The following is taken from a book by Nora Belle Thompson about her GF Atwood Thompson. If anyone can help me find info on this CHARLES THOMPSON, I would be in your debt. "......Charles Thompson a shipwright of Gloucester County NJ moved to Bucks County Pa. where on April 1, 1836 he bought land from Bernard and Mahlon K. Taylor. Charles and Rebecca Thompson sold land to William C. Coates on April 16, 1855 This establishes the fact that a wife Rebecca was in Bristol with him! It is certain that the children whose names we know were by this wife nee Rebecca Reeves because of the dates we have established and because of the recurrence of the names Reeve and Rebecca. According to Mary Hillborn, nee Burke, a granddaughter who lived in the same house as Charles Thompson in his later years he had extensive land holdings in Bristol. Doron Green in THE HISTORY OF BRISTOL BOROUGH and Mary Hillborn did not agree always as to where Charles Thompson lived. Mrs. Hillborn stated that her grandfather built a row of Brickhouses. He owned or lived in what came to be known as the Iredell House a small apartment building when I saw it. Mrs. Thompson died in the Dorrance Street House. Both agreed that Charles Thompson owned a shipyard on Adams Hollow Creek. The property extended to the "low water mark of river Delaware" It had been established in 1785 and had paased through several owners before Charles Thompson acquired it!""" It goes on to say that he lived to be 100 and on his gravestone , it has all three of his wives on it!!
