[Tommies] Thomson

[gcfraser at peoplepc.com]

Gwendolyn,
Sir Thomas Steward died without "legitimate" issue.  That doesn't mean he died without issue.  The Thomson of Corstorphine line cites Sir Thomas Stewart and the genealogy was developed by one of England's great genealogists, Theodore Radford Thomson, .  It is published in Burke's. TR Thomson also wrote A Catalogue of British Family Histories. I would love to see TR Thomson's research notes but have yet to locate them.  I have found evidence that links the Forresters of Corstorphine with the Earl of Mar and his son Thomas.  But I have yet to find the "missing link."

  Genevieve:

              I am a descendant of this line through Mehitable Thomson, d. John.  I have been reading your articles on David Thomson that are on line.  The whole idea is fascinating, but from what I have                                     gathered,  Sir Thomas (Stewart) s.  Earl of Mars, died without issue.   I'm sure from what you have stated in your articles, that David Thomson was a gentleman and from Scotland. I just 
              can't see that he is in direct line from Robert I.    Aside from the fact that Sir Thomas died w/o issue, your theory is compelling.

              I tried to google Brian Smith to read  about his challenge to the Sinclair/New World theory .  I don't even know what that controversy is all about, as you didn't go into it in any of the articles that I read.
              
              I don't pretend to have the knowledge about all of this that you seem to have, and the names are totally foreign to me, as I have not read about, or researched, nobility/royalty in depth.
              The theory itself does draw one to it and I would like to know more.  Also, I would like to read your book.

              Sincerely,

              Gwendolyn Meade
