Sarah married James Fleming Thompson 1 son of Amos Thompson and Mary Bruce on 19 Mar 1835 in , Virginia, USA. James was born on 23 Nov 1808 in , Wythe, Virginia, USA. He died on 14 Apr 1895 in Wytheville, Wythe, Virginia, USA. He was buried in Fairview Cmtry., Wythe, Virginia, USA.
FAMILY CONNECTION: Family tradition has long maintained that James F.
Thompson, father of David Fleming Thompson, and James Thompson, son of Amos and
Mary Thompson are the same. Doris Thompson Harris was told (or concluded) they
were the same after discussion she had with a Bruce in 1976. After extensive
study of the Thompsons in the Bland County area, I am also convinced it is so.
The number of James in the area are few, James F. is the best fit.The best supportive record found to date is Netti Schreiner-Yantis, "Archives
of the Pioneers of Tazewell County, Virginia", the abtracted will of George
Wagonner, (page 165), 25 April 1822. George's son, Adam is listed as getting
land on Kimberling Fork. Adam was father of Franklin Waggonner, who was first
husband of Catherine Y. Munsey. Executor was William Bruce, who was a brother
of Mary Bruce, wife of Amos Thompson. Amos is listed as a witness, he was the
father of a James Thompson. William Hearne is a witness; our James F. Thompson
married Sarah (Sallie) Hearne whose father was William Hearne. Catherine Y.
Munsey's second husband was D. F. Thompson, whose father was our James.BIRTH-DEATH-SPOUSE: Letter from Mary-Margaret Beach, Warrenton MO, to Brian

If James F Thompson lived at Walker's Creek, this may be his child.
