This is one of the biggest "brick walls" that I have left. I've often though it such a shame that he didn't have one of those nice rare and distinctive Biblical names.....something to set him apart. There were most probably quite a few John Thompsons in Virginia, back in those days, with roots reaching back to England, Ireland and Scotland. What can I do to try to find some more accurate details about this man's life? Jan Thompson Weber Fancypatch@aol.com

Hello All...Here's the reason list mail has been slow & not at all. Derrell Oakley Teat, List Mom Mail Lists: 2003-10-17 The mailing list server (LISTS2) that has been off-line for maintenance has now been turned back on, and e-mail is being processed. Mail will be processed from the queued mail concurrently with incoming mail. This will mean that not all mail will arrive chronologically until the backlog in the queue has been cleared. It will probably take the better part of the day to get mail from the queues to processing and then depending on the traffic to your ISP further time to get delivered. BIGPOND in Australia is having mail receipt problems and the e-mail delivery of LISTS2 has been slightly adversely affected. We will spool mail for Bigpond users until their servers recover. We did have difficulties with a small number of lists that has meant that these lists are not currently operational and will not be until we have manually checked and fixed any outstanding issues. A list is not currently available.

It's been scarce. How about a roll call? I'm searching for (all spellings!) Bell; Bennett; Brewer; Hatchell; Kethley; Reese; Thomason; Thompson; Waller; Whitfield; Winn.

Is it just me, or has there been no mail for about 10 days? Considering that there is usually at least three or more pieces a day - seems strange there has been NO mail. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

Am seeking information on Joel Earp born between 1760 and 1777 who married Susannah MONTGOMERY in 1823 Fairfax Co., VA. They had three daughters, Sarah Nancy; Malinda and Mary. Susannah's dates can't be right--I have her as born 1800 but her daughters were born 1789, 1790 and 1800; so neither is the wedding date. Does anyone know anything about this couple? I'm trying to find Susannah's parents as well. Most of the births and such were in Fairfax Co., Va. They moved to Indiana by 1833. Sarah Nancy married Jacob Coffman April 26, 1810 in Kentucky.
