| | FIRST GENERATION |
 | | John was a soldier in the French and Indian War and served as an officer (an "Ensign") associated with regiments raised in 1748 in Cumberland County commanded by Colonel Benjamin Chambers with Lt. Col. |
 | | In December, 1809, when Susanna Thompson's estate is being settled between three of the sons (Alexander, William, and Hugh) it is clearly shown (Vol 1, Book T, p334 Cumberland County Deeds) that at one of John's pieces of land was at the intersection of Green Spring and "Nickey's Run" (this is most likely "Mickey's Run"). |
 | | The 1790 census of the area shows one John Thompson and it pretty much has to be this one, since (a) I can account for all the other Thompsons in that census (thus there isn't any unknown family Thompson) and (b) his father, also John, died in 1777 and wouldn't be in the 1790 census. |
