Hello researchers, I am seeking any information about some of my ancestors who lived in the North Umberland, Richmond County areas of Virginia from the early 1600's to present. The surnames I'm researching are Thompson or Thomson or Tomson, Williams, Phillips, Breeden or Breeding, Tucker and quite a few others. Particularly, information that may tie the brothers Thompson(Thomson) Maurice, Paul, George of Berkley Hundred and the London Company to my 6th G.Grandfather George Thompson who married Rebecca Williams the niece of Roger Williams the Governor of Rhode Island in what is now Richmond County but at the time was (old) Rappahannock County then. Any information will be gladly accepted and appreciated. Thank you, Ron Thompson http://ChimeraArts.org monk@wavezcom.com
