Listers: I am re-issuing my lineage interests. If you have not already been in contact with me, or if you have found new and additonal information, or if you can help flesh out any of these lines, especially those of my rellies noted below, who migrated to Ontario...I'd be most grateful for the assistance... Very best regards, Al --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I follow this lineage: THOMPSON LINEAGE 1.

BUT, inferences can be made from evidence of his presence in the colony c. 1630-1633. So, he and his family must have been part of that great migration. Jame's 5x-grandson, 197.vi Solomon Thompson, was the only Thompson of my lineage to both survive the revolution and to remove himself and his family out of the Brimfield, MA., area, first to Chautauqua, NYS, and then northward into what is now Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. My line, out of Solomon follows that of his son 197.6.6 Charles. Two sons, William and Nathaniel, returned to Clymer/French Creek, Chautauqua, NYS, while the remainder stayed in Ontario. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Descendants of Solomon Thompson (does this help anyone) 197.vi...SOLOMON6, b.
