Clark Swim THOMPSON (b. 1852 in NC) was my great-great-grandfather. He moved to KY at the age of eleven. Married Louiza THOMPSON (yes, she had the same last name) and had several children, including my great-grandmother Rhoda Caroline THOMPSON (m. Tecumseh COSBY).

Clark was a farmer and both his parents were born in NC, but I can't get any further back than that.
