Born in Baltimore, MD. Father's name was Thomas Burns Thompson (VA), mother was born Judith Carolyn Barnes (NC).

We're from the Barnes family of Northhampton County, NC - then Emporia/Waverly, VA - then Baltimore, MD. On the Barnes side back to Jacob Barnes born in Seaboard, NC in 1853. And the Padgett family of Henrico County, VA back to James Fleming Padgett born 1804.

On Thompson side, back to my 3rd Great-grandfather Joseph Thompson, father, and Emma Thompson, mother - of my Great-great-grandfather Francis Alexander Thompson - Horry County, SC.

My grandfather's (Thompson) mother was a Vereen, and we can take her back to Jacques Varin - a French Huguenot born in 1650 who arrived in Charleston, SC in 1680 - married to Susanna Horry who was herself a French Huguenot born in exile in Switzerland.
