A one surname lineal descent, of the Thomson-THOMPSONs, from the first James1 Thomson of Mystic Side/Charlestown, Massachusetts, who is said to have sailed with the Winthrop Fleet in 1630 or 1633 [of 1630-1635], through the family's Thompson lineage of Wooburne-Woburn, Massachusetts, and on to that of Brimfield, Massachusetts, U.S.. Concluding, with an outline of the only known line of Thompsons to emmigrate, out of the U.S., to Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada in 1810-1814...and on to the present, stopping with this writer living in the Niagara Peninsula of Ontario, Canada. His mother, her brother and his one cousin, being the only living Thompsons, left of this line.
