See pg. 25, Ancestors and Descendants of Joel W. Thompson for movement history of the family.
Reportedly at the age of five, he and his family moved to Hudson, OH and later to Twinsburg, OH. Wife's family moved to Hudson OH in 1814. Joel and Emily were in Ohio in 1816 according to Twinsburg, Ohio History book (1817-1917) along with their 10 children. In 1839, Joel and his son, Augustus went to Winnebago County in 1839 and the entire family moved to this location in 1840, moving in a two horse covered wagon. The railroad did not exist at that time. First home was a log cabin with a puncheon floor.
He was a millwright by trade and in 1839 built a sawmill. After that he built sawmills in Stevens Point WI and Rocton, IL. He was one of the first justices of the peace in Pecatonica Township. In 1852, he went to California, where he superintended the construction of a mill, receiving one thousand dollars for his services. He was away from home at that time for about fourteen or fifteen months. Upon his return, he was involved with agriculture development. He served as a justice of the peace for fifteen or twenty years, retiring from office in the 1870's. While in Ohio, he became a member of the Masonic fraternity and in his life exemplified its beneficent spirit. Both he and his wife were consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal church and the lent their aid and influence to the intellectual and moral, as well as material, development of Winnebago County in its pioneer days. Mr. Thompson gave his political allegiance to the Whig party until its dissolution, when he joined the ranks of the Republican party. In the family of this worthy couple were twelve children, eight sons and four daughters, Gideon, Laura Ann, Harriett, Augustus, Abraham, Joel B., Emily Florilla, Joel Gideon, Edwin, Edward, Joel Mills, and Mary Eliza.
