I am looking for lots of info on John Wesley Thompson born July 7, 1906 in West Virginia. But there is a rumor that him and or his family were from Trinidad Island. I don't have a mother or father name. I was told that they died when he was young and John was raise by a relative in West Virginia or Pennsylvania. John had 4 children that I know of, John Wesley Thompson Jenkins born out of wedlock to Martha Jenkins from WV., Diana Thompson, Kenneth J, and Westina Thompson. I don't know their mother's name and all born after 1942. I believe in Pennsylvania. John Wesley died Apr. 1986 in Pittsburg, PA. Thanks to any and all help!!!!!!
