My grandfather, on my dad's side, was Charles H. Thompson, Jr. He was born in Madison Co., KY in 1918. Unfortunately, he was killed in Burma during WWII in 1944. His mother, my great-grandmother, was Mary Thompson, married to Charles Sr. Her parents were W. James and Nancy (Azbill) Purvis. Mary was first married to William Thurman. He passed away, and she married Charles Sr. in 1916. She had two children when she was married to Mr. Thurman, one named Geneva, and a son, Harry. I was wondering if anyone out there are also decendants of W. James and Nancy Purvis, my great-great grandparents. I show they were from Jackson Co., KY and I assume my great-grandmother, Mary Thompson was from Jackson too, before moving to Richmond. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
