These photos were submitted by
Clarke Thompson. The photos and information
are of my ggg grandparents who lived in Choctaw Co. MS. John
Knox (J.K.) Thompson immigrated from Ireland in the mid 1800's and
Nancy Elizabeth Love's family (father was James Harvey "J.H." Love) migrated
in the 1840's from Chester Co., SC. I have much info about her family's
past, however, J.K. is one of my brickwalls. The June 20, 2001 issue
of the Choctaw Plaindealer noted his death in French Camps. He was a saddle
and harness maker. The picture I have of her is of not so good quality.
