I'm relying on memory here as most of my stuff is in storage. Joseph "Tanner" Thompson was, I presume, a leather tanner, hence the nickname. I know he had a son Joseph, Jr. In some notes I have somewhere, I recall I have some info on him, his wife's name and some of the children. Believe wife was named Ann. Joseph moved with the Quaker migration from the south to Clinton Co., Ohio, where he left a will. I have a copy of the abstract--also in storage. There is also some information about him in Annals of Newberry by John Belton O'Neal. I have a copy of the book (guess where?) and there is a bit of info on Joseph in there. I have a hunch that he was a Quaker although there is nothing about him in Quaker records in Newberry. That, of itself, doesn't mean anything since a good bit of Bush River Monthly Meeting Quaker records are lost. Whether he was or not, he was very close to the Quaker Community and I believe some of his children married Quaker. I descend from half of old Newberry--a great number of German immigrants into Newberry. And then, oddly, out of the blue, this is where my Quaker family went at about the same time as the influx of German immigrants. It makes a lot of my research so convenient. Give my memory a jog in a few weeks and I will check out what I have. My memory is really quite exceptional but as my stuff has been in storage 8 months, I've told so many people I had info in storage, I haven't a clue who they were unless they remind me. DJ
