historian mathematician naturalist
Zadock was born in Bridgewater, Windsor County, Vermont on 23 May 1796. He was the second son of Capt. Barnabas Thompson, a farmer, who was one of the earliest settlers in Windsor County, and Sarah (Fuller) Thompson. He was a descendant of John Thomson who was brought from Wales to Plymouth about 1622.
His education came slowly – he was twenty-seven when he graduated from college – for he had to work his way almost from the beginning. He graduated from the University of Vermont in 1823.
He did farm work (as little of it as possible, disliking it intensely), wrote and peddled his own almanacs and gazetteers, and taught school. Appointed tutor at the University of Vermont in 1825, he taught and wrote extensively in Burlington until 1833, edited a magazine, the Iris, and the Green Mountain Repository, and conducted astronomical observations for his own gazetteers and for Walton's Vermont Register and Farmer's Almanack. Between 1833 and 1837 he filled teaching positions in Canada, first in Hatley and then in Sherbrooke. His History of the State of Vermont, from Its Earliest Settlement to the Close of the Year 1832 (1833) had appeared just before he left Vermont, and in 1835 he published a Geography and History of Lower Canada, which went through several editions. In the same year he was ordained deacon in the Protestant Episcopal Church.
Returning to Burlington, Thompson taught in a boys' school at Rock Point and began the preparation of his most important work, History of Vermont, Natural, Civil and Statistical (1842). After more than ninety years it is still an indispensable book of reference on a wide variety of Vermont topics, including the involved and dramatic story of Vermont during its turbulent days of conflict, independence, and final statehood. The wealth of information it contains affords impressive evidence of Thompson's versatility, thoroughness, scientific conservatism, and perspicacity. Relatively few additions or corrections have been found necessary. The section on natural history contains a very adequate list of rocks, fossils, and minerals, including the commercial rock products of the state.
Thompson himself had built up a private cabinet of over three thousand specimens, widely known and visited. He described with much detail and accuracy, chiefly because he examined most of them personally, over a hundred and fifty species of birds, forty-eight fishes, thirty-five Amphibia and reptiles, fifty mammals, and over four hundred species of plants. He tells of the fossil elephant unearthed at Mount Holly, the fossil whale from Charlotte, and in the Appendix, published in 1853 and bound with the third edition of the work, he carefully describes the catamount (one of the last in the East) caught in Manchester in 1850 and the seal taken on the ice of Lake Champlain in the next year. The book abounds in excellent illustrations.
Thompson was appointed assistant state geologist in 1845, professor of chemistry and natural history in the University of Vermont in 1851 and state naturalist of Vermont in 1853. In 1851 by the assistance of friends he was enabled to make a trip abroad, and in the following year published the journal of his travels. Various books besides those named above came from his busy pen, but there remains to mention his only lucrative venture in publication, a school book called The Youth's Assistant in Practical Arithmetick (1825). This was popular, at least with school trustees, since it ran into fourteen editions and printings.
Thompson lived most frugally in a tiny frame house facing the University, and died of "ossification of the heart. "
He left behind him a remarkable record as a doggedly determined worker, a keen and careful observer in many fields, a clear and prolific writer, a notable contributor to and recorder of the history of his state. The Zadock Thompson Natural History Collection and Thompson's papers are maintained at the University of Vermont, and his home on the college campus is now the site of UVM's Employee Assistance Program.

He was a tall, lean Yankee, kindly and mild-mannered, beloved and trusted by a very wide circle of friends, and enjoyed an enviable position in the community.
On September 4, 1824, married Phebe Boyce, by whom he had two daughters.
