Looking for the following parents John Thomson & Anna Garris. Our Richard Thomson was born abt 1858/1859 in Harrisburg,Dauphin County. I noticed that when doing the Nolden/Thomson research that both families were in the Franklin area as well. Was curious about the Thomson families that lived in this area during the 1850 census. I show a John Thomson 23,Laborer living with William Thomson,57,Laborer from Maryland,wife Polly 50,PAIsaac 20,Laborer,Anna 15,Susan 14,Daniel 11,school and Jane 7 school. Listed 152/169. Also living in this area 152/170 Levi Thomson,29,Laborer,PA married within the year and Elizabeth,38,married within the year. 286/318 William Thomson,26,Laborer,PA,Susan,26,Elizabeth,6,Melinda 5,John 1. I would like to know if our Richard Thomson/Thompson who was born abt 1858/1859 could have been the son to John Thomson listed 152/169 Family. He listed his father as being German-American. Would appreciate it if anyone knew any of these members of the Thomson families that could help me out. Thanks Ginger Weston
