Thompson

                                    [Sometimes Name Appears as “Thomson.”]
                                                     VARIOUS FAMILIES.
Data taken from Volumes I and II, compiled by Alberta Rowe McChesny for the Cowley County Genealogical Society, Arkansas City, many years ago. Also from early census records and Arkansas City and Winfield directories. MAW
                                       ARKANSAS CITY DIRECTORY 1893.
[Note: Years ago Larry Rhodes gave me a xeroxed copy that he had made of the 1893 Directory. I am going to try and copy it for the sake of those who are interested in history. There were many ads that appeared in various forms. Many mistakes were made on the Directory. I have corrected items where I could. MAW]
