About Napoleon Bonaparte Thompson

Liberty Bell, signifying a person in an accepted NSSAR or NSDAR lineage.

The Liberty Bell displayed here simply acts as a means to easily identify a patriot recognized by the NSDAR or NSSAR who was a participant in the fight for American Independence or a person of direct, recognized lineal descent from a patriot appearing in one or more accepted applications to NSDAR or NSSAR. The image is a "marker" visible in certain tree views and serves no other purpose or meaning.

*Guardianship: June 12, 1837, Grant County, Kentucky

Samuel Barnes appointed guardian to Elizabeth

Barnes infant heir of Oliver Barnes decd. who

thereupon executed & acknowledged bond in open court in the

penalty of $60 with Jefferson Moore his security &

took the oath as the law directs.

The above was transcribed by David James Schimka, 23 March 2012 from a microfilm copy of the originals. I took the liberty of correcting a few misspellings but left the rest, word for word, line for line. I have attached a copy of the original document image. Above all else, this document connects the descendants of Elizabeth Barnes to her ancestors. Perhaps there are additional documents where her parents died in Illinois but I have not seen any yet.

*Notes on Cemetery

Thompson and Skinner Cemetery

This cemetery is located in Grant County, about 2 miles on the left side of Denny Road when traveling from KY 36.

Note: I have not located this cemetery personally. I found the location in Volume III of Virgil Chandler Sr.'s book, Grant County Cemeteries. In addition to the directions in the book, I studied satellite imagery to come up with coordinates of what I "BELIEVE" is the cemetery.

**Notes on child, "Ollie Dance"

[Schimka.ged]

Ollie first appears on the 1870 Census of Scott County, KY as a threemonth old baby. On the 1880 Census in the same locality, Ollie's relation to the head of household is "bastard." It is uncertain as yet whether this is a child of Napoleon's, one of his children, or even a foster child.

About Jeremiah Chandler, the minister over the Thomas Thompson and Frances Robinson wedding.

He was born in Caroline County, VA in 1749. He later moved to Orange County, VA and was the minster for the North Pamunkey Church and simultaneously was minister for the Piney Branch Church in Spotsylvania County, VA. Jeremiah Chandler was the minister of both churches for about forty years.

Other researchers specify a date of death in 1859 however, I have found Thomas T Thompson or T. T. Thompson on the 1850 and on the 1860 Census records in Cordova, Grant County, Kentucky where he is listed at age 72 which fits with the birth date found in other records and oral histories.

According to the NSDAR Record Copy application for Member Number M732521 (Roberta Denise Foster Korzenborn) pertaining to Ancestor Number A097441 (Francis Robinson), a Will exists for Thomas T. Thompson in the Grant County, Kentucky, Will Book F, pages 257-260.

There does not seem to be any reference to microfilmed copies of Will Book F so a copy of the Will may only be obtainable from the Grant County courthouse.

Other records related to the Will or Probate are to be found in other books that have been microfilmed as referenced and included with Thomas T. Thompson's record here.

About John Thompson, Sr.

*Death: (some sources say 1811)

From: FindAGrave

From court testimony John Thompson, Sr's birth year was determined to be 1740 but where he was born is unknown. It is thought that he may have come to Augusta County, Virginia with Scots-Irish immigrants from Pennsylvania but no proof confirms this. Records show that a John Thompson was a land owner in Augusta County and that people migrated to Monroe County from there. It is known that John Thompson, Sr. was a major landowner and considered one of the wealthiest men in Monroe County. John, Sr. died in June 1823 which is confirmed by Court case records of a dispute regarding his estate. The court case also identifies his heirs and his last residence which was on Rich Creek on land that was just west of Peterstown, WV. A revealing statement made in a court deposition on 6 Jul 1844 by his son, John Thompson, Jr. says, "He made his home principally with Samuel.... Father was stout as old men generally are at this age and he died in his 84th year." Samuel was another son. Estate court records do not mention John, Sr's wife or widow so she must have died before 1823. John Thompson was buried in the Dunn Cemetery in Monroe Co., WV even though no gravestone can be identified as his. A book entitled, "Cemeteries of Monroe County West Virginia" states in the index that John Thompson was buried in the Dunn Cemetery. This would seem plausible since Dunn Cemetery is the closest cemetery to where John Thompson lived in Rich Creek Valley. Furthermore, a grandson of John Thompson, Sr. was named William T Dunn, the son of John and Isabella (Thompson) Dunn. John Dunn, Isabella Dunn and William T Dunn were "purchasers" of John Thompson, Sr.'s estate holdings. Grandson William Dunn was mentioned in the court case involving John Thompson Sr's will as possibly the last person to handle the will before his grandfather's death. The Will was lost after his death but testimony by those who were familiar with the will's contents helped construct John's last wishes. Notes by Jon R Thompson, sighants@hotmail.com

Biography

He was born about 1670.

George Thompson married about 1703 in North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Virginia to Rebecca Williams.

He passed away about 1740.

Research Notes

His first cousin was George Thompson, Jr. (1705-1755) who married Catherine Phillips (daughter of Susan Williams 1726 and William Phillips 1725, res: North Farnham Parish, Virginia). This looked into more (per Mary G.)

About 1739 they moved to Orange County, Virginia which was Culpeper County by the time George Jr. wrote his Will in 1755. The Will was proved in 1764. The area was in Madison County in 1809 when a court case came up involving settlement of an estate which listed all the heirs at that time.

Thompson History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

Clan Thompson Red Tartan

Clan Thompson Blue Tartan

The roots of the distinguished surname Thompson can be found in Scotland. The name is derived from the popular given name Thomas, an Aramaic name meaning "twin," and refers to "a son of Thomas or Thom." The spelling of the name with a "p" distinguishes the family from the Thomsons, who were a Scottish Clan originally known as MacThomais.

Early Origins of the Thompson family

The surname Thompson was first found in Cumberland, where the Thompson family held a family seat from ancient times. However, some of the family were found at Shotton in Durham. "The family of Thompson held property here, chiefly by copy of court-roll, at least as early as the reign of Elizabeth; and from them the estate came by marriage, in the middle of the last century, to the Brandlings."

Thompson Spelling Variations

Spelling variations of this family name include: Tompson, Thompson and others.

Thompson is a surname of Scottish origin, with a variety of spellings, meaning "son of roman". An alternative origin may be geographical, arising from the placename Thompson. During the Plantation period, settlers carried the name to Ireland. There has been a third alternative claim made that Thom(p)son originated as the English translation of MacTavish, which is the Anglicised version of the Gaelic name of MacTamhais
