To Laurie - lthompson@terrafirma.com.au RE Donegaleire-L@rootsweb.com 8-12-04 - Is it the THOMPSONs that you are searching for in Donegal? I have been searching Wileys and Porters there before 1840s, but my Thompsons were also of Irish ancestry, though I know not where. James Thompson b. 1795, d. 1842 in Lancaster Co., PA, USA, was son of Samuel Thompson and Agnes McCaslin. Anyone connect with any of these names?
