Jessica . Interested in your comment "the Thompsons came from Norway" . Have you had a DNA test . I am a R1a . I have always thought the Thompson "P" was taken from the old English double S written like fs and originated in Yorkshire with the coming of the Norse raiders . Were you thompson on arrival or did you anglosize a Norwegan name .

Thompson, born somewhere in Kentucky around 1829 and married Lucy Wilson, possibly in Owen Co, KY, around 1850. I have not located George in 1850 and I know nothing about his parents. In a later census, he is shown as "Wash" Thompson, so his middle name *might* have been Washington, but... George & Lucy appear in Pike Co, IL and in Daviess Co., KY and then Lucy is back in Owen/Scott Co.,KY before her death there of consumption. No idea what happened to George. Since your post contains several of my key words - Thompson, George, and Wilson - I thought I'd ask. Thanks, Doug Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I descend from Samuel THOMPSON, b. abt 1728, Spotsylvania CoVA, who m. 1752 Anne "Nancy" JENNINGS, b. abt 1736, possibly Nottoway CoVA, d. 1811, buried in Pittsylvania CoVA. I believe Samuel was the son of Samuel THOMPSON, b. 31 Dec 1691, Ayrshire, Scotland, d. Louisa CoVA, 28 Aug 1753, and married abt. 1717, Mary McDonald. Samuel and Nancy's eldest son was Jennings THOMPSON, b. Dec 1761 in Amelia CoVA, d. 1845?, Pittsylvania CoVA, Revolutionary War veteran; m. 08 Sept 1890, Elizabeth STREET.

I for one do not read every post - if you want me to write you need to say what the location is and what time frame - you should also give at least one connecting name...
