Thanks, Alli! I had a quick look at my files. Caleb Thompson went east with the NC Cherokees in the spring of 1882. This was an official group and somewhere I have a copy of the muster, but hanged if I can put my hands on it. He did have other siblings besides Elizabeth, but his ECA shows none lived to adulthood. These were mostly the children who went to IT. Elizabeth Thompson Meadows shows they also had a brother Peter that Caleb did not list and for whom there is no birth or death information. That might be a good thought. Their mother was Mary Pauline "Polly" Starr. Elizabeth Thompson Meadows was born about 26 April 1826 in Cherokee County NC according to her ECA. It is entirely possible she had a liaison before marrying William Meadows that produced children. She married Meadows sometime around 1849. There is a Long family living just a few households away in Union Co GA in 1860. I'll play with this at the weekend if I can - gotta do a band competition first, though, so it might be later than that. There are also several letters in the records of the Cherokee Agency in TN that reference what might be David Thompson's kin. I'll get them converted to PDFs and send them to you. David Thompson also could have had an family before or concurrent with Nancy. This is more than plausible. Debbie,I have pasted in David Thompson's muster entry along with another that may interest you. David and Nancy Rider Thompson went west in 1834 in company with the Quintons. This roll and several stories affiliated with it, documented by family members and by Lt. Harris are on-line. It's so sad that 5 of David Thompson's family died so close together. No wonder he went back east! David Thompson Removal The foregoing were removed in wagons and steam boats by Lt. J W Harris to the New Country on May 16, 1834 The following Emmigration Roll of persons who left Cherokee Nation East after receiving their commutation allowance.

LOL I have an Elizabeth Thompson too…..except she was married to a James Adams. She was from NC & he was from Tn. Her siblings were David & James. David I think died in the late 1800’s not sure about James. There was mention of a daughter, but no name. James Adams was named after his dad also a James. There was a Nellie Adams listed, but I have absolutely no idea if it’s the Jr Adams’ mom or an Aunt or even a sister. Elizabeth’s parents were Thomas Thompson & Delphia unknown. She’s suppose to be the Cherokee That’s all I know :o) From: Susan Reynolds [mailto:s3js9938@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, October 26, 2015 10:08 PM To: Alli :) <iamcheroke@gmail.com>; CherokeeGene <cherokeegene@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [CherokeeGene] Thompson, Long, etc Thanks, Alli!

Susan, I just found another complicated.     Lovada Ann Thompson used surnames indiscriminately.   Sometimes MORGAN, sometimes DAVIS.    I'm pretty confident she did marry a MORGAN at one time. Now though I am not sure that John Allen MORGAN who I thought her son is hers.  He was living near her on occassions and family had pics of him and thought that was the relationship.   I just found his social security application, in which he lists not Jos. Morgan but a James MORGAN a father, and not Lovada Ann Thompson but Eliz. THOMPSON as mother.   If this is correct, than my Eliz. LONG THOMPSON might have remarried a James DAVIS.    Where?  I am not sure, as I have not found her in 1860.   You will recall Uly Arminda Thompson, her dau. born abt 1860.    Well John Allen Morgan is born abt 1879.  However, Eliz. THOMPSON was living with her dau. Arminda in 1880 with no son...  so I'm just not sure abt this John Allen MORGAN's info.   this is the way it always is with this particular family.   Misinformation abounds.

I have a question. I have two Thompson girls who married into my family and I have their birth dates from old bible pages. They were living in LA first with their parents, then with their siblings the next year. The names were SARAH JANE THOMPSON with the date of 27 Apr 1842? (I have the question mark because the last number of the year on the page is dim and hard to read The second girl was NANCY JANE THOMPSON dated 27 Apr 1842 which is very clear. I also have a tintype of the two girls dressed alike. These girls were in JOHN and FRANCES THOMPSON's household in 1850 in Calcasieu Parish, LA. In 1860 they were living in separate household, NANCY in JEFFERSON EVANS' H/H and SARAH in MOSES DANIELS' h/h/ in Rapides Parish, LA (both parish names were one at one time). In 1850 John and Frances Thompson were listed in the h/h next to Archibald Thompson and JAMES THOMPSON was living next to them. Daniel Moses married Eliza Thompson and Jefferson Evans married Mary, the girls' sister. Nancy and Sarah married brothers, Haley and James Z Weeks who lived in Newton Co, TX, joined the Rebs in Rapides Parish, LA. The Weeks, Daniels and Evans families ended up in Angelina Co, TX. Now my questions is this, what was the relationship of these girls? I have documents of their birth, they lived NEXT to Archibald Thomas, yet researchers on him deny relationship. There has to be some connection. Especially since so many of the families migrated to East Texas. Any help would be appreciated.
