This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Thompson, Duff, Rowan Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5UB.2ACI/2601.1 Message Board Post: I would also like to know about these Thompsons. I know that I am descended from the two Isaac Thompsons. I only recently discovered that they had been in Burke County for many years. I know that Isaac Thompson Sr. married Mary Duff in Rockbridge Co. VA in 1786. His War of 1812 pension was filed from Burke Co. indicating he was born in 1754, which syncs with the family bible that I've seen transcribed. Isaac Jr. later moved to Blount Co. TN with his wife Ann (nee Rowan) and their children, among whom are the names Samuel and George (I realize those could have been common names, as they were the names of two key figures in the Revolution). I've only begun looking at Burke County for information. Any leads would be appreciated
