Info on JAMES THOMPSON Family of Rensselaer Co, NY
I'm looking for any information on James Thompson & his family.Here's what I know:
James Thompson
b. 1932 IRELAND
d. 1899 NY
Married -- perhaps twice.1) Lucy E. Larkin2) Isabella Curran (buried in Elmwood Cem., Schaghticoke, NY)
In 1870 US Census James & Isabella live in Manhattan, NY with their 7 children:
John, Mary Jane, Hannah, James, William, Isabella, & Eliza.
Both James & Isabella are born in Ireland, while all the kids are born in NY.James is a naturalized US citizen by 1870.His occupation is: Manufacturer of Cotton Goods.
By 1880 US Census James & "Isabel" Thompson have moved up to Pittstown, NY in Resselaer Co.Mary Jane Thompson is already married to Allen E Milks (& thus becomes my great grandmother).His occupation is now Manufacturer of Linen and Cotton Goods.I believe he owns a factory in Pittstown.
I know the daughters all married:
Mary Jane Thompson (b. 1857 d. 1917) married Allen E. Milks (she was called "Jeannie" by the family)
Isabella (B. 1864 D. 1933) married Thomas A. Doran (she was called by the family "Bell")
Eliza (b. 1865) married a Stover &
Hannah (b. 1858) married a Lohnes
I have a photo of the 4 sisters that I can email to any interested parties.
James Jr died in 1915 (b. 1861)
John died in 1879 (b. 1856) &
William died in 1900.All are buried in Elmwood Cem, Schagticoke, NY.I don't know if any of the sons were married.
I want to track the family back to Ireland & find out when James &/or Isabella came over.I would love to find what county of Ireland James is from & also talk to any descendents from the family.
