John Thompson

http://longislandgenealogy.com/Surname_Pages/thompson.htm John Thompson probably William's eldest son, was a gun-smith living in Stamford Conn in 1667, according to the Stamford Land Records of that date. In 1668 he moved to Oyster Bay where he was accepted as the town smith. After some seeming difficulties with the Town fathers he left in 1672, removing to Setauket in Brookhaven. According to the Brookhaven Town Records he prospered here as Blacksmith for on June 6th, 1674, "the towne doth engage to pay Mr Tomson duely and truly and every yere for what work he doth for them in wheet pork Ingen (Indian I.e. wampum) or other pay that doth Satisfie him." He seems to have acquired considerable real estate, both by allotments and by purchase, as the records refer to many of his transactions. He stood well in Brookhaven, being made constable in 1684, and commissioner or selectman in 1686. In 1691 he conveyed to his son, Samuel a 50 acre lot on Mount Misery, along with use of the shop. He died before 1699. http://longislandgenealogy.com/Surname_Pages/thompson.htm
