Follows are records Tom Thompson found at the Montgomery Co., Va., courthouse. I can't reconcile the death of Nancy Thompson in 1863, d/o Andrew and Hariett Thompson, with the Andrew Thompson whose heirs were sued in 1858. In the suit there is a Nancy wife of John Surface, "late" Nancy Thompson. So the Nancy who died in 1863 wasn't even dead then. I would also very much like to get in touch with someone who may have information about the Joseph Thompson who died in 1855 in Kentucky. George Thompson, b. 1742, and Elisabeth Unknown, had a son, Joseph, b. 1778. It could be Joseph went to Kentucky with his uncle, Archibald Thompson, or other relatives, and died there. "1855 Chancery Court Case # 373. Andrew Thompson qualified as administrator of the estate of Joseph Thompson who died c. 1855 in Kentucky. Lists heirs of Joseph Thompson. Case filed March 1870. Case filed against Stephen Childress as Adm of Andrews estate. I think Stephen Childress was also involved with William Thompson's estate. Andrew may have been brother to Joseph. 1858 Chancery Court Case #225 March 1858. Suit brought by Charelton family against Andrew Thompson heirs. Heirs noted to be Samuel A. Stone, Ellen Thompson, John Francis and Sarah his wife, formerly Sarah Thompson, John ?Ssurface and Nancy his wife, late Nancy Thompson, Charles Thompson, Mary Thompson, John Thompson, Harriett E. Thompson the last four infants under 21 years of age and Hariett Thompson. Two names I cannot read. Note; No Joseph noted under heirs of Andrew. 1863 MontCo Death Register Nancy Thompson d/o Andrew and Hariett Thompson d. Nov 10, 1863, typhoid fever. Age 19."
