ISAAC C. THOMPSON, retired farmer, P.O. Potter Brook, Tioga Co., Penn., was born in Tompkins county, N.Y., November 16, 1821, a son of Isaac and Keziah (Wickes) Thompson.
His father was a native of Connecticut and a son of Jared Thompson, a pioneer of Ulysses, Tompkins Co., N.Y.
His maternal grandfather was Israel P. Wickes, formerly of Rensselaer county, N.Y., and a pioneer of Tompkins county, N.Y.
Isaac Thompson, Sr., settled with his family in Harrison township, Potter Co., Penn., in 1832, locating on a farm where the village of Mills now stands, and cleared and improved the same; here he died March 26, 1874, and his wife November 13, 1876. They reared a family of seven children:
