[email protected] John
Farley THOMPSON, wife Elizabeth, d Elbert Co , will dated 3 Sept 1793
with children: John, Isham, Peter, Sally, Mary, Tabitha, William,
Robert, Millie, Farley & Lewis Bevel. I especially need info on John, b
ca 1755-60, believed to be the eldest child. Brother, Isham , has been
identified and line accounted for but other children have not. So far
one document in Ga connects John to family - in the estate of Isham,
'John Thompson applied for letters of Administration 26 Mar 1796, caveat
by Elizabeth W Thompson, widow of Isham, 3 Apr 1796'. John & Isham
appear as witness in Mecklenburg Co Va deed for John Farley Thompson 11
June 1770, Isham on several others & John on 26 Jan 1771. This John
Thompson may be the same one who married in Mecklenburg Co Va to Sarah
Thompson sur: Asa Oliver, 8 May 1775. John & Sarah sell 50 ac in
Mecklenburg in 1784, the NW area of the county in Bluestone Creek area
while John Farley's land was ca SE in Allen Creek area. Believe that
John Farley Thompson and family were in Ga after Aug 1771 as that is the
last deed found for him in Mecklenburg Va

[email protected] Following
from Elbert Co Returns of Administrators & Guardinas, Will Bk K,
1813-16, page 315. "ISHAM THOMPSON, dec'd. Receipts of G. Walthall, Jr,
guardian if Isham Thompson, 18 June 1799; of Tryon Harris, gdn of Sally
Thompson, 29 Dec 1798 & 1802; of M. Woods, gdn of Wiley Thompson, 9 Aug
1799; of Wiley Thompson 14 Jan 1803; of Lewis Mosely, gdn of Patsy
Thompson, minor 1 Oct 1799; of John Alexander for his wife's part,
Tabitha, dau of said dec'd 10 Dec 1806; of Tryon Harris for his wife's
part, 26 Sept 1806; of Jency E Thompson, heir of said father, 19 Sept
1815. George Cook & Elizabeth Cook, Administrators. "
Since Tryon Harris took his wife's part & also named gdn of Sally
Thompson, it appears that Tryon must have been married to a Thompson
girl, but to my knowledge, he was married to an 'Elizabeth" or 'Betsy"
and much later to Sarah Alexander. Does anyone have any idea how Tryon
Harris was related to Isham or other Elbert Co Thompsons?
