Among the many who have kindly furnished material especial mention should be made of Mrs. Isabel Fitts and Mrs. Fanny E. Phelps of East Windsor, Darwin W. Phelps of South Dayton, N. Y., Mrs. Frederick Larder of Sinclairville, N. Y., Miss Emma N. Folsom Of Willsboro, N. Y., Mrs. Joseph Moore of W'ashing ton, D. C., and Mr. Arthur R. Thompson Of Hartford, Conn., who secured nearly all Of the data of the Harper branch. Miss Ruth Thompson Sperry's researches as published in Stiles' His tory Of Windsor have afforded a substantial foundation on which to build, and much information has been Obtained from the Allen, Pelton, Hooker and Chandler Genealogies. The writer deeply regrets all errors, many of which seemed unavoidable owing to contradictory dates in town and church records, family Bibles, and gravestone inscriptions. Every descendant known to have married has been given a number, and an asterisk prefixed to a number indicates that additional information concerning the family will be found under that number on some succeeding page. Known instances of war service are mentioned, but such data have not been obtainable in all cases. This book is dedicated to the Thompson Family Association, in the hope that its readers of the present and coming genera tions will find it instructive and useful.
