Re: Thomson/Thompson in the Borders of Scotland.

ROBERT F. RIDER
I checked any the time I viewed for that but saw no others. I just looked at an old map of Roxburgshire. Roberts bible said all his children were born in Bowden. Askirk is very close and there was a Hundalee close which could be Hunlie I suspect. The old writing
is not clear on my documents but the spelling is sometimes anyone's guess as well. It also showed a Kirk at Ashkirk which probably is the Kirk in the documents. In Scotland I believe the name was spelled Thomson but in the US all but one son used Thompson.
He was also a Robert and a Methodist preacher in WA. D.C. in the early 1800's.

Maybe nothing, but it’s worth
the shot. I have seen TOMSON spelling as well....work with any/all spellings you can come up with. But DO go back over the film. It’s a hard go, I admit, but easy to miss a detail. Could HUNLIE, be HUNTLY? Goldie
