Are you connected to the Thompsons of Brimfield? You will find Savage
referring to James and family in the quotes below. If you are, please
contact me for some possible sharing of info. I am a direct descendant
of the first James.

"His wid. m. 15 Feb. 1644, James Thompson of Woburn; and his d. of the
same name m. 28 Nov. 1655, Jonathan Thompson.
