10a. The Will of Asa Thomson, online at Virginia Baldwin's Thomson Family web site. In his will, Asa's wife is referred to as "Dianna." Anyone related to these THOMSONs should visit Virginia's site; there is much more there than here at my web site. My interest is in THOMPSONs of Christian/Todd Co., KY, so my interest is focused on Asa's brother, John, and Asa's son, Roger, both of whom lived in Christian/Todd Co., KY.

In a post from Michael Nelson is a transcription of a manuscript written by Beverly Stercula (1966) entitled, The Thompson Families of Hanover, Louisa, Albemarle, Goochland, Amelia & Fluvanna Counties in Virginia. The subject is the descendants of Robert THOMPSON ( -1674) of New Kent Co., VA, of whom Asa THOMPSON is a descendant. In the pedigree, Asa's wife is referred to as "Susanna."
