William Tompson was born in 1598 at Lancashire, England.2 He matriculated at Brasenose College, Oxford Jan. 28, 1620/1 aged 21 years, then was minister at Winwick in Lancashire "for sundry years together" before coming to New England in 1636 and was admitted to the Dorchester Church Aug. 23, 1636. He then preached for a time at Accomenticis (now York) Maine, but Nov. 19, 1639 he was chosen as first minister of the new Church of Braintree (now Quincy) where he remained the rest of his life except for a trip to Virginia in 1643 as leader of a party of ministers sent by the churches of New England to aid that colony. In his last years he suffered from a form of melancholy and seldom preached, his assistant or teacher Rev. Henry Flynt being called upon to carry on the work. In conjunction with his friend Rev. Richard Mather of Dorchester he wrote a book entitled "An Answer to Mr. Charles Herle", reviewing affairs in Lancashire in which they had taken part, published in 1644; and another in 1650 called "An Heart Melting Exhortation".2 He married Abigail Collins, daughter of John Collins and Grace Wagger, ~ 1625.2 He was made freeman of the colony May 13, 1640, and that same year received a grant of 120 acres for services rendered. This grant was triangular shape and lies directly south of Great Pond in present Randolph and bordered west on the inlet to the pond called Narroway River. It was laid out and surveyed in Nov. 1658 and the original map of it is now at Mass. Historical Society, (donated in 1921 by Zenas French of Holbrook), but partly illegible. On Jun. 18, 1661 Dea. Samuel Tompson "by order of his father William Tompson & mother Anna Tompson" sold it to John Hull, Edmund Quincy, and William Penn. "120 acres given by the town of Boston to my father William." (S. D. 13:49). In 1645 he was chaplain of the quota of 200 men raised for the campaign against the Narraganset Indians.2 He married Anne Brigham Widow Crosby, daughter of Thomas Brigham and Isabel Watson Ellithorpe, ~ 1645 at Braintree, Norfolk, MA.2 He died on 10 Dec 1666 at Hancock Cem.,Quincy, Braintree, Norfolk, MA; oldest inscribed stone in cemetery.2 He resided on the east side of present Chestnut St. in Quincy, near Canal St. & had other lands granted at Broad Meadows in 1644.2 He died intestate and an agreement was made mentioning widow Anna, "our youngest sister Hannah, and the other children, Samuel Thompson, Joseph Thomson, Benjamin Thomson, and William Vezy, children of Mrs. Thomson deceased." Joseph Crosby, Mrs. Thomson's son shall be security". Mrs. Ann Thompson was administratrix with Samuel Thomson the eldest son in behalf of the rest.2 He did not have a son Rev.
