Phoebe-- Could you give a rundown on your James Thompson family and the families that were connected to it? I'm sure you've sent it to me before, but I would really appreciate an update. I'm still looking for a Thompson, possibly James, who may have had a family in Dutchess County in the mid- to late-1700s. Thanks!

My interest in that deed was the seller because my ancestor, Moses carpenter had also had deed associations with the Sayers. My ancestor, John Wisner, Jr. married as his second wife, Sarah Hall sometime before 1800. I have the names of their children. I am descended from his first wife, Mary Thompson, dau of James and Marah (McDowell) Thompson. Phoebe n a message dated 3/23/2007 4:55:15 A.M.
