Descendants of John Thompson

John Thompson, son of John Thompson and Mary Wilson, came to Pennsylvania's Cumberland Valley sometime around 1740 as did his two brothers, William and Thomas (Thomas was the gg-grandfather of Josiah Van Kirk Thompson, author of the prolific " JV Thompson Journals "in which a number of PA ancestries have been recorded). John settled on the Green Spring, about three miles west of Newville, and was a member of Big Spring Presbyterian Church. Friends and neighbors included the Bleans and Scroggs, all of whom intermarried for some time. Descendants left briefly in the 1830s for western Illinois, but returned in a few years to the Newville area. They left for good in 1876 when they homesteaded land in Nebraska.
