Cindy: Thank you very much for the information on Ben Felty and the Felty children's association with the Thompsons. I am not sure how many children Simon Peter Felty had with Nancy F. Thompson but their son Benjamin Harrison Felty was my paternal Grandfather. He married my grandmother Etta Belle Hughey (there is a great deal of data on the Eastern KY Hughey family on www.gencircles.com or .net) in 1914 in Mancelona, Antrim Co., MI. I know his 1/2 brother Joseph Felty worked for the Antrim Iron Works there and died there in cir. 1950. It has been very hard to gather data on grandpa ben as the family has not been willing to talk about him. It is like he just came out of the fog one day. Thanks again, Garry R. Felty
