    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Residence: Maine, USA

    Notes:

    · A Miles THOMPSON is mentioned in the court record of Boston 27 May 1643. This would fit with Miles being the son of David Thomson and Amias Cole, as Amias was remarried and living in Boston during that time frame.
    · Could the infant mentioned when David died be Miles??? and not John?? dates fit 1627; David died ca. 1628??? *see below
    · Miles lived in Kittery, ME, which is next door to the original Piscataqua settlement.
    · He lived on what was called the "Thompson" property...was it named after him or David & Amyes??
    · He was born ca. 1626/7 which would be well-timed in David's and Amyes' lives.
    A. David was still living.
    B. D & A's previous child, Ann-2, had been baptised (see Devon Parish records) in 1620 and died shortly thereafter.
    · In later years, Amyes and her daughter Mary Maverick Palgrave Hooke lived in Kittery as well. Were they on the "Thompson" property, too? Were they there because Miles was there? Or is it mere coincidence?

    * From "Robert Chapman - David Thomson Allied Family Lines"
    "Because the legal term in England and New England was "infant" for a minor child who had not yet reached his majority, some genealogists have apparently been confused by the fact that David's son, John, was termed an "infant" at the time of his father's death. ... Since John was born ca 1619, he was about 8 or 9 years old when his father died, and was properly termed legally an "infant" in the records of the Courts."
    NOTE: Doesn't mean there were not other children.

    Notes:

    English Explorer. David Thomson (sometimes spelled Thompson) was the first non-Native American settler of, and founder of, the State of New Hampshire. He also founded the city of Piscataqua, New Hampshire. David was apprenticed as a seaman as a youth, and made frequent trips to America. His first journey to America was in 1607, well before the pilgrims voyaged to the new land in 1620. He made another trip to New England in 1616. Thomson and others built a shelter in Biddleford Pool, Maine, to prove to Sir Fernando Gorges, a powerful British nobleman, that it was possible to survive through the winter in New England. Upon arrival, the ship was attacked by Native Americans until Thomson interceded. In his prior trips to America, he gained favor with the natives, including a native named Squanto. Thomson established a fishing trade, and when Miles Standish of Plymouth asked for Thomson's assistance to feed the starving Pilgrims, Thomson provided enough salted cod to keep the Pilgrims alive in 1623. Thomson's appearance in Plymouth that year was the source of the second Thanksgiving Day at Plymouth. Thomson moved south from New Hampshire to Boston, Massachusetts. An island was named after David, and today, Thompson's Island remains one of the last undeveloped parts of the city of Boston. David Thomson disappeared in 1628, never to be seen or heard from again. It is suspected that he drowned in Boston Harbor. A book titled "First Yankee" was written about the life of David Thomson

    From: https://www.nh.gov/almanac/history.htm?fbclid=IwAR06qmB-n-Kp0zI71dAXbQn0LdTfj0Oaj2ee3X35oO0k1rz_xzyHw-dzCLc

    Early historians record that in 1623, under the authority of an English land-grant, Captain John Mason, in conjunction with several others, sent David Thomson, a Scotsman, and Edward and Thomas Hilton, fish-merchants of London, with a number of other people in two divisions to establish a fishing colony in what is now New Hampshire, at the mouth of the Piscataqua River.

    One of these divisions, under Thomson, settled near the river’s mouth at a place they called Little Harbor or "Pannaway," now the town of Rye, where they erected salt-drying fish racks and a "factory" or stone house. The other division under the Hilton brothers set up their fishing stages on a neck of land eight miles above, which they called Northam, afterwards named Dover.

    Nine years before that Captain John Smith of England and later of Virginia, sailing along the New England coast and inspired by the charm of our summer shores and the solitude of our countrysides, wrote back to his countrymen that:

    "Here should be no landlords to rack us with high rents, or extorted fines to consume us. Here every man may be a master of his own labor and land in a short time. The sea there is the strangest pond I ever saw. What sport doth yield a more pleasant content and less hurt or charge than angling with a hook, and crossing the sweet air from isle to isle over the silent streams of a calm sea?"

    Thus the settlement of New Hampshire did not happen because those who came here were persecuted out of England. The occasion, which is one of the great events in the annals of the English people, was one planned with much care and earnestness by the English crown and the English parliament. Here James the first began a colonization project which not only provided ships and provisions, but free land bestowed with but one important condition, that it remain always subject to English sovereignty.

    Notes:

    Anthony Emery, a carpenter from Romsey, Hampshire, England, set sail for America with his wife Frances Porter aboard the ship "James" in 1635. Together with his brother John and John's family, they embarked on a journey that would significantly shape their lives and the Emery family lineage in the New World.

    Upon arrival in Boston on June 3, 1635, Anthony initially settled in Newbury, Massachusetts. Around 1640, he moved to Dover, where he became an influential community member, signing the "Dover Constitution" and running an "Ordinary" (an establishment serving wine and food). He was also appointed as a selectman and was granted the right to operate a ferry and an inn in 1650. Despite facing fines for questioning the authority of the court in Kittery and for entertaining Quakers, Anthony's prominence in the community was evident. He served multiple times as a juryman and selectman, acknowledging himself subject to the government of Massachusetts Bay.

    In 1660, seeking greater liberty, Anthony and Frances moved to Portsmouth, Rhode Island. He continued his civic engagement, serving as constable and deputy to the General Court. Anthony's last known record is from 1680, transferring land in Portsmouth to his daughter Rebecca Sadler. Both Anthony and Frances eventually returned to Newbury, Massachusetts, where they passed away. Their legacy continues through the rich history of the Emery family, a testament to their pioneering spirit and resilience in shaping early American society.

    Anthony married PORTER, Frances before 1631. Frances was born in 1605; died on 12 May 1660. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
