Hi Some cousins and I are looking for an elusive Thompson ancestor, Mahala, b. "of Connecticut parentage" 1772, m. John VanBenschoten, resided Rhinebeck NY and NYC, d. 1834 in NYC on Rivington St. Any chance that she may be hiding among your Thompsons? We trace back to Schuylers as well, and have connections possibly w/Jays and Livingstons.... thank you~ Carole - "No protracted war can fail to endanger the freedom of a democratic country. ~Alexis de Tocqueville, statesman and historian (1805-1859) In a message dated 3/2/2008 2:46:31 P.M.
