Bonnie, there is little on Thompson in Dr. Woods book, " Floyd County, A History of it's People and Places." Nothing which would explain who James Thompson's or Sallie Renfro's parents were. I do not see either mentioned in the index. Page 15 mentions Sally Barnard d/o Isham married James Thompson, no date. On same Page it states Elizabeth Thompson, d/o Nathaniel Thompson of Carroll County, married James Barnard On page 347, a short paragraph about Rev. Nathaniel Thompson; "Elder Nathaniel Thompson served his day and generation in the fervency and zeal which characterizes one as a true servant of God." I do not know if any Thompson researchers have discovered who the parents were, or where they came from and many have been researching long before I started. The marker in the cemetery states. "Born North or South Carolina." I do not remember seeing your request on the Floyd list, though we have "talked" previously. I am sure no one would intentionally ignore you.

The book, "Floyd-Its people and Places" can be purchased at the Wilderness Road musuem in Newbern, Va. Its been a while since I purchased it so I don't remember the price. Either the Wilderness Road Museum or the New River historical society has a list of the books they carry on the website. The Pulaski, Va site has links to those.
