IMPORTANT UPDATE! (Jul 2018)

According to, Christopher Gerrard, Pam Graves, Andrew Millard, Richard Annis, and Anwen Caffell, Lost Lives, New Voices: Unlocking the Stories of the Scottish Soldiers at the Battle of Dunbar 1650, (England: Oxbow Books, 2018),2 on page 252, William is categorized as:

Probable [that he is a Dunbar prisoner transported on the Unity]

Thompson/Thomson/Tompson/Tomson, William. Residences: Dover NH, Kittery ME. Appears: 1656. D.1676. Granted land at the same time as Scots who worked at the Great Works. However, a Thompson family was already living in the area, so he may not be a Scot. [Exiles; Banks; DR; SPOWS; Ch.7 & 8]34516

Suggested edit: "Scotch Prisoners Deported to New England by Cromwell, 1651-1652, William is listed as being from the Battle of Dunbar and working at the Great Works Saw Mill managed by Richard Leader, who fled to Barbados in 1656 after getting into a bit of trouble with ruling politics between Maine and

Massachusetts. He left the SPOWs destitute and it is unclear if he set them free at that time. However, grants of land for these men began appearing in court records at that time."

==================

William THOMPSON (1630c.-1676) received a grant of land in Dover, New Hampshire in 1656. This was laid out, 17 March 1558/59, "beyond Cocheco Logg Swamp." There is no evidence that William THOMPSON ever lived on this grant. On 15 October 1656, a grant made to John WHITE in 1651, was assigned to William THOMPSON. It was in Kittery, Maine, a short way below Sturgeon Creek. "Several indications suggest that he had married, about this time, the daughter of John WHITE."
