Question

Hi,

I am Phil Ostrander, Jr.  I am researching Samuel Thompson (Sr.), born either 1733 or 1735 and died either 1787 or 1793.  I am getting him confused with Captain Samuel Thomson, who was born or died at about the same time.  Both had sons named Samuel.  The former was married to Elizabeth Mary Andrews and the latter was married to Azubah Stevens Taft.  I do have more information on both.  Please assist me.

Thank you!

Welcome Philip!

Hi Philip!  Welcome to WikiTree! 

I see that the Samuel Thompson who was married to Azubah has a profile here with a lot of documentation:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Thompson-21544

You might want to correspond directly with the manager of that profile, Ellen Smith, who is a very experienced researcher, so you can share notes with each other and sort out your Samuels! 

Cheers

Welcome back, Philip,

Before you get any further, you should edit your profile and change your last name to Ostrander and put jr. in the suffix field. That way your profile will be indexed correctly.

Good luck with your research.
