John THOMPSON
Mary PIKE

NOTICE: A patrilineal descendant of our subject is participating in the THOMPSON Y-DNA Surname Project. Anyone who suspects he descends from our subject on a direct male line can support that connection with a DNA test.

Husband: John THOMPSON
Birth: 12 Apr 1769, Orange [now Alamance] Co., NC
Death: 28 May 1847, Orange [now Alamance] Co., NC

Secondary sources have mistakenly given our subject these parents:
Father: James⁵ THOMPSON (1743-1794) of New Castle Co., DE — James⁴, James³, John², Thomas¹ of Yorkshire, England
Mother: Martha CHAMBERS
The reasons this connection is a mistake are given in this message on the THOMPSON-DNA mailing list, but we can rest with just the fact that Thomas's descendants are Haplogroup R1b1 (see T-47). People in different haplogroups cannot have had a common ancestor for thousands of years.
