Author: mailhes1 Surnames: Thompson, Hathorn Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.ethnic.afam.ms/1474/mb.ashx Message Board Post: While researching the Hathorn family of Covington County, I found that a branch of the family changed their surname to Thompson in 1880. As of yet, I don't know why this was done. However if you are looking for Reddick and Jane Thompson with the children Rich and Zana Thompson in the 1870 census,they are listed as Reddick and Jane Hathorn. They are still living a few houses down from Randall and Elizabeth (Betty) Hathorn. I would be interested to know the relationship between this family and Ike and Mahala Hathorn.
