General Notes: Husband - Peter Thomson


He inherited with his brother Thomas the homestead of their father, and February 28, 1807, purchased eighty-four acres additional. Peter and Thomas worked the farm together, prospered, and enlarged its borders, and when Thomas died without heirs, Peter inherited his interest.

He and his wife were members of the "Seceder Congregation" which subsequently became the United Presbyterian Church at Mexico, Pennsylvania. The portion of the congregation in their neighborhood met at the Peter Thompson homestead with "Aunt Polly" as leader and instructor in the Bible and the Catechism both before and after the death of Peter Thompson.
