Thompson &n Cecil families in Tennessee,1822 to 1870
Does anyone have in their Thompson family line any of the following names?:Richard (could be a middle name rather than a first name), Martha the wife (could have a nickname but do not know), Mary or Maree or Marce (unable to tell how it was spelled), Eliza Jane (maybe used Liza) and Minerva (or spelled Manerva).
They were from around Bradley,Meigs,McMinn,Roane,Rhea counties. In 1850 and 1860 I find a Richard with martha in Bradley Co,Tn. In 1870, I find Martha in Rhea Co. with the 3 girls but no Richard.
This family could be associated with George Anderson Thompson's family. Also, the Breeding family might be related.
One of Eliza Jane's daughters was named Minnie Belle and she married Ben Cecil and lived in around Cleveland, Tennessee all her life. If any of the Cecil family knows anything about Minnie's grandparents I would appreciate your help.
