General Notes: Husband - James Thomson

---

He was born, certainly after 1755, probably well after 1761; and probably died young. He was joint heir with his brothers Thomas and James in the homestead property of the pioneer John Thomson, under the following provision in the will in 1779. "I do give all my land to my sons James, Thomas and Peter. If any of these heirs doth decease under the age of eighteen years, their part is to remain equally divided amongst the other heirs then living on the premises. I do allow my son James to have one horse and saddle when twenty-one years of age." The property transfer records are silent as to the interest of James, but show that the homestead estate was in the possession of Peter and Thomas at the time of the death of the latter who willed his share to Peter, and hence it is to be assumed that James Thomson died young, probably under eighteen years of age.
