Thanks, Gen, for your response about the proof that John, son of David Thompson,
was the same person as John Thompson of Mendon. I wonder if any of the
Tommies has in his/her records the citations for the date, place and source for
(1) the birth of John, son of David and (2) John of Mendon? Does
anyone have a citation for the late 18th/early 19th
century hand-written book from Mendon at the Rhode Island
Historical Society that lists David as the father of John? I looked at the
RIHS online catalogue and did not find it there. Does anyone on the
Tommies list have access to that library?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I don't have the facts at my fingertips, but John of
Mendon was the same age as John, David's son. There are other reasons
too including a late 18th century/early 19th century handwritten book in the

John.</FONT></DIV>

Let me add my greetings of welcome to you, Sharon. We Tommies are a
pretty scattered and diverse group, but we all claim David Thompson
as an ancestor. My particular hang up is the question of proof that
John Thompson of Mendon, MA, from whom we all descend, is the same man as
John Thompson, son of David. If you have any information to help
with this, please let us know.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

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.

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
