He was the son of Burket Thompson who migrated to Autauga County. I was aware of the marriages you posted but I am looking for an earlier marriage which would have produced Lydia Mixon`s (wife of Burket Thompson) mother. Her father was William Joyce Mixon who married Christiana??? in the 1770`s.In 1790- they were in Cheraws District, SC. William died in 1809 and Christiana married a Filand or Filing. This (Christiana) sounds like a name which would have been given by a family with a German or Swiss background. The fact that the Mixons and Thompsons married into the Zeiglers made me think that there might have been an earlier marriage by these families. The interesting thing which I am trying to solve is the question which comes from a statement by the daughter of Burket Thompsons`daughter, Idella P Thompson Wadsworth. She stated in an article published in the Montgomery paper about 1900 that her grandfather owned and cleared offf the land which the state later owned in Spigener, Al. I have tried to connect her to some of the earlier settlers in that area but have been unable to be sure where she belongs. The settlers of these lands were Zeiglers, Spigeners, Lewis`s, Robinsons, Zimmermans, Foremans, McKeithans, and a little to the north of there were Thompsons and Owings. I`m not sure whether she was talking about a Thompson or a Mixon ancestor. Any help anyone can give will be greatly appreciated. Polly Clarke
