[Tommies] Welcome Sharon Thompson from Alberta

[Quintin Thompson]

Greetings from your western neighbor (Niles, MI),
Betty Lou Morris
    The John Thompson of Mendon has always been a question mark gleaned  
from my pedigree chart studies.

     On Ancestry.com the Wilkins/Rhinehart by owner bethhallanger  
back tracks that line from Charles Blancher Thompson,>David Thompson  
(1771-1849)>Elisha (1745-1812)>David Thompson (1711-1757)>David  
Thompson (1687-1704)-[with this David born in Mendon, MA] but his  
father Jonathan 1645-1691 (wife Thankful Woodland) born and died in  
Woburn near Boston, MA.  If this is so, Jonathan would have to had  
traveled to Mendon in his life time.
     I have visited the library at Mendon and their records are small.
      With this pedigree chart there is no documention.    In the  
book "First Yankee" there is more documentation and a greater  
possibility that the Charles Blancher line came this way.
      In all genealogical studies we go from the known to the  
unknown.  We 'hang onto' the most plausible.  Quint Thompson
