In your Thompson line, is Moses Thompson, Tenn., mentioned anywhere? 1800 era? We have William Balinger Young married Minerva (Mary Jane) Thompson. Minerva may have NA in her ancestry. Can't find any information on her except date of birth and possible date of death. Both died in either Grant County or Saline County, Arkansas. Great Grandpa Wm. Bal Young is buried in Thompson Cemetery, non accessible at this time. Jane was living in Grant County, Ark. 1900 census.
