Biography
Inferred children (per census): Charity Thompson (Hamby) and James Thompson. Children claimed by alleged descendants: Nathan Thompson, Mary Thompson (Reynolds), Sarah Thompson (Jones).
The theory that John Thompson who married Elizabeth Spencer is the father of William Thompson who married Elizabeth Lucinda Jones in 1839 in adjacent Caldwell County, Kentucky, is currently based on the following:
- Multiple autosomal DNA matches between descendants at Ancestry, but no triangulation yet.
- Proximity of Caldwell and Christian Counties.
- Census numbers/ages fit (however, William can fit other Thompson households in the area)
- Sarah, alleged daughter of John, married into the same Jones family that William did
- Mary, alleged daughter of John, married into the same Reynolds family that William's wife's child by her second marriage did.
