Hi, I don't know anything about John, but am curious about his brothers. You see I am hung up on the Thompson's also, I am trying to find out who the parents are of Lydia Thompson who married James Neal and her brother Ransome Thompson who apparently never married. He is buried at Mt. Bethel in Pickens County,S.C. and his sister is buried at Fairview Methodist Church in Oconee County, S.C. Have you heard of these people? Could they be from one of the brothers?
