Hi all,

I am hoping to find more information on this family, or to contact some
present-day descendants. Specifically, I'd like to know where in
Roxburghshire they originated, and the names of Robert's parents.

I have a lot of information on this family available on my web site, if
you're interested (see URL below). The Canadian census showed a James
THOMPSON living next to my Robert C. THOMPSON, and I suspect they may
have been brothers.

============================================================
Robert C. THOMPSON, my ggg-grandfather
born 1796 Roxburghshire, Scotland
died 30 Apr 1881, Hamilton Twp., Northumberland Co., Ontario
burial Scotch Burying Ground, Hamilton Twp., Northumberland Co.,
Ontario
married Scotland or Canada?

Christian (sometimes Christianna or Christina) DOUGLASS, his wife, my
ggg-grandmother
born 1805 Roxburghshire, Scotland
died 9 Dec 1877 Hamilton Twp., Northumberland Co., Ontario
burial Scotch Burying Ground, Hamilton Twp., Northumberland Co.,
Ontario

They had eight children in Ontario (Upper Canada):
John b. abt 1834
Agnes b. abt 1836
Helen b. abt 1838
James E. (my gg-grandfather) b. 14 Jun 1839 d. 28 Dec 1906 MI, USA
(more information available)
Henry b. abt Oct 1840 d. 20 Sep 1865
Ann b. abt 1842
Euphemia b. abt 1845 d. 3 Oct 1847
Thomas A. b. abt Jun 1847 d. 5 Oct 1847

They moved to Ontario Canada sometime before 1834 when their first son
was born.

============================================================
James THOMPSON may be Robert C. THOMPSON's brother, or then again, maybe
not.
born abt 1793 Scotland
married presumably in Scotland

Agnes ?, his wife
born abt 1802 Scotland

They had eight children that I know of:
Robert b. abt 1825 Scotland
Agnes b. abt 1826 Scotland
Janet b. abt 1834 Ontario, Canada
Elizabeth b. abt 1834 Canada
James b. abt 1838 Ontario, Canada
Isabella b. abt 1842 Ontario, Canada
Mary b. abt 1841 Canada
Margaret b. abt 1847 Ontario, Canada

This family appears in the 1861 Canada census living next to my Robert
C. Thompson.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff
