Nancy,
I am new to Genforum, but have found information about our ancestor, Lucinda Graydon Thompson.She was the mother of Richard Harrison Thompson (b. ABT 1846 in SC and died 18 Dec,1918). Tandy Walker Thompson was the brother of Richard Harrison Thompson.
Richard Harrison Thompson married Mary Emmons Bolt.Those two were my great-grandparents.One of their sons was James Luther Thompson, my grandfather; his son James Luther Thompson, Jr., my father.My father died May 31, 1973 in Clemson, SC where he had lived since the early 1940's.His father was born in Newry.
I don't know anything about the profession of Richard Harrison Thompson.One of my elderly aunts once told me that he had sold musical instruments, moved around to different communities to teach how to use them.I have no evidence of this, just family rumor.Most of the Thompson's that I know are musical, however.
