Thomson/Wheelock Family

Some of you have expressed interest in the Joseph Thomson Papers. I will send more excerpts. Meanwhile, here is my current best outline of the families mentioned in the letters. The letters are sent to Joseph Thomson (Amy # 219) by his brothers and, in later years, by nephews, with occasional added on notes from the women of the family. Recently Don posted the gravestones of Joseph Thomson (Amy #81) and his wife Lois who were the parents of these siblings.
