Several years ago I corresponded with Earline Thompson Lanchaster and have a book she did on her Thompson family. Levi Thompson buried in the Thompson cemetery near Minor Hill was the son of Samuel Jack Thompson and Harriett Ferrell Earline said she had no proof but thought Samuel Jack Thompson's parents were William M. Thompson and Margaret Jack. Levi's father died between 1842-1843 and his Mother remarried John Scott, who lived across the road. In 1850 Lauderdale Co., AL Levi is living with his Mother and shows born in Alabama. When he grew up he came to Giles County where his Mother's people were [Ferrell] Levi married Elizabeth Norwood, if you are from this line I have Norwood material.
