family name, wer€ of the same family, cannot now easily
be ascertained. The first knowledge we ^ave of the name
with any certainty, is from the ancient record of heraldry,
Digitized byV^OOQlC-
when aristocracy ioTented a badge, to distinguish th«
royal degrees of family ^eatoess* Tfic^ the name was
familiarly koowD in England, Scotland and Ireland. They
each spelt the name differently, and were oofisidered as
distinct families. They each selected a diffei'ent badge
of heraldry.
Those in the southwestern part of England spelt their
name Tompson. There was one descended from this
family, settled in the ministry at Berwick, on the Piscata-
qua river, Re.v. John Tompson. Those in Ireland, spelt
their name Thompson. Those in the south of Scotland,
spelt their name Thomson. Of this family were the cele-
brated poet James Thomson, and Charles Thomson, the
Secretary of the Continental Congress, in revolutionary
days. The north of W^ales being contiguous to Scotland,
we are led to consider the subject of our inquiry a de-
scendant of the Scottish family, and not of the Irish.
The circumstance of his youth, when he arrived in
this country, and the limited means of education which
he had, would lead us to conclude, he did not know his
lineage. This conclusion is strengthened from the cir-
cumstance, the signature to his will is spelt Tomson.
This may^not be viewed strange or unaccountable, when
we bear on our minds, the vast number of pers<in's in Eu-
rope, who then and even now, have no specific knowl-
edge of their grand parents. Even in our own country,
with all the means of education and records, cases may
easily be found, where a person could not tell from what
nation in Europe his progenitor descended. We natur-
ally look amongst the best informed in that day for cor-
rect information. In his deed of Spring-liill, his name is
spelt Thomson. Rev. John Cotton, the first minister ta
Digitized by V^OOQIC
Halifax, spelt his name in this way ; and the records of
the town of Mendon, spell the name in the same manner.
The letter p was not introduced into the name by any of
his descendants, till a century and a half had rolled
away.
Tradition is silent respecting any incident in his life, till
he arrived to manhood. Then it presents him to us in
many events interesting and entertaining. It appears
from his will, he was a carpenter. Besides building
houses for others, he built one for himself in each of the
places he selected as a settlement, and one for each of his
sons, John and Jacob, in the latter place. Tradition says
he built the first framed Meeting-house in Plymouth, and
as a compensation for his labor, the town gave him a deed
of a piece of land, from the Market-house, back, extend-
ing to the herring-brook, now called Spring-hill.
He married xMar3cCook, the second daughter of Fran-
cis Cook, who was one of the first adventurers in 1620.
John Thomson makes his first appearance as a farmer,
at Sandwich. He purchased in that part of the town called
Nobscusset, where he lived a few years. He thought he
could better his fortune for himself and children, by mov-
ing into the more interior part of the country. He accor-
dingly selected a place, thirteen miles west of Plymouth,
on the confines of Bridgewater, Middleborough, and what
wa« then called Plymouth, now Halifax. Here he built a
log house in Middleborough, about twenty rods west of the
Plymouth line, where he lived till the house was burnt by
the Indians.
His settlement amidst a surrounding savage enemy,
must have been attended with many troubles and fearful
ipprehen»ion«. He must have felt the need of all the
Digitized by VjOOQIC

confidence in God that religbn couid aiibrd, wbich
brought our fathers into this country. He ielt the neces-
sity of using every precaution which his ingenuity could
suggest, or his wisdom dictate. Orni tradition has handed
down to us a few incidents illustrative of this remark.
There was at that day, a stream of water near the west
side of the house, where fish resorted, but the hand of
improvement has caused it to become dry for a considera-
ble distance — and even then nothing hut a rill. One mor-
ning, he had caught some fish, his wife had them over the
fire cooking ; two Indians came into the house in a very
morose manner ; one of the Indians went to the pot and
pulled out one of the fish by the tail, upon which she re-
proved him very sharply — the other Indian then drew his
knife and brandished it at her in a threatening manner —
she immediately seized the splinted broom, and heroically
drove them out of the house. Their behavior was such,
it excited a fearful alarm in her mind. This she related
to her husband when he came in, which led them to go
that night to the garrison at Middleborough, a distance of
seven miles. After peace was concluded they returned
to their farm. There is another instance related* worthy
of notice. Three Squaws came to the house one after-
noon, and were exceedingly friendly — they were very oflS-
cious^n proffered assistance and varied acts of kindness ;
they went with her into the garden, and cheerfully assist-
ed in picking beans for the next day's repast. This singu-
'lar benavior she related to her husband on his return — he
replied, '< we must instantly pack up our things, and go
to the garrison."
There is an oral anecdote of a policy which he adapted
for his preservation firom Indian suifrise. He agreed
Digitized by V^OOQIC
^tlk a man by the name^ JabgsT Soiule, irlie bftct Mtlied
ki the northwestdrn p»rt oC what is now called Plyttpton^
lo eatiGe a young Incli^Mi to come and liv« witli them^ and
learn to work and live like the English. They snceeeded
in their overtures^^the Indian ^ame and lived with ieach
ol them alternately, two week®. They studied to please
him by flattery, and in every little eompetitioo of strength
or agility, by giving him the advantage, or yi*^lding to his
superiority. When the Indians agreed to make war on
their white neighbors, this young Indian wonld secretly
steal away and join them — his absence became aWAiHing
immediateiy to repair to the garrison. When ^hey had
made peace with the English, this young Indian would
return and live with them ; in this management be igno-
rantly became their protactor. One day, while this young
Indian was at work with our ancestor, he <rfwerved to
the Indian, ** I wonder they never attempted to kill me."
•• MastCT," said the Indian, ** I have cocked my gun
many a time to shoot you, but I loved you so well, I could
not"
At another time, on a Sabbath morning, wfeile his wife
and children had rode to meeting, several Indians came
into his house, in a turbulent manner ; he was appr^en-
aive his life was in danger— he took his seat in the corwer
of the room, with his noted gun in his lap-4his so tenriii^
«d these cowardly intruders, they soon left the house.
Their behavior within and without was such, he was con-
vinced all was not right. He butied his money, and hid bis
most valuable things in the most secluded places. Whe«
bis family returned from meeting, they F^Pf^ed to goto

On hb way to the garrison, be passed by the ^ettiemeat
of a Mr. DaQson, in Middleborougb, bat he coRclnded
not to go till early in the morning; he had rode but a
short distance in the mornings when he stopped his horse
to drink, this gave the Indians an opportunity, and they
shot hifli. Tl^ rill where he was shot, is called Danson's
brook. The next day, our ancestor sent his son John,
with two others from the garrison, to the deserted farm,
to take oare of any thing worth saving ; in passing the hol-
low between the fort and where the Congregattonal Meeting
House ilbw stands, he discovered in the horse-path, apair
of leather shoes, and at a short distance farther a beaver
hat, which belonged to Danson. He considered theni a
decoy, and put his horse in full speed; when they return-
ed neither of them were there.
The people^ who were capable of bearing arms, met and
chose our ancester their commander. He formed his men
in. a solid square, and there were four men in front, and
four men deep. He applied to the Governor and Council
at Plymouth for a commission ; but they considered the
company so small, gave him a general commission as Lieu-
tenant commandant, not only of the field, but of the gar-
rison, and all posts of danger. Thus commissioned, he
equipped himself and company with a gun, a brass pistol, a
sword and a halbert. The gun is supposed to have been
brought into this country with them. It is of the follow-
ing description : The whole length of the stock and bar-
rel, seven feet, four and a half Inches; the length of the
barrel, six feet one inch and a half; the size of the cali-
bre will carry twelve balls to the pound ; the length of the
face of the lock ten inches ; the whole weight of the gun»

iwentj poands, twel? e oimces. The wh^ length of the
Bword three feet, five and a iialf inches ; the length of the
blade from the guard, two feet, eleven inches and three-
eighths. Iludebras has very accurately described this
sword-
'^For want of use it has grown rusty,
And ate into the blade for lack
Of something for to hew and hack.''
These two have descended to Capt. Zadock Thomson,
of Halifax; Capt. Jabez P. Thomson has the hrass pistol;
Capt. Asa Thomson has the halbert; the top part of the
halbert is broken off— the present st^ is evidently not
original. . On the face of it is cut the date of the year
when made, 1623,
At the commencement of Philip's war, in 1675, the In-
dians becanie so morose, the people in the mouth of June,
fled for safety to the fort, which was built near what is
caUed the Four Corners in Middleborough. The Indians
would daily appear on the southeasterly side of the river,
and ascend what is called the hand-rock, because there
was the impression of a man's hand indented on it.
There they would be in fair sight of the fort. Here the
Indians would present the seat of hqnor to the people in
the fort, and in an insulting manner would slap their hand
on it. This they did for several days; there were thirty-
five famUies in the fort, being all who had settled within
the town. The people became tired of such daily insults;
Lieut. Thomson ordered Isaac Howland, a distinguished
marksman, to take his gun and shoot the Indian in the
attitude of insulting them ; this he did, by elevating his
gun, and ffave the Indian a mortal wound in that honora-
ble part of the body presented to the fort in an in&ulting

manner; Filted with T^venge ft>r their WoCinded compati-
ion, the i»di&ns immedrat^ly^ toek to the woodd ; rtinnltig
down the hili to the mill jast below the fort, where the
miller was at work — the miller discov4sted themeoming,
seized his coat and fled ; he placed his coat on the end of
a stick, as he run throag^h the brush to the fort : held the
coat over his head, and suffice it to say, the coat was per-
forated with several balls, before he could arrive at the
fort ; they then burnt the mill. The Indians dragged
their wounded companion two miles and diree-qtiarters, to
the deserted hou^of William Nelson, on the farm now
owned by Major "whomas Bennet. The Indian died that
night, his companions then buried him with their accus-
tomed ceremonies, and burnt the house. In the year
1821, nearly one hundred and fifly years afler the Indian
had been buried. Major Bennet improved this spot of land,
and ploughing the same, he disinterred some of his bones,
a pipe, a stone jug, and a knife, all very much decayed,
under the slow but all-devouring hand of time. Major
Bennet actuated by a laudable design, went a few years
past, and measured the distance from the old fort to the
rock where the Indian was, and made the astonishing dis-
tance of 155 rods ; nearly halt a mile.
In the year 1677, John Thomson built a frame house
' near the same spot where the former house was burnt, and
made a garrison of it. He cased all the outer posts, faced
the joists to the inner side of the sills, -und laid brick
in mortar on the sills to the beams, and leaving a small
window on each side to each room. This house occasion^
ally underwent various repairs, and was the residence of
the Mh generation. It was taken down in 1838, having
been inhabited 160 y«ars.

As yet we have &m\j viewed the toei^ktuts of bis U(e in
relatioo to hb woiidty ooneerns. We ougirt not to i>as8
in silence, the great objeei which led him to come into
this coORtry. His mcn-aJ and religious character conlains
useful iostrttction to his desoeiidaifts, and in many respects
sharply reprove them for their degeneracy. His custom-
ary hour of rising in the morning was at 4 o'clock, espec-
ially on the Sabhath morning. The breakfast repast
must be closed, even in summer, on or before the rising
sun. He was a regular atten^nt on the duties of the
sanctuary, and by bis example be showjed that he felt the
sacredness of liberty of conscience, and was determined
to improve it, as a precious gift of God. After he had
made his clearing and moved into his log house, either he
or his wife would go every Sabbath to Plymouth, the only
place where they had an Elder to speak to them, a distance
of more than thirteen miles. We have orally received in-
formatbn, that his uiie, one year» on two of the Sabbaths
in June, after breakfast took a cl^iJd six months old in her
arms, and walked to Plymouth, attended meeting, and re-
turned home the same day.*
Nor were his children to the third generation less zeal-
ous of enjoying the happiness of sanctuary privileges. It
was a common practice among them to make a cheese on
Sabbath morning, in the summer, provided they could get
it under the press before^ the sun arose, and then they
would prepare to goto meeting. His grand children were
regttlarly found aipong the worshiping assembly, on the
Sabbath. It is stated, the cfaihireii of Jacob, his son,
started one 8abbatb morning for Plymouth, they had to
cross a dismal swamp, which iay between i^ess^JUnasa

fitortdirant now lives, and where CakB Loring formerly
kept a tavern. They arrived near the awanip before day-
light, and were greatly frightened by the numerous howU
ings of the wolves^^tbey climbed a large rock which was
near Amasa Sturtevant's, and there tarried in iearful sus-
pense till the sun arose.
CoDvpare their zealous attachment to religious worship
with those of the present day, and we should little sue-
pect we were the children of such an ancestor. We cer-
tainly do not honor bis character, cr feel zealous to assim-
ilate his piety. We feel it a burden to walk two miles to
meeting instead of thirteen.
He closed his industrious- and useful life, June 16th,
1696, nearly eighty years old. He was buried in the first
burying ground in Middleborough. His grave remains
undistinguished from others, except a very small stone,
which is said to be the second stone erected. Mary, his
wife died March 21, 1714, in the eighty-eighth year of her
age. Here he and his wife have silently laid nearly' a
century and a half. It would be an honorable act, which
posterity might view with pleasing emotion, if some of his
descendants, in token of respect, should erect a monu-
ment over his resting place.
His children were, Adam, John, Mary, Esther, Eliza-
beth, Sarah, Lydia, Jacob, Thomas, Peter, Mercy.

their clothing and exposure to the severity of the weather,
is' a subject for the consideration of the philosopher.
