I SUSPECT (albeit, no proof) that this John Thompson was the known son of that name of Matthew Thompson (who mentioned sons named Matthew "Junior," William and John in his 1753 Will....as well as a daughter who was named Margaret Thompson and a wife named Martha). I am not sure to which Davidson/Davison family the referenced Martha Davidson/Davison belonged. At various times in the 1700s and early-1800s, members of the Davidson/Davison/Davisson families in that Augusta/Botetourt/Rockbridge Co., VA area included (at a MINIMUM) members of DNA "Family 2," DNA "Family 7" (but they were not in Botetourt Co., VA until 1800), DNA "Family 12" and DNA "Family 16" at www.davidsongenes.org. It is interesting to note that the William Davidson in DNA "Family 16" who came into Botetourt Co., VA from PA around 1773-1774 or so (the part of Botetourt that became part of Rockbridge Co., VA in 1778) was a son of a John Davidson and an Ann THOMPSON. I have often wondered if that Ann Thompson was related to Matthew Thompson or William Thompson of Augusta Co., VA. A John Thompson and his son Thomas Thompson eventually owned the house that William Davidson had built there in 1775....but I am not positive as to the ancestry of those Thompsons (nor do I know for sure if they were related to the Mrs. Ann (Thompson) Davidson up in PA who was William Davidson's mother).
