Peter THOMPSON
Ms. __?__ |
Notice: We now have two patrilineal descendants of Peter, through his son, Thomas, Y-DNA tested. They are a match with each other, but not with anyone else, even remotely (their haplotype is rare). We now have 11 descendants of son, Thomas, FamilyFinder tested. They match each other to varying degrees, but this testing has not yet produced a THOMPSON breakthrough — and may not because the tested descendants are so many generations removed from Thomas. All we can do at this point is continue to wait and hope for a Y-DNA match. |

Evidence that Rachel and Thomas were siblings:
Thomas Thompson was a Disciples of Christ (Christian Church) clergyman of some note, who came to California from Missouri in 1849. In E.B. Ware's (1916) book on the History of the Disciples of Christ in California (see excerpt), Ware mentions that in 1850, Thomas baptized his nephew, "J.N.B. Wyatt," in a "miners' pit" near "Father Thompson's tavern," which was in Coloma, California. J.N.B. Wyatt is "James Nathaniel Burroughs Wyatt," son of William T. and Rachel (Thompson) Wyatt (he shows up as their son, James N.B., in the 1850 Census). William and Rachel both died in Spickard, Grundy Co., MO (where Thomas Thompson's wife, Delilah, died). J.N.B. Wyatt came to California and ultimately settled in Winters, Yolo Co., CA. In a biographical sketch of J.N.B. Wyatt in his (1913) History of Yolo County, California (see excerpt), Gregory describes J.N.B.'s trip across the plains to reach California and mentions, "The journey ended in the Sacramento valley September 15, 1850, and soon afterward at Coloma, Eldorado (sic) county, Mr. Wyatt met an uncle, Rev. Thomas Thompson, who was the first Christian preacher in that region." This meeting is consistent with the known whereabouts of Thomas Thompson in 1850 (i.e., Thomas arrived in Gold Run, Placer Co., in Sep 1849, moved to Coloma, El Dorado Co., in 1850, and moved to the Santa Clara Valley in 1851). Gregory also mentions that, "In religion he [J.N.B. Wyatt] was connected with the Christian Church." Note that Gregory's book was published three years before Ware's book, so one might suspect Ware had simply gleaned the story from Gregory. However, the E.B. Ware version of the story is more complete, including details not mentioned by Gregory. It may be that both authors used the same source (the same informant), but if the story came from two different sources, it lends credibility to the story. In 1829 in Todd Co., KY, Nathaniel Burrus pays 1828 and 1829 taxes as agent for Peter Thompson and for William Wyatt, who are adjacent on the tax list. In the 1870s, J.N.B. Wyatt was living in Maine Prairie, Solano Co., CA, as was George Washington Thompson, a son of Thomas Thompson. Also at that time, John A.C. Thompson, another son of Thomas Thompson, and his daughter, Mary Lucinda (Thompson) Marshall, and her family were living in Binghamton, about five miles NW of Maine Prairie. |
