AUST, QUESENBERRY,
THOMPSON -
I'm now researching my GG grandfather and his ancestors. His name was Greenville Thompson,
b. 1835. He appears in Carroll County, VA, on the 1860 US Census with his wife, Margaret
Aust, whom he married in Surry county, NC, Sept. 19, 1853. Children listed are:
Caleb
S. Age 6
Elizabeth F. Age 2
with a Victor Worrell, Age 11.
His son ,who was my G
Grandfather, LeGrand Thompson, was born in Carroll County, VA, in 1861, and later married
Louisa Missouri Quesenberry, b. March 20, 1861, in Carroll County, VA.
Some accounts
of Greenville listed him as a native of Carroll County while another stated that he was born in
Surry County, NC. I have now hit the proverbial stone wall with Greenville! He may be tied to
Col. Archibald Thompson of Tazewell County, VA. Any help will be appreciated. Ray Finney
