Have no reason to believe they were the same Robert Thompson. St. Mary's
Co, MD had several Thompson lines, and not all relationships between them,
if any, are known.
1 Robert * THOMPSON b: Abt. 1640 in England d: Bet. 18-Oct-1700 -
28-Mar-1701 in St. Mary's Co, MD Fact 2: Bef. 1680 Immigrated to MD
Fact 5: land warrant for: "Hard Fortune" in 1694 occupation: watchmaker
religion: Catholic
.. +Mary * FRENCH b: Abt. 1670 in St. Mary's Co, MD d: 21-Aug-1724 in St
Mary Co., MD m: Bef. 1685 St. Mary's Co, MD- her 1st husband Father: James
French Mother: Elizabeth Meekin
It was his son James, not the one below, who married Elizabeth French.
Elizabeth French was probably related to Mary French, but I do not have the
relationship. The George Thompson who married Rebecca Medley is his brother.
The other:
1 Robert THOMPSON aka: Roberts Tompson b: Bet. 1635 - 1693 d: Bef.
22-Feb-1710/11 in MD religion: Protestant
.. +Margaret RAILEY aka: Margaret Ryley b: Bet. 1685 - 1695 d: Nov-1713 m:
Bef. 1708 St. Mary's County, MD Father: John Railey Mother: Unknown
I believe the Robert that was married to Margaret Railey was not Catholic
and I do not have him tied to the land he owned. Do you?
We are certain, due to will filed, that the Robert Thompson who married Mary
French (who later married Thomas Cissell, died c 1700-1701.
While we are at it, here is a Robert Thompson's from St. Mary's who may or
may not be one of the above, but I do not have enough information to
indicate it with certainty:
Robert THOMPSON b: Bet. 1620 - 1675 +Mary UNKNOWN
daughter: Elizabeth THOMPSON b: Bet. 1670 - 1690 d: 1761 Fact 4:
managed her own affairs & lived as a widow for 28 years after William died
.... +William HAYDEN aka: William Haydon, Sr b: 1674 in St. Mary's Co, MD
d: Bef. 6-Mar-1733/34 in SMC, MD m: Bet. 1710 - 1718 Father: Francis Haydon
Mother: Thomasin Butler occupation: Planter
This Hayden is a Catholic line, I believe.

Did this Robert Thompson married Mary Raley or Mary French?
Why so many date variations on the birth of Robert?
