• Notes

  https://www.patch.net/related/thompson.html On August 4, 1690, "William Thompson of the County of Westmorland, in the Colony of Virginia, appoint my dear loving son, John Thompson, of the County of Surry, my lawful attorney. (Surry, Deeds etc. No. 5, p. 245). When William’s eldest son, John Thompson, made his will in Surry Co. on Aug. 2, 1698, he said in will "Brother Samuel now living in Surry County." William’s two sons, Samuel and William, lived in Westmoreland County for about 20 years but moved back to Surry before 1704 when Samuel Thompson was executor of Richard Hargrave’s will and William Thompson was a witness to it. (Bk. 5, p.313) When Lawrence Washington (grandfather to George) made his will in Washington Parish, Westmoreland County, Virginia, on March 11, 1697-8, he bequeathed "to friend, Mr. William Thompson, Clerk, and Mr. Samuel Thompson, each a mourning ring of thirty shillings price each ring." He left "my cousin, John Washington, of Stafford County, and "my friend, Mr. Samuel Thompson, to be my executors, and my loving wife, Mildred, my executrix." The will was proved 10 December 1700 by the oath of Mildred Gale, als. Washington (wife of George Gale), one of the executors, power being reserved for John Washington and Samuel Thompson, the other executor, to act." (Vol. I, p. 299) It appears from this will that Samuel Thompson was in Westmoreland in 1700 and that Samuel and his youngest brother, William Thompson, moved back to Surry between 1700 and 1704 === WESTMORELAND COUNTY, VIRGINIA ORDER BOOK, 1705-1707 {Antient Press}: pg 20 Westmoreland County Court 1st of March 1705/06 - THOMPSON v THOMPSON SAMUELL THOMPSON, Gent., late of this County, brought his action against WILLIAM THOMPSON, one of the Executors of WILLIAM GRAHAM and MARGARETT his Wife, the other Executrix of WILLIAM THOMPSON. deceased, and declared for three thousand three hundred thirty nine pounds of tobacco, And the Defendant by GEORGE ESKRIDGE his Attorney appeared and pleaded to the uncertainty of the Plaintiffs Declartion which being considered by the Court is allowed and the suite dismist with costs which the Plaintiff is ordered to pay to the Defendant als exo === Contributed by: James Hughes The Washington Ancestry and Records of the McClain, Johnson and Forty Other Colonial American Families, Volume 1, Page 239 The Last Will and Testament of Lawrence Washington gentn deceased was proved by the Oaths of George Weedon, Thomas Howes and JOHN ROSIER.
