Nancy, I have gone to the Stonington Town Hall and the North Stonington Town Hall several times in the last six months looking for information on Joseph Loomer THOMPSON who was born in 1821 in CT and died in No. Stonington in 1887. I found the staff at both Town Halls very helpful. If you have any specific questions please let me know. By the way, if any one can find any information on the parents or CT town of birth of Joseph Loomer Thompson, that would be great. I have been after his parents or birthplace for 13 years. Thanks, Charlie King gg grandson of Joseph Loomer Thompson born 1821 died 1887 ___________________________________________________________________ Get Juno Platinum for as low as $6.95/month!
