Mary Thompson. Born January 1, 1781. Died January 27, 1815. The family records say Born June 17, 1781 and Died June 27, 1815. She married Conrad Kile. They could be in the Thompson Burying Ground as there are several local connections.
Mary and Conrad Kile's children:
Betsey, daughter of Mary Thompson and Conrad Kile. She was born on March 7, 1797. She married Nat Cottrell.
Nancy, Joel's daughter by Margaret Smith Thompson married Daniel Bunting. According to a genealogy in the Erie Gazette of April 24, 1873, Daniel's sister Tamazine Bunting married Benjamin Cottrell in Lebouef Township in Erie County in 1812.
Their children were: Elizabeth, Martha, and Septama. Septama was born in 1817 and married James S. Moore in 1846. One of their children was James E. Moore who was born in 1847. He married Nancy Betts and had a son James G. Moore. Daniel Buntings' brother John Stockdale Bunting was born in 1780 and died in 1856. In 1817 he married Elizabeth Black who was born in 1798 and died in 1848. Their children were Mary Ann (1818-1843); Nancy (1819-1899) who married Merrick Purdy; and Levi (1821-1894) who married Nancy A. Range (1825-1911). In Evergreen Cemetery is buried Levi C. Bunting (1854-1936) and Amanda A. (1854-1938) the next generation.
Henry Myers was a Revolutionary War soldier who had a daughter named Nancy Ann. She married John Range Jr. John Range Senior had served as a first lieutenant of the 5th Co. 4th Bat. York County, Pa. He was the first white settler east of the Allegheny within the lands of Forest County, Pa. He established a farm at what is now Tionesta, Pa. in 1816.
John Range Sr. emigraed from Adams County, where he settled immediately after the war. Being successful in business, he acquired considerable property. One of his sons, John Jr. , born on April 8, 1772, married Nancy Ann Myers on April 12, 1798. Nancy Ann Myers was born June 4, 1784 and died December 8, 1860. She is the Aunt Nancy Range that Arch Bristow writes about in OLD TIME TALES OF WARREN COUNTY. He describes her as an herb doctor and medicine lady and says that she is buried in "a hilltop cemetery outside of Union City." Because of these family connections, it is possible she is buried in the Thompson Cemetery.
Jemima, daughter of Mary Thompson and Conrad Kile. Born Feb.12, 1799. She married Isaac Moore, a blacksmith and a miner. Their grave inscriptions are in Tallmadge Cemetery.

Hi Stephen Thompson, would you pass my e-mail address on to the Thompson genealogist you mentioned. I think my line of Kemps is the same line that Jemima Kemp came from. My DNA test through ancestry.com shows that I’m a match for Jemima Kemp through her son Joel Thompson. Regards, Dan Kemp

Thank you for providing this wonderful resource on our Thompson Clan. The Thompson’s have a clan reunion every couple of years in Grove City, PA at the city park. It began sometime in the 1870-1880s and a recent reunion I attended was referred to as the 124th! It began as the Double-Cousins Family Reunion involving the Able K + Katy Boyland family and the Aaron Boylan III + Sarah Thompson family. Brother & Sister of Boylan and Thompson married into each other’s family tree.
If you are interested, contact me at the following email address and I will put you in touch with the family genealogist: [email protected]
Allow me to provide additional details correcting the information you have on Able K Thompson (Jr.) and one of his son’s, Joel Thompson. They are my ancestors.
Able K Thompson is referred to as “went west”. Actually he stayed in the western Pennsylvania area. He married Catherine “Katy” Boylan and had a large family. He is buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Clark, Mercer County, PA. Follow Road 58 NW out of Mercer, PA. It is up on a hill prior to descending down into the river valley where Greenville, PA is located. You may find his memorial on FindAGrave.com Able K Thompson 1785-1861. There are a couple of pictures of his memorial headstone placed there by his descendants at the 1926 Reunion.
Joel Thompson, Able K’s son, is listed above as marrying Nancy McDonald Simpson and then dying in 1841. This is incorrect. My sources show his birth on 09 Feb 1813. He did marry Nancy Simpson. They had six children and in the mid 1840s moved to the Chicago, IL area from Union City, PA. The Simpson Family shows the two of them returning to the Unions City area upon the death of Nancy’s grandmother to collect a small inheritance.
The US Census records place Joel and Nancy in November 1850 near Chicago. However, on July 4, 1851 Joel is marrying Mariah (Griswold) Skeel. Something must have happened to Nancy. In the 1860 US Census, Aurora, IL (western suburb of Chicago) shows Joel, Mariah, their two young children, 2 of Joel’s children from his first marriage, and a sister of Mariah’s.

Very interesting. I’ve just discovered that my maternal side of the family originated in this area. My mother’s Grandmother was Jennie Cottrell, dau of Nathanial Ichabod Cottrell Jr. and Mary Moore (dau of James and Lucy Moore of Greenfield). Nathaniel & Mary Moore married in Waterford, PA and Jennie was born in Union City. Somehow Nathaniel Ichabod Cottrell Jr. was related to the Ormsbee’s of Union City

I would like to confirm j. elvebak’s comment above regarding Clarissa Thompson. Clarissa’s maiden name was Sturdevant and she married Quartus (Quentin, Guestus) Eggleston in Norfolk, Litchfield, Connecticut on 25 March 1824. They relocated to the Syracuse, N.Y. area (perhaps Tully). They had a son Harvey Hurd Eggleston b. 2 April 1827 and a daughter Mary Jane b. about 1830. The Mary Jane Eggleston living in the household in 1850 is indeed the daughter of Clarissa Sturdevant Egglestson Thompson from her marriage to Quartus Eggleston. Quartus Eggleston and Clarissa Sturdevant are my 4th great grandparents. Thank you for this Thompson information. I would love to learn if anyone else coming across this page has additional information on Quartus (Quinten, Guestus) Eggleston as I have very limited information on him.

Concerning Caleb Thompson (1790-1863) censuses from 1850 & 1860 show Rebecca Sturdevant living with Caleb and Clarissa. Rebecca Sturdevant was Clarissa’s mother. Clarissa Sturdevant was first married to Quartus Eggleston. Mary Jane Eggleston was not the nanny but Clarissa’s surviving daughter from this union.
