    • Family tradition is that Thomas Thompson moved to Kentucky at the same time as his father-in-law but tax records suggest that Francis Robinson may have moved in 1817, as Francis stated in his Revolutionary War pension depositions, and that Thomas Thompson made the move in 1818 which is the last year that he appears in the Orange County, Virginia Personal Property Tax Lists.

      About Jeremiah Chandler, the minister over the Thomas Thompson and Frances Robinson wedding.

      He was born in Caroline County, VA in 1749. He later moved to Orange County, VA and was the minster for the North Pamunky Church and simultaneously was minister for the Piney Branch Church in Spotsylvania County, VA. Jeremiah Chandler was the minister of both churches for about forty years.
    • Other researchers specify a date of death in 1859 however, I have found Thomas T Thompson or T. T. Thompson on the 1850 and on the 1860 Census records in Cordova, Grant County, Kentucky where he is listed at age 72 which fits with the birth date found in other records and oral histories.
    • According to the NSDAR Record Copy application for Member Number M732521 (Roberta Denise Foster Korzenborn) pertaining to Ancestor Number A097441 (Francis Robinson), a Will exists for Thomas T. Thompson in the Grant County, Kentucky, Will Book F, pages 257-260.

      There does not seem to be any reference to microfilmed copies of Will Book F so a copy of the Will may only be obtainable from the Grant County courthouse.

      Other records related to the Will or Probate are to be found in other books that have been microfilmed as referenced and included with Thomas T. Thompson's record here.
