My Georgia/Indian Territory ancestor was James Allen Thompson; his brother Benjamin Franklin Thompson (Frank) went to Texas and became very prominent there. I have quite a bit of information about these Thompsons if you think there's any connection. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
