[102] David Thomson was sent over by Gorges and Mason in the spring of 1623, and commenced a settlement at a place called Little Harbour, on the west side of Piscataqua river, near its mouth. Christopher Levett says he stayed a month at Thomsons plantation in 1623. Afterwards, in 1626, or later, out of dislike of the place or his employers, Thomson removed to Boston harbour, and took possession of “a fruitful island and very desirable neck of land,” which were afterwards confirmed to him or his heirs by the government of Massachusetts. This neck of land was Squantum, in Quincy, and the island which is very near it, has ever since been called by his name. It is now the seat of the Farm School. Compare Savage’s Winthrop, i. 44, with Hubbard, in Mass. Hist. Coll. xv. 105; and see Adams’s Annals of Portsmouth, p. 10, and Levett’s voyage into New-England, in Mass. Hist. Coll. xxviii. 164. [103] So called after himself, by Captain John Smith, who discovered them in 1614. He thus describes them: “Smyth’s Isles are a heap together, none near them, against Accominticus.” They are eight in number, and are now called the Isles of Shoals. See a description and historical account of them in Mass. Hist. Coll. vii. 242-262; xxvi. 120. [104] “Governor Bradford gives no hint of this third repulse.” Prince, p. 219. [105] The following is an alphabetical list of those who came over in the Anne and Little James. Anthony Annable, Edward Bangs, Robert Bartlett, Fear Brewster, Patience Brewster, Mary Bucket, Edward Butcher, Thomas Clark, Christopher Conant, Cuthbert Cuthbertson, Anthony Dix, John Faunce, Manasseh Faunce, Goodwife Flavell, Edmund Flood, Bridget Fuller, Timothy Hatherly, William Heard, Margaret Hickes, and her children, William Hilton’s wife and two children, Edward Holman, John Jenny, Robert Long, Experience Mitchell, George Morton, Thomas Morton, jr. Ellen Newton, John Oldham, Frances Palmer, Christian Penn, Mr. Perce’s two servants, Joshua Pratt, James Rand, Robert Rattliffe, Nicholas Snow, Alice Southworth, Francis Sprague, Barbara Standish, Thomas Tilden, Stephen Tracy, Ralph Wallen. This list, as well as that of the passengers in the Fortune, is obtained from the record of the allotment of lands, in 1624, which may be found in Hazard’s State Papers, i. 101-103, and in the Appendix to Morton’s Memorial, pp. 377-380. In that list, however, Francis Cooke’s and Richard Warren’s names are repeated, although they came in the Mayflower; probably because their wives and children came in the Anne, and therefore an additional grant of land was made to them. Many others brought their families in this ship; and Bradford says that “some were the wives and children of such who came before.”
