Forgive the intrusion. I'm simply fascinated that here is someone over yonder in Texas who has Louisa ties, so I couldn't resist the temptation to ask: "So what parta Texas y'all from?" I'm not always a clown. . . just comes early in the afternoon. My wife and I are natives of Fort Worth, and my Thomson ancestors were once big news in Louisa County (early 18th-century on). Thus my two-fold reason for intruding. William Thomson Pasadena CA ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Hi William: My 5-great grand mother was Susannah Thomson (1728-1833)of Louisa Co., VA. She married Moses Clack circa 1763 in Louisa Co. She died in Barren Co. , KY. Moses was a 4-year Revolutionary War vet. Susannah was the daughter of Thomas Thomson (1718-1774)and Hannah McAllister. Thomas was descendant of Samuel Thomson/Helen Glass; Samuel Thomson; William Thomson; Samuel Thomson, b. 1613, Avondale Scotland. Interested?

Is anybody on the list researching the R. G. & Ella Thomasson family? I have no information on them, but I am concerned that developers are moving a cemetery that is on property once owned by them. R. G. Thomasson bought the land November 23, 1877. The cemetery is reserved in a deed dated 30 Sept. 1916, but the land has been sold to a developer for a subdivision and there is a legal ad in the Central Virginian that any interested parties need to respond before June 16th. Witnesses to the deed were Ivy L. Thomasson, Ruby V. Parrish, Ethel T. Hardenburgh, M. R. Hardenburgh, and Hallie G. Thomasson. I hope to find the cemetery before that date and, at least, document and photograph it before they "relocate" all the tombstones (if there are any). I had the same thing to happen to one of my family cemeteries in Williamsburg and their idea of "relocating it to a more suitable repository" was dumping everything, "substantial evidence of an ancient cemetery" in a hole at the edge of the property. It took me years for find out where they had relocated my cemetery to. I hate to see this happen to somebody else. If you need more information, please contact me.

Don't you love progress. This happened to a family cemetery down the road from me last year. Our Township Historical Society (Beavercreek, Ohio) and the parks board worked out a deal with the developer to have all the stones , fence and what ever was underground moved into another pioneer cemetery that wasn't too far. The Historical Society and I searched around using the web to find relatives for about a year while all the paper work was being processed. I had been on the cemetery board. The developer insisted it had to be moved because the remains were on the best lot overlooking the valley. On the other hand ,when we lived in Fairfax , Virginia ,Lord and Lady Fairfax were still buried in someone's back yard in our development off Braddock Road and the developer had laid out the plans to not disturb the remains. Better plan. I'll help you search for someone but it probably won't help if the county gives them the go ahead.
