Hi guys, I stumbled across this precious little biography and several others while researching my own Thompson and Harrison families. See the link:

http://www.rebelswithavision.com/CharlesThomson.com/

Charles Thomson was the secretary for the first Continental Congress that produced the Declaration of Independence 1776. He married Hannah Harrison who was the sister of Benjamin Harrison who signed the final copy of the Declaration. Benjamin of course was father to President William Henry Harrison who was grandfather to President Benjamin Harrison. Lots of folks seem to have Charles Thomson in their trees and other have Benjamin Harrison the signator but few have the connection of Ben's sister in there. Just wanted to post this important tidbit before I continue working on my Thompson/Harrison brick wall. Thanks.
