I do not know if there is a connection to my Thompson family, but two sisters lived in Barry County. Louisa J. Thompson Wilson born 10/16/1834 in McMinn Co. TN Wife of Wilburn Hugh Wilson and mother of Harlon Hugh Wilson Died 2/20/1870, Barry County - buried at Osa Cemetery Martha C. Thompson Ellis born 9/22/1849, McMinn County, TN wife of Alvin Dowell Ellis Died 1885 in Barry County. This Thompson family was large and has proven difficult to trace. Males with the Thompson surname may have also migrated to Barry County with the sisters.
