Hi Everyone, I am new here. I recently discovered that my great great grand father was from Virginia. His name was Frank Thompson. He was born in 1850. He left Virginia. He was African American. He ended up in Louisiana by 1870. His wife Cecelia Toliver was also from Virginia, I was wondering does anyone has any information on the Thompsons of Virginia. If so were any of them part of the Saponi. Thank You and may God Bless
Welcome to the Forum, AC,
Do you suspect they were of Indian descent or is there a family story of Indians?
Bill
Hi, I was always told that my mother’s family had Indian in them. My great grand father name was Frank Thompson he was born in Louisiana. His father Frank Thompson was born in Virginia. Frank Thompson my great grand father had Native American features that was what Iwas told.
Thank You and God Bless:)
AC,
Sorry for the delayed response.
Would you post on the forum or email to me, all the known data you have on them?
Bill
I have Thompsons in my family from up there. My earliest thompson was celia thompson. She had 10 children and was born in the late 1700. The 1850 census has her as mulatto in warren county living with the allen fam who were black. she was not on the 1870 or 1890 census. I have no clue who her husband was
She lived with a number of people including other thompsons. an uncle told me that a few blackfoot families still lived in that area and that’s who she may have been staying. She was blackfoot from what they told me
She moved from warren down louisa and albemarle counties where she died.
Hi Tonio,Bill,and others,
Iam resending my message again. I was having a computer problem.
Iapologize for not responding to the forum sooner.
Since my last posts i have found some new information about my Thompson line.
As stated in my previous posts, My great grand father name was FranKThompson; he was born inLouisiana. His father name was Frank Thompson and he was born inVirginia.This Frank Thompson had a wife name Cecelia Tolliver.She was also from Virginia. Frank Thompson had 2 brothers, HenryThompson and Gabriel Thompson.They were all born in Virginia. Their Father name was Richard Thompson/Thomson.Accordingto the 1870 US census record Richard Thompson/Thomson was living in Albermarle County during this period. This was an interesting bit of information since i know Thomas Jefferson’s infamous “Monticello”residence was in Albermarle County.I also assumed all of the family were from Albermarle county Virginia. Richard wife name was Eliza.Her maiden name is unknown to me.They had at least 6 or more children onthe 1870 US census. As far as Native American ancestry,Ihavenot found any more evidence of it.All i know is from what my family has told me;however, Iam not going to let that hinder me from continuing with my research on the Black foot indians and indians of virginia.
Peace and Blessings,
ac johns
Are you serious????? Celia Thompson lived with a Thompson who was from Albemarle county. They were living there in White Hall, Albemarle, Virginia in 1880 or 1870 if I’m not mistaken. Hmm.. I have some records I want to share with you, but I’m at the public library. I will send the information of my thompsons from the Charlottesville vicinity.
