Robert Thompson was born in Ireland in June 1819 to James and Unknown (?) Thompson. His father died in 1834. It is possible that Robert came to Canada in the 1830's. He married Margaret Ferguson in 1846. They had 13 children, and outlived 8 of them. Margaret Ferguson was in Ontario, Canada in December 1828 to John and Ellen (?) Ferguson. Her father was born in Scotland, her mother in Ireland. She married Robert Thompson in 1846. In 1882, the Robert Thompson family emigrated from Canada to Cass County, ND. I know that 5 of their children were: Ellen (1850), Margaret (1856) William (1858), Thomas (1861), and George (1867). Robert died in 1911 in Mapleton, ND aged 92. Margaret died in 1910 in Mapleton, ND, aged 82. That is all I have. -Jack Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
