The Thompson Family Crest

These arms were brought over, in this country, by John Thompson, who reached Long Island, by way of Holland, in 1634. He was the son of the Reverend William Thompson, of county Lancaster, England; and the shield is that of the extinct barony of Haversham, once belonging to an ancient family of county Herts. We have seen various bookplates of members of this family in the Rousseau collection, amongst which that of William Thompson and Robert Thompson.
