Bell feels quite sure that May 26, 1738 , is correct. The date, he says, is taken from an old Bible belonging to the family of Rev. William Thomson...The records of the Donegal Presbyterian, show that Rev. Samuel Thomson, Licentiate, was received from Ireland, Nov. 17, 1737, and his son, William was born in America. Notes - Dates of birth of herself and husband, and date of their marriage, found on the records of North Elk Parish (St. Mary Ann’s), Cecil Co., Md. Copy at Md. Hist. Society, Baltimore.
