Martha's parents were among the first to organize Bellingham and the Baptistchurch there. The first meeting house was built in 1680, but by 1684 the congregation had outgrown the building. On 1 Jan 1694, John Thomson, Jr, Martha's father, bought the Mendon's "old Meeting House" (had been the congregational Church) for four pounds in current money of New England. That was back in Mendon. On 17 Nov 1719, the Thomsons and several other families made a formalpetition that they lived too far from the church and school to use them, soshould not have to pay taxes. They proposed establishing the new town of Bellingham.
