Nancy, We have both had such a time with our Thompson lines, haven't we? Here's another puzzle I have run across in Butler County deeds. I wondered if you had ever come across these Thompsons. It concerned the estate of Robert Findley who died intestate without issue. The estate passed to his widow, Margaret Findley. The heirs were Jacob C. Thompson, and his wife, Christianna, of Linville, Wayne County, Iowa, and Athalinda Thompson, mother and legal heir of Daniel T. Thompson, deceased, and of Carnie Marion Thompson, both of Douglas County, Kansas, get together and appoint Reverend R. Y. Thompson of Kingsville, Johnson Co., Missouri as their lawful attorney concerning the land and real estate of the Findley's in Clay Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. Apparently the heir Daniel T. (shown as David T. on second page) died "among strangers" without issue or dependents. The heirs were asking that sickness and burial debts be paid for him from their shares. Then their is another document concerning the heirs of Elizabeth Thompson, sister of Robert Findley, that brings up letters of July and September 1884. In this, Reverend R. Y. Thompson is transferring property in Clay Township to Simon P. Painter for thirty dollars. The names make me curious. Do they fit in either of our Thompson lines? Glee
