Mike, Here is a tidbit I obtained which states Martha Thompson was the daughter of Richard Thompson. I don't know where I got this. Shirley 2. WILLIAM2 FERRELL, SR. (JOHN1)2 was born 1740, and died July 15, 1778. He married MARTHA THOMPSON2, daughter of RICHARD THOMPSON.

The Russell Co. Thompson's were not children of John & Mary Thompson of Halifax Co., NC. As Robert mentioned in his message, there were nine Thompson siblings, namely, William, Richard, John, Susannah who married William Johnson, Margaret who married first William Roman and second Russell Duty, Martha who married first William Ferrell and second William Evans, Elizabeth who married William Elam, Sarah "Sally" who married John Elam, and Rachel who married James Emmett. All of these siblings are documented in the court papers at Wythe Co., VA in regards to the civil suit over Richard's estate. I have been to the courthouse and obtained copies of these records. Also, William was not the youngest of the three brothers. John, born abt 1761 most certainly was younger than William who was born abt. 1752. > > As for the identity of the parents of the Russell Co.

Fincastle had just been formed from Botetourt Co. and in 1769 Botetourt had been formed from Augusta Co., VA. So a search of Botetourt & Augusta Co. records is appropriate prior to 1771. In the Augusta records is a court record from 1759 where William Ferrell (husband of Martha Thompson), orphan of John Ferrell, was bound out to John Archer. John Archer owned land on Long Glade Creek in Augusta Co. There was a John Thompson who also owned land on a branch of Long Glade Creek in 1759. A court case from 1769 indicates that John's wifes name was Susannah and that he had a son named Billy. Also in 1769 John & Susannah Thompson sold two tracts of land on Glade Creek to Isreal Christian. This last bit of information is important because Isreal Christian also moved to the Thompson Creek area of what would become Russell Co. and was a close neighbor of the Thompson! > family on Thompson Creek.
