    Notes 
    • "James Thompson, Sr., son of Alexander Thompson, was also a soldier in the Revolution. He served for 20 months and 21 days and was also at the Battle of King's Mountain. He was appointed by the Georgia Legislature to the Board of Madison County Academy in November 1812. He was on the first Superior Court Jury list in 1812 of Madison County." (THOMPSON MILL HISTORY by Calvin G. Floyd)

      In HISTORICAL SKETCHES, PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES AND EARLY SETTLERS IN NORTHEAST GEORGIA, p 72-76, it is noted that: "James Thompson had in his young manhood fought the British and Tories at Cowpens, King's Mountain, and Guilford Court House. He married after the war, Sarah, the daughter of the widow Saye, whose husband had been killed in the Battle of Savannah, Ga, on the 9th of October 1779. James Thompson and his wife, Sarah, raised two sons and several daughters. Two of their daughters became wives of the two Carringtons, the sons of Rev. Timothy Carrington, a Baptist Minister, and perhaps the first pastor of Lystra Church. From these two daughters of James Thompson are numerous Carringtons now residing in Madison County and elsewhere. James Thompson's youngest daughter, then somewhat advanced in life, became the wife of John Bell, of Hall County, GA, a nephew of old Jim Bell.
