What are the sources you used that prove Jesse was Andrew's father and Benjamin was Jesse's father? I have found deeds in Hancock County, of a Benjamin Thompson, Sr and his wife Anne buying land in Hancock County, and also a Jesse Thompson and his wife Anne buying land in Hancock County in 1796. Also other misc. deeds. Who was Andrew's mother as Jesse did not marry Nancy Clarke until 1800? I also found a will abstract of a Benjamin Thompson, Sr. in Bute County, NC. with Zachary Thompson as one of the ex'rs. and a Benjamin Thompson will in Hancock County, GA naming a son Jesse. Just not sure if this is the same family. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
