Additional Comments:
Flanders Thompson, Sr., b. 174?, Virginia, enlisted for Military Service under 
Colonel Heath of the Virginia Continental Line, and mustered in at Halifax, in 
1776. He migrated to Laurens County, SC at the end of the 1770s and married 
Elizabeth Green, daughter of Rev. David Green, on June 11, 1781, in Laurens 
County, SC; they were married by a Justice of the Peace.  
Flanders Thompson, Sr., lived in the Laurens County, SC area from the late 
1770s until his death on January 27, 1831.  
His widow, Elizabeth Green Thompson, removed to areas of Lumpkin County, 
Georgia, and lived as a resident in that area until her death, in 1844.  
The two daughters enumerated in this court document in Lumpkin County, GA were 
NOT the only heirs of Flanders Thompson, Sr. and Elizabeth Green Thompson.
Mary Ann Thompson and Elizabeth Thompson were but two (2) of the MANY children 
born to this marriage.
