How are you tied in down from William Abraham Thompson? He was in another Co. of the 37th Va. Inf. that several of my family served in too. I'm a distant cousin, thru Wm. Abraham's grandparents John & Virginia Fletcher Thompson's son Rolen Thompson, and have shared info. back and forth with Robert Thompson. My family through my grandpa all grew up in Russell Co., now we've mostly all scattered. -Tres Thompson Plano, TX Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
