I have a family of Thompsons in Prince Edward County from Rice. They came there in the late 1800's-early 1900's. I am trying to find more information on this family as they descend from Powhaten and William Thompson who arrived there from Pittsylvania Co, VA. Powhaten had 6 childre: Wyatt Whitehead, Edward Lee, Eugene Richard, D Floyd, Mary Q (Grace) and Minnie Ree. William had 6 children also: Nellie, Millie, John W, James O, Thomas and Benjamin. Wonder if you know any of these as have no info on them. Thanks, Nancy in MD
