Thanks Janet, That's all I needed to know. I've been trying for a LONG time to get some information regarding my Mary Wimer's parents. Thanks for sending it. George Thompson was the son of William & Aquilla (Breeden) Thompson of Culpeper/Orange Counties, Virginia. Who was the immigrant Henry Wimer's wife??? Do you know? Do you have the other children of immigrant Henry? I appreciate your sending the info. J.
