Anyhow, Royal Thompson was brother to Samuel Thompson who I am directly descended from. Samuel was born in Vermont in 1802. I have info that Royal and Samuel's parents names were Samuel Thompson and Clarissa Allen. Supposingly, Samuel Senior was also born in Vermont in 1765, moved to Quebec Canada in about 1806. He served in the war of 1812 on the British side. He was a loyalist during the Revolutionary War. His father was William Thompson from Massachusetts. I am trying to find info on Clarissa Allen who was supposed to of been born in Vermont also, around 1765 also. Do you have any info on this or any conflicting info? Samuel Thompson Jr. married Catherine Baskin (Basscion) and their daughter, LaVina, born in Montreal, married James Stuart, who had my grandmother, Clara Blanche Stuart, who married my grandfather, Irvin Holden and lived in Arnkansaw Wisconsin.
