General Notes: Husband - John Thomson
The Thompsons of this line descend from John Thompson, who with his brother James came from the north of Ireland, 1730-1735, and located first in 1735 at New London Cross Roads, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Later they moved to Hanover township, Lancaster County, where John Thompson married his second wife. From Hanover he moved to the Juniata valley, settling at a point three miles distant from the location of the later borough of Thompsontown. James, his brother, settled in the Cumberland valley.
He came up the Juniata with his family in 1768 or 1769 and purchased a tract of two hundred acres (previously warranted) near Thompsontown. He is not mentioned on the tax lists of Fermanagh township until 1768, when he is assessed on two hundred acres, and Robert, his oldest son, on two hundred acres adjoining and below at Lockport. John Thompson died about 1779, as his name then disappears from the tax rolls. He was buried in the old Thompson graveyard, where a simple stone with the letters "J. T.," without date, marked his resting place.
He was born in the north of Ireland. Emigrating to America he settled at the Furnace, in Delaware township, Juniata County, Pennsylvania, where he engaged in farming, fishing and hunting. He owned a farm of more than two hundred acres, the greater part of which he cleared, erecting on the place a commodious log house and making other improvements.
He was born in Scotland from whence he migrated to Ireland, county Antrim, about 1735. Subsequently he emigrated to America, came up the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers, and landed at the mouth of the run three miles east of Thompsontown.
