RE: LAWRENCE BOOK REF FOR ANDREW THOMSPON AS S/0 ELSWICK AND
PATTY AKERS

Cary Lynne Hall checked her database sources for Andrew Thompson
and Harrietta Simpkins and writes the primary reference for the
Simpkins (Cary is a
Simpkins-Thompson descendant) line is Ora Belle McColman's
"Descendants of
Elder John Lawrence." However, McColman's book is not the
source for
the parents of Andrew Thompson: The source that shows Andrew as
s/o Elswick Thompson and Patty Akers is from an unpublished
Akers-Blackburn paper made available to Clan Thompson researchers
last year.

To be resolved is the identity of the Andrew Thompsons/Harriett
Simpkins
in Montgomery Co., Va., records. It looks like one Andrew was
dead by 1858, but yet an Andrew signed the death records for his
teen-age daughters who died in 1864-1865.

1858
Chancery Court Case #225 March 1858. Suit brought by
Charelton family against Andrew Thompson heirs. Heirs noted to
be Samuel A. Stone, Ellen Thompson, John Francis and Sarah his
wife, formerly Sarah
Thompson, John ?Ssurface and Nancy his wife, late Nancy Thompson,
Charles Thompson, Mary Thompson, John Thompson, Harriett E.
Thompson the last four infants under 21 years of age and
Hariett Thompson. Two names I cannot read.
Note; No Joseph noted under heirs of Andrew.

father.
MontCo Death Register Nancy Thompson d/o Andrew and Hariett
Thompson d. Nov 10, 1863, typhoid fever. Age 19.

Case filed 1870
Chancery Court Case # 373. Andrew Thompson qualified as
administrator of the estate of Joseph Thompson who died c. 1855
in Kentucky. Lists heirs of Joseph Thompson. Case filed March
1870. Case filed against Stephen Childress as Adm of Andrews
estate. I think Stephen Childress was also involved with
William Thompson's estate. Andrew may have been brother to
Joseph.
