Thompson, Robert Harvey Varney website

The Thompson's
The origin of our branch of the Thompson family is unknown.

The oldest member of the family that I know about is F. M. Thompson. We know that he had a son in Giles County, Virginia in or about 1868 and he was married to Elizabeth. We know this from the Giles County Wedding license for his son Robert Harvey Thompson.

Robert Harvey Thompson had a son named Arthur Francis Thompson who married Nancy Alice Varney of Ragland, Mingo County, West Virginia. Their son was Carl Ray Thompson.

Hopefully, more information will come to light, but for now this family's history is a mystery.

Robert Harvey Thompson
Robert Harvey Thompson was known as Harvey or Harve. I have been able to find out very little about him. Robert Harvey Thompson His marriage license states his parents were F.M. Thompson and Elizabeth from Giles County, Virginia. He married Emma T. Vaught on 26 February 1889 in Giles County, Virginia. He was born about 1871, in Virginia and died 21 December 1946, in Montgomery County, Virginia. His residence and birth place were listed on his Wedding Certificate as Giles County, Virginia and his occupation was farming.
Emma Templeton Vaught
Emma remains another mystery. The wedding license states that she is the daughter of Riley H. Vaught. No mother is listed. The license says she is 25 years old which would mean she was born about 1864 but her gravestone says she was born 26 February 1858 and died 20 November 1918. She is buried in the Vaught Cemetery in Spruce Run, Giles County, VA. Her stone states that she is the wife of R. H. Thompson,

Harvey and Emma had three known children:
Mary Myrtle Thompson (1891-ca 1955) married Efford Oran Wysong.
Kate Camilia Thompson (born ca 1894) married Luther Kessinger.
Arthur Francis Thompson (1897-1971) married 1st Nancy Alice Varney; 2nd Lelia Estep.

After the death of Emma, Robert married Mary B. Criner (circa 1901-1975) in about 1920. They had eight known children, all born in Virginia:
