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.
