Hi, I am getting quite frustrated with my Thompson's! I know they were at one time in Lee Co. VA, but can't seem to get any help from others researching the Thompson's! I have recently ran across a posting by a Larry Thompson on www.worldfamilies.net of his line and now his email is not active, here is his line: Elisha Thompson b c1747 Scotland? m Elizabeth James Thompson, b c1783 North Carolina, d 29 July 1868 lee co,Va. m Agnes Daniel Thompson, b1830, Lee Co, Va. m Emily Crabtree John Thompson, b 1851, Lee Co, Va. d 1949 Wise Co, Va M Maragret Hyden William Thompson b 24 June 1877, Lee Co, Va. d 4 Jan 1945, m Rebecca Stapleton? Maynard Thompson b 9 Mar 1900 Roda, Wise Co, Va. d Nov 1985 m Susie Reach Larry Thompson b 30 Nov 1942 Benedict,Lee Co, Va m Barbara Booher Also there was a Deborah Clarkson who was also researching this line and email is not any good either. It is bad enough having this Thompson brickwall, but now I am running into brickwalls with researchers etc!!! My Lewis/Louis Thompson was born in abt 1813 to 1821 possibly in VA, I found a Lewis Thompson listed in the 1835 tax list for Lee Co. VA, by 1838 my Lewis is listed District 6 of Claiborne Co. TN, I think this might be the portion of Claiborne Co. that became Hancock Co. TN. He is from then on in the census records for Hancock Co. He married Sarah(Sallie)Gilbert b. abt 1821 VA, daughter of Rev James Gilbert and Sarah Marshall. James Gilbert ended up in Hancock Co. about the same time as my Lewis. Children of Lewis/Louis Thompson & Sara Gilbert are: Wm. Harvey Thompson b. 1838 m. Manerva Howell Elizabeth Thompson b. 1839 Loudima Thompson b. 1841 James Thompson b. 1846 Mary Thompson b. 1848 Thomas Thompson b. 1853 Margaret Thompson b. 1856 m. James Fletcher Salina Thompson b. 1860 One of the children above married into the McMillan family, can't find the info right now but will post at a latter date. Other surnames connected are: RICE, WELCH, BROOKS, STEWART etc. I also emailed a person that had their message gateway to the list, as they had responded to a post of mine there. Am yet to hear anything. I am also interested in a Stephen Thompson and James Thompson who sold land to Jeremiah Breeding? This transaction took place abt 1801, Powell Valley, Lee Co. VA. Does ANYONE have any IDEA'S or SUGGESTIONS or maybe a CONNECTION??? Evie --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
