> This is from Gertrude E. Gray's VIRGINIA NORTHERN NECK LAND GRANTS Vol. I, p. 6. (Gray has 4 volumes, arranged chronologically). These were NN grants by Lord Fairfax, although I have read they were not strictly grants--a > legal technicality--don't worry about it now. I'm leaving out a lot of the detail from the published abstract. > > Patent Bk 2, p. 70 > > Thomas Thompson of Lancaster Co. died siezed of 81 A in Christ Church Par., Lancaster Co. part of 700 A granted Nicholas George 15 Feb 1652......[details of how the land is being treated now -- being assigned to someone else] - On Corritoman R., Seafold Point, Benjamin Doggett, George's Cr., adj Elmore George. 24 Nov 1694. I am looking for Thompson family that moved from somewhere to Weakley Co. TN. My Grandmother would not talk about or did not know about the Thompson line. My 3rd g grandfather was Robert Thompson Sr. I have not been able to locate him on a census. His son died in Obion Co., TN. I have children's names but not much else. Anyone also working on this family? Brenda Rhodes
