    Notes:

    I am sure of our Thompson branch of the tree through William J Thompson... After him is all a guess...

    Family story states:

    7th Great Grandfather Thompson came from Scotland and settled in Maryland, his son 6th Great Grandfather Thompson was raised and lived in Maryland, 5th Great Grandfather Thompson moved to Virginia with his family (name was thought to be William, but research is pointing me towards Richard), His son, my 4th Great Grandfather was William J Thompson. William J died of cholera around 1832 and he left 3 orphaned children: William Laffayette (my 3rd Great Grandfather), Martha and John Thompson.

    After William J Thompson died, the children were brought to Palmyra, MO and raised by a cousin, Moses Howe. I have not been able to find Moses Howe yet in Missouri...

    FamilyTreeDNA does show Scottish descent, but my research and the family story don't seem to fully line up...
