General Notes: Husband - Robert Thompson

---

After the death of his father, he and his brother, William, conducted the business at Thompsontown, Pennsylvania, for many years, purchasing much additional land in different localities. They purchased at different times the Cuba Mills, the Oakland Mills and other mill properties. About 1829 they built a storehouse on the "Diamond" subsequently occupied by Wickersham Shelley; a storehouse was erected on the canal bank, and in 1835 the old mill was torn down and the present mill erected. He was a very exact man and upon his notes have been built the later records of the earlier members of the Thompson family. He accumulated a large estate, the bulk of which he left to the sons of his brother and business partner, William Thompson, with whom he made his home.
