There were many Thompson families in early Brown County, Perry Twp. I have "collected" a few of them, but am not absatively pololutely sure that I have them properly connected. I'll post a few of them for your use. Use these only as a "clue" - they are not proven. It seems that there were about 30 Thompson families that left Yorkshire England about the same time and came to the U.S. in 1830 - not all of them to Brown County, OH - thank goodness. It's a real mess - gives me a headach just to think about it and I've not worked on this family for almost a year. Rots or Ruck. ************* 1-George THOMPSON b. Abt 1807, , , , England, d.
