  • Notes 
    • Samuel Thompson settled in Walpole, Massachusetts, formerly part of Dedham, Massachusetts, and may have been a descendant of earlier Thompson settlers of that section. The records are too imperfect to afford proof, however. He was born about 1720 and may have been one of the Scotchmen who settled in that vicinity about 1730-50. There were Thompsons bearing similar names in the adjoining town of Bellingham. He may have been a son or nephew of Ebenezer Thompson who settled in the adjacent town of Medway before 1697-98. Some of the Thompson family of Meclfield certainly lived in Walpole. Most ofthese families were descended from Samuel Thompson, born February 16, 1630, a settler in Braintree.

      Samuel Thompson, of Walpole, died there October 14, 1795. He was an active citizen and though too old to be a soldier he loaned money to the town to pay for men during the revolution. He married Mary_____. Children, born at Walpole: i. Samuel, May 6, 1749, married, April 3, 1/77, Olive Felch, and was a soldier in the revolution from Walpole; had two daughters; removed to Francestown, New Hampshire, with his younger brother Luther and died there January 30, 1825. 2.
