One more important message
I regret to have to place a restriction on my web pages to prohibit "copy and paste". I recently had someone do that without giving credit to me or my web pages. Word for Word. This person took credit for the material. You may print any of my web pages, but no more "copy and paste". Sorry, that individuals like this make it tough for all of us.
My own Thompson line eventually settled on or near the mountain just west of the Guyandotte across from the bottoms of what is now McConnell, West Virginia, just south of the County Seat of Logan.There is a creek branch there emptying into the Guyandotte called Thompson Branch. Good indication of this mountain being the one settled by my Thompson line. My grandfather, Dow Thompson also owned property on the McConnell bottoms as well as the family cemetery being located on one of the hill tops at McConnell.
Some dates have not been included on many of the names below due to the
fact that I am not at all sure of their accuracy.
The dates I HAVE included for the most part are reasonably correct.
As I confirm dates, I will add them.

Thompson/Patton Connection
In the Montgomery/Fincastle/Botetourt County area of Virginia in
the earliest frontier days, in 1767,
a Col. James Patton was killed by indians in the Draper Meadows
Massacre.
(Please watch for further stories on this interesting and adventuresome
man!)
His daughter Mary, married a William Thompson Jr. of whom Col. Patton must have thought highly, for he Willed his Springfield Plantation on Back Creek, in what is now Northern Pulaski Co., Virginia (Cloyds Mt), to William as well as naming him co-executor of his Estate.
The history of this family becomes less than clear to me at this point, but I am secure in the knowledge, that its history is attainable with research. I have found bits and pieces in several local history books, but until I get a clearer picture, I will defer my comments.
But it is known, that there was some dispute among William Thompson's children in regard to his Estate at his death. (Again, more on this event later when my facts are more clear) After court trials and much testimony as to the intentions and demeanor of the elder William, the lands were sold, mostly to a Mr Cloyd, and the family scattered into the still wild, indian inhabited, but advancing, frontier during the years around the turn of the century, ca 1800.
Some of these children and their families went into the Nashville (Fort Nash), Tennessee area, others into the Kentucky wilderness, and still others migrated down (north) the New River and over the Flattop Mountain/Bluestone region, and into what is now Wyoming and Logan Counties of West Virginia.
According to Henry Clay Ragland in his "History of Logan County" ca 1900, the Thomas Patton Thompson (m. Judith Farley) family settled sometime after the 1805 birth of their son.
As mentioned above some Patton Thompson's descendats settled in the McConnell area that is just a few miles up the river (south) from the now, Logan Court House, County Seat of what is now, Logan Co., West Virginia.
On the current "Tiger Map" of Logan County, one can find a 'Thompsons Branch' in the north hollow of the mountain at those bottoms. This mountain is on the west side of the Guyandotte River directly across from where McConnell is now located.
Many of the Thompson family of the mid & late 1800s, continuing even to date, are buried at the top of another hill facing that mountain, but on the east side of the Guyandotte. This cemetery is now known as the "Hinchman Cemetery" It holds many other early settlers' children and grandchildren as well. This should not be confused with the large Municipal Cememtery just south of it on the other side of this same hill. At one time, before a road was cut up and around this mountain the only way to get to the Hinchman Cemetery was to park in the Municipal Cemetery and walk over the ridge and down to the cemetery. Now it's possible to drive nearly up to it.
