Some of the story is familiar to me as told by my Grandfather, Howard Francis Boyle. My grandfather related to me the story of the Thompson family dividing up land as each of his many sons and daughters married until he was surrounded by his family's homes. My grandfather was born in Hinton, KY and walked along the railroad tracks with his mother, Maude Belle Thompson to visit his Thompson grandparents across the county line.
