In 1910 census Ethel is residing in Merrimac County, NH with Frank & Josephine Thompson. It is believed she was residing in the Orphange/Home for the poor nearby. By 1920 Ethel Francis Corcoran name was changed to Jean Ethel Thompson. No Legal adoption took place in NH or MA. No legal name change was found. The Orphanage records are being checked. The Thompsons had no will or probate. Jean had no memories of her biological parents. She was pretty much disowned upon her marriage to Floyd Clark.

How do you get to Clan Thompson--I am a Thompson woman with no one to do Thompson DNA. I keep watching and looking for anyone who might be a Thompson with my father and grandfather. Father's name Frank Fuller Thompson (Minneapolis MN, b. 15 Oct. 1879--d. Salem OR, 08 Jan. 1961) m. Amanda Ervin, 22 Feb 1902 near Spokane WA. He had 2 children with Amanda, Duane, d. 22 Dec. 1932, Rapid City SD and Dona, d. OR, He had a sister, Daisy m. Phelps. Frank's father Samuel S. Thompson--some have said the 'S' might be Sylvester. S.S.'s b. in Minneapolis and d. in Minneapolis but I don't have the dates right here. He married Jennie Walker, divorced, married again, d. in train accident. Hoping someone will recognize these two!

His father, also Benjamin, was a son of the Bute Co Benjamin, eventually settling into what was to become Wilkes Co, Ga.,which was again divided into Hancock, Greene, and other counties. Benjamin wound up being in Hancock, and Zachariah in Greene. I believe they helped establish the Island Creek Baptist Church as well as others in the area. If you're able to locate him on a list, it would be very beneficial. Zachariah was probably born ca 1763-68, dying in 1796 or 97 before his father, leaving behind an unnamed spouse and children.
