Helen, I do know that John Thompson's father was John W. Thompson and they both came from County Tyrone, Ireland. A few years ago, Reva Ashcroft looked that up for us. She was excellent. She also found another John Thompson married to a Harriet that had a son with the same name as our John and Marie Ross - Moore Hamilton Thompson. But our Moore left Pa and married Ann Boston in Iowa. That made me wonder if earlier there was a connection between those two families. Was confusing to me so I asked her to stop the seach while I tried to figure out what to do. I never did get the documentation of John W. Thompson from County Tyrone. Guess I should write to her and ask her how she found that, since relatives are asking me how do I know it was County Tyrone. Hope fully this will help. Maybe if we found a church they went to.
