Hi Cathy,
I believe you and I have already corresponded regarding John & Nancy.For anyone else reading this posting, please also see posting http://genforum.com/tompkins/messages/2079.htmlhttp://genforum.com/tompkins/messages/2079.html (or type keywords "Thompkins Meeks" in the search function).
John & Nancy are one of three related Tompkins/Thompkins who crossed the Oregon Trail that I've been researching/tracking the last five years or so.I have yet to determine the exact connection between John and the other "sibling" Tompkins I'm working on (I am trying to find the siblings' parents).John & Nancy's son Frank was born in Hardin Co, KY, as was one of the siblings in my group, and with all of them settling the same area of IL, I am reasonably certain they are related.If anyone has information on John & Nancy, or the siblings in the referenced posting, I would love to hear from you as well.
