Hi Judy, I am doing some research that include the Thompsons that you mention and would be interested in hearing from other Washington County Thompson researchers also. I have been lurking on the list and preparing to send some questions in that area so I might as well jump in now. Mrs. J. W. Thompson is likely the second wife of my great grandfather, Joseph Thompson Jr. 1845-1915. I am descended from his first wife, Margaret "Arabelle" or "Bell" Dye 1849-1872. The second wife is Edith L. Shearn 1857-1911. She is the mother of Eva June THompson 1887-1849 and Joseph G. Thompson 1888-1913. I am not exactly certain how the Waller's link to the Thompsons down the line but I have an unknown Waller in my tree who was married to my 4th great aunt, Elizabeth Leet born sometime probably between 1740-1770.

Judith (LOL - I feel like I'm talking to myself since I'm Judith too ), My Waller direct lineage starts like this... Pees married Anthony (surname) (twice)... Anthony married Denman... Denman married Waller ... Waller married Lane... Lane married McGary. Do any of those surnames fit into your research? But, I research full lines as much as possible so I research the "kids" of every family, their spouse, their kids, grandkids... to present (if I can). If you want I can give you more info on Wallers.
