Genealogy > Thom(p)son Genealogy
Interesting questions...Thompson's on the boat?
Wthompson:
I was just thinking about Thom(p)son genealogy and decided that these would be interesting questions to know the answers to. I couldn't think of anyone better to ask than you all...
Does anyone know the names of the first Thom(p)son's who arrived to America? Along with the years and state that they arrived in?
What about the second "wave" of Thom(p)son's, the years, and the states...
What is the earliest record of the "first" Thom(p)son in the United States?
Stirling Thompson:
The first was I believe Edward Thompson who arrived on the Mayflower in 1620 but he did not survive the first winter but his brother came shortly after. David Thomson, the founder of New Hampshire dates I believe to 1623.

Well, if one came on the Mayflower, he is probably the earliest that we could document.............I've done some quick searching and haven't come up with anything earlier.
Anyone else?
Thomas B. Thompson:
My 11th Great Grandfather ( William Thompson and his brother Christopher )
came to Maryland in 1687. They were brought here from Edinburgh by a
Col. Ninia Beall. Haven't been able to find the name of the ship as of yet
still looking
