An engaging and thorough account of the lives of Henry Leo and
Angela Thomas Thompson. This book also contains colorful
information about their ancestors, siblings, and children. Their
parents and grandparents and day-to-day farm life in Kentucky
during the 1930s and 40s are part of the story. The Thomas family
genealogy includes English ancestors who emigrated to Maryland in
1637. Other ancestors include an English king, a Native American
tribal princess, and a signer of the Magna Carta. Documents show
that three Thomas men served in the American War of Independence.
Leo and Angela's descendants are thus eligible for membership in
the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution. Kentucky saw a
steady immigration from the East Coast during the 18th century,
drawn by the promise of fertile land. Thomas and Thompson ancestors
were among the pioneers. The personalities of Angela and Leo, the
tragedies and triumphs of their lives, and their staunch faith have
left a legacy that will be carried on for generations to come.
