Of the daughters of Lewis & Mary Thompson: 

*Beady married old Captn. William Ford, son of Preserved Ford. 

Sallie very obviously married Thompson Barfield, son of Barrett Senr.

Fanny may have married a Stephens, but no record. 

Milly (Amelia) married William H. Hays, son of Benjamin Hays. She is buried beside William H. at their cemetery just off Highway #41 west of Lake View, near what is called Barfield's crossing. (Wm. H. Hayes married 3 times. His 2nd wife was a Ford, his 3rd wife an Elvington, with whom he had 5 daughters. One of these daughters married Jasper Barfield, and resided near the cemetery.)
Milly/Emelia/Amelia's tombstone states she is the daughter of the Rev. Lewis Thompson and his wife Mary. 

*Nancy married Henry Rogers, brother of Dew Rogers. They resided very near Dew, in the Gaddy's Mill area. 

John and Ebenezer Thompson descendants etc. not known to me.
