One source on the Reverend's children I have found is John Goodwin Herndon's article "Some of the Descendants of the Reverend John Thomson (c.1690-1753)" that appeared in The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography in 1943. It has: ROGER THOMSON (son of John Thomson) married in Amelia County 2 May 1750 ANN FERGUSON. It then states "nothing definite about this couple is known" but goes on to offer some possible descendants in Virginia. No mention is made of this being the Robert/Roger in NC. I have also seen stated that a record exists giving the name of NC Robert/Roger's wife as Letitia but I have not tracked this down myself. Several researchers have her name as Letitia Hazard but I am not sure if they have a source for the last name or whether it is inferred from her descendants having Hazard as a middle name. I suspect that all these lines in middle and west Tennessee using Hazard as a middle name descend from Robert and Letitia. I would like to see more descendants get tested to prove/disprove the relationships. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
