See the History of Cambria County, Pennsylvania, Henry Wilson Storey (available on google books). Says essentially that Thompsons from Ireland married Thompsons from Scotland, settled in Westmoreland county, then moved to Cambria County. I'm thinking this might be your family because my Butler to Mercer County relatives first settled in Cambria. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
