Son of Jonathan and Frances Whitmore Thompson. Great grandson of James Thompson. Married Ruth Wright on December 31, 1730.
Samuel, fifth son and eighth child of Jonathan and Frances (Whitmore) Thompson, was born September 8, 1705, in what is now North Woburn.

While unloading timber in the spring of 1748 he received a severe injury which was followed by a fever resulting in his death, May 13, 1748, while in his forty-third year. He married Ruth, daughter of Joseph Wright, and a great-granddaughter of Captain John Carter, one of the first settlers of Woburn. They were married December 31, 1730. and she survived him more than twenty-seven years, dying October 3, 1775. Their children were: Samuel, Daniel, Ruth, Abijah, Mary, phoebe, Lois and Jonathan.
