Major Thompson b. abt 1832, Russell Co., VA
I am looking for information on a Major Thompson born about 1832 in Russell County, Virginia. I have found his marriage record to Bridget Kelly and according to this he's the son of John and Jane Thompson. This is listed as his first marriage, although he's 35yrs old. I am wondering if anyone has any other information about him before this marriage. I'm wondering about him because the identity of my great-great-great-grandfather's father is unknown. My ggggrandfather was Major Rodney O'Quinn (his mother's surname) but his father was supposedly a Thompson and the name Major appears nowhere in the O'Quinn line. Also, his family lived in Russell and Buchanan counties and his mother, Martha O'Quinn, was born in 1833. I think you can see why I'm curious about Major Thompson, so I hope someone can give me any other information about him, even if it's just family stories.
