Of this marriage were Elizabeth, who married John Cogswell, Maria, who was baptized in 1604, and other children, as mention is made in his will of five daughters. After the death of Mrs. Cogswell's mother, her father married Elizabeth _____, who survived him. Of the second marriage were two sons: William, who was baptized April 23, 1615, and Samuel, whose baptism is thus recorded in the Westbury Register: "1616, Samuell, ftlius Willmi. Thompsonn, Vicarie de Westburie, baptizal Novemb. 30."
