Hi Phoebe & anyone else interested in THOMPSONs. My own THOMPSON line is a brick wall that I've been unable to chip in any manner in the past five years: Samuel THOMPSON, b 18 Sep 1760---per Bible records. ---d 1828 in Otsego Co, NY, had settled there near Decatur prior to 1800. wife: Grizell INGALLS, b 1756, Rehoboth, MA per Bible records ---have been able to trace her line back to immigrant ancestor, Edmund INGALLS of England. They married 1780, in NH---Grizell had family there, having apparently removed to the area after the Rev. War. Have found NO connection between *my* Samuel & the numerous Thompson families of NH in his time. Have found NO evidence of Rev. War service for Samuel. Children, born 1781-1800: Rebecca; Roxanna (my line); Eunice; Hannah; Royal; Ruben/Russel; Caleb; Rufus; Nahum & Samuel, Jr. Any suggestions? Anyone recognize this family?
