proof that John Thompson of Mendon, MA, from whom we all descend, is the same

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Hi Sharon, thanks for joining
us. I believe I know your Uncle Frank, if it's the same Frank Thompson --
met him on this list. You and I (and others on the list including Frank)
share an ancestor: C. B. Thompson, my great grandfather. I'm eleventh
generation wrt David Thomson, see my line here:<br>
<a href="http://www.wellswooster.com/tommies/alyce.htm">http://www.wellswooster.com/tommies/alyce.htm</a><br>
<br>
Do we have the same line in common? At least up to Charles? Welcome
to the Tommies list and I look forward to seeing further posts from you.<br>

On Monday, 11/17/08,I received the Fall 2008 newsletter from Thompson Island
Outward Bound. On the back page (attached to this message), I found that
Sharon Thompson of Alberta, Canada had visited Thompson Island and wanted to
reach out to other descendants of David Thompson. I contacted her by
email, gave her a synopsis of our 2001 (Re)union, and pointed her to the
Tommies website. She has joined our email list. <br>
<br>
Please join me in welcoming Sharon to our group. <br>
