Hi Keith -- Nice to meet another Thompson, but Thompson is a name that was "taken" by my family a bit over 100 years ago -- goes nowhere for my family roots! The name I'm searching in Orange County is lots more difficult -- SMITH! (no kidding!) Robert was in the Revolution, but all I've located following that track is his signature! Wish it were Thompson -- I'd probably find a lot more. Best regards and good hunting, Carol Jo
