Mr. Thompson was one of the ablest historians the 

 State ever produced. 



Mr. Gilman in his Bibliography of Vermont well says: 

 "Mr. Thompson devoted the entire period of his life to 

 the interests and welfare of his native State, and his labors 

 are more gratefully appreciated as time passes. The best 

 monument to his memory is his works. The people of Ver- 

 mont have not publicly manifested that gratitude to the 

 memory of Mr. Thompson which his labors merit." 



He married, about 1826, Phoebe Boyce. Three chil- 

 dren were born of this marriage: Harriet F., born Feb- 

 ruary, 1827; Adaline Phoebe, born March, 1829, and a child 

 who died in infancy.
