Mem [sic] my great grandfather Benj Thompson 3d born Aug 21, 1764 & Esther Osborn born Aug 21, 1758 Benj Thompson 6th Elijah Thompson, son of Benj Thompson 2d married Rebecca Riley of Cumberland Co NJ. The children of Elijah & Rebecca Thompson were: Butler, Patience, Elijah 2d, Hannah, Lydia, Jeremiah, Rebecca Riley & Daniel. Elijah the 2d wife Matilda Thompson after his death married Benjamin Thompson the 4th Newcomb Thompson (loose leaf) This record shows that as the son of Benj Thompson the 1st, he was born Mch 11, 1745. The New Jersey records of the Revolution state as follows: Newcomb Thompson 2d Lieut in Capt. Jacob Dubois Co 2d battalion, Salem NJ made Captain Jany 3, 1782 page 47 hist of Gloucester, Cumberland & Salem by Thos E. Cushing M.D & Chas E. Sheppard. This is undoubtedly the same man, a captain at 37 identified by the first or given name. This indicates that Benj Thompson the 1st & family were residents of New Jersey. J.V. Maxwell May 1906 Written on the inside of the front leather cover or back of the bible is the following: Philadelphia, Feby 21, 1870. This copy of the Sacred Scriptures was & is the old family bible of the Benjamin Thompson Family. At the close of Revelations it bears the imprint of 1746. It may therefore have been used by Benj Thompson 1st who died 1760. It most probably was used by Benj Thompson 2d who died 1786. It was undoubtedly used by Benj Thompson 3d who died 1814 & left it to his son Benj Thompson the 4th who at his death Oct 24, 1866 gave it to me (his son Ethan).
