American army officer and businessman. John Taliaferro Thompson was born December 31, 1860, to Lieutenant Colonel James Thompson and Julia Maria Taliaferro. John had one older sister, Frances. James Thompson graduated from West Point in 1851 and was a distinguished artillery officer during the Civil War, but in 1869 he left the Army and began an academic career teaching military science at Indiana University. By age sixteen, John Thompson had decided to pursue a military career. He graduated from West Point in 1882, eleventh in his class. That same year, he married Juliet Estelle Hagans. Within a year their son, Marcellus Hagans Thompson, was born. Like his father and grandfather, Marcellus would graduate from West Point and enter the Army. Upon commissioning, John entered the Army artillery, and between 1882 and 1889 he was trained in engineering and artillery. In 1890, he transferred to the U.S. Army Ordnance Department.
