Biography

Flag of Denmark
Jørgen Thomsen migrated from Denmark to the United States.

Jurgen Christjan Thomsen was born in August 1834 in Hjorring, Denmark.[1][2]

He married Martine Nielsen on October 21,1860, in Hjorring, Denmark.[3] They had one surviving son, Thomas, born in 1861.

According to the 1870 census, he was a boot and shoe maker.

The family emigrated from Denmark to the US in 1868[4], where they changed the spelling of their name to 'Thompson'. They settled on a farm in Montgomery County, Kansas, not far from Coffeyville.

He died a few years later, in 1871, in Kansas at the young age of 37, likely from polycystic kidney disease, which plagued many of his descendants.[5]
