Benjamin Thompson (purportedly b. ~1723 in Cransley, Northamptonshire), married Sarah Munn, both of the parish of Cransley, on 8 Oct 1744 at All Saints Church, Pytchley, Northamptonshire. This pair of my 6th great-grandparents are the earliest of this line that I can confirm [so far]. 

Benjamin and Sarah had four children:
  1. Solomon Thompson Sr bap. 25 Aug 1745
  2. Priscilla Thomson bap. 6 Mar 1748
  3. Sarah Thompson bap. 28 Apr 1751
  4. William Thompson bap. 24 Jun 1753
All were baptised at St Andrew's Church, Cransley.

There are suggestions that Sarah Munn was born in 1725 and died in 1788, however, I have not yet seen any records to confirm this. So far, I've been unable to confirm any further records for this couple.
