Hello: There is an elusive Thompson family in the Lunenburg and Mecklenburg counties of VA in the area of the Meherrin River and Bluestone Creek, They are Herman/Harmon, Wells and John Thompson. I am in hopes that someone else is working on them. Lunenburg Co. Deed Book 9: 10 Nov 1762 Robert & Mary Bailey of Brunswick Co. VA, sold to Wells Thompson of Amelia Co. VA, 650 acres on the should side of the Meherrin River. Mecklenburg Co. Marriages 1765 - 1810 17 Sept 1765: William Davis of Brunswick Co. and Martha Thompson Sec: Wells Thompson. I have traced this family and found that Martha had but one son by her husband William Davis. John Davis, of Brunswick Co. whose will is dated 17 Apr 1798. No Wife is named. The will gives John's children as: James Batte Davis and Martha Davis, The will names his mother Martha Floyd. Brother's Wells and William Floyd and sisters as Amy and Elizabeth (no last names). It would seem that Wells Thompson who was the security on Martha's bond was likely her brother. Mecklenburg Wills 1765-1799 Wells Thompson died leaving a will dated 23 Jan 1768 : wife Amy, whole of estate: Children mentioned but not named. Mecklenburg Deed Book 6 1779- 1786 11 November 1783: Amy Thompson notify the court about her husbands wishes for the distribution of this property to their children. Again children not named. This petition occurs 14 years and 11 months after the death of Wells Thompson. At that time she state her children are 'grownup and capable of acting for themselves'. This leads me to believe that the children were very young when their father died. There is an Amey B. Thompson living on the east and west side of Mizes Road: 16E listed in the 1815 Virginia Landowners Directory. It is possible that the Herman/Harmon Thompson who is found in Mecklenburg on the Branches of Bluestone Creek, and associated to "The Thompson House" located about 1/4 mile east of the Finneywood Depot, may be one of the children. Also the John and Sarah (Thompson) Thompson whose 50 acres were bounded by Thomas Chamberland, John Robertson and the Lottery Land, thence to Sheffield's Branch and the fork of Finneywood Road, may also be of this family. The 1815 VA Landowners Directory: Herman Thompson, estate: Bluestone; 17W. I would be most happy to share any information I have gathered on Wells, John and Herman/Harmon Thompson.
