I'll bet he is the John Thompson who is Jim's younger brother. Minnie's age would be perfect to be this John's daughter. PLUS, the fact that his middle name is Franklin and gr-gr grandpa's dad was Benjamin Franklin seems a lot to be just cooincidence. My great aunt Geneva says she used to hide under her parents' bed when Uncle John would visit because he was kinda cranky sounding or something LOL. He was really old when he would come here to visit in the 1930's but no one could really remember where he came from to get here. Thanks for posting! I'm SO excited to find someone probably descended from the previously missing Uncle John Thompson!
