     James Thompson

James Thompson was born in Goshen March 1, 1741, and mist have been very nearly the first white child born in the town. He boult and occupies for nany years the house situated on the west side of West Street, facing the road which leads from that point to the residecne of Mrs. Moses Lyman. The dwelling has been recently torn down. What follows relating to his life is compiles from the recollections of those who know him, and found in letters addressed to his children after his death. He was above the average in size of men, say six feet high, and well formed. He was quick in action, cheerful in habits, kind in his attentions of children, winning their gratitude and confidence. Although a farmer, he was often engaged in building grist and sawmills. He owned and imporved large tracts of land. He owned more horses than any other man in town, introduced the first pleasure wagon, and, I think, the first wagon of any kind in the towm. He was active in town and society affairs, He was a slave-owner. He liberated "Old Hess" and his wife, built them a house and barn and gave them the use of as much land as they could cultivate, and always overloooked and advised them. He was an earnest and consistent Christian, distinguished for hid hospitality to ministers of the Gospel, and a pioneer in gegard to Christian benevolence. He was a liberal contributor to the Connecticut Missionary Society, the oldest missionary society in the country, sending the Gospel to the "new settlements". His wife was in complete sympathy with him in Christian benovolence and work. She was a woman of a degree of intelligence not in common in those days, and as a result of the parents' teaching and prayers, all their children have had a place in the visible church of Christ, or have died in the hope of the believer in Christ.
