He came to Santa Barbara via Hawaii in 1834. Thompson was a merchant, otter hunter, farmer, stock raiser, and shipbuilder of the Washington, Bolivar Liberator, Fama and Loriot. He played an important role in the economic and political development of Santa Barbara. His younger brother, Alexander Francis Thompson, achieved fame as captain of the Pilgrim, made famous by Richard Henry Dana's Two Years Before the Mast. Dixey Wildes Thompson was his nephew, son of his older brother, John. Captain and artist, Frank Wildes Thompson, was another nephew, son of his younger brother, Wildes Thomas Thompson. Nine years after the Thompson marriage (1843), Francisca's father and her uncle (José Antonio Carrillo) were granted Santa Rosa Island. They in turn sold the island to Francisca and Thompson, and to her sister Manuela and her husband, John Coffin Jones who had married in 1838. The sisters paid their father $3,300 for the island, "one half in silver money of good quality and the other half in goods." According to Alpheus B. Thompson, the Carrillo brothers received the island: It is possible that his remains were moved to the New Calvary Cemetery in Los Angeles
