A few years back I received in the mail pages 11 and 12 of a "report by Judge L P Waid". The person who sent the pages did not know where she got them. If they look familiar to someone out there would love to have the rest of his report and will gladly pay to have the pages copied and sent to me. Please get in touch with me and we can go from there. The Joshua and Mary (Morton, dau of Marshall Morton Sr and wife Winney) Thompson are ggg grandparents of my hubby. The James Thompson featured in the piece is brother to his gg grandmother Winney Thompson who married the Rev. Samuel D. Smith...thanks, Melba Lowe JUDGE L P WAID's REPORT, page 11 Thompson Line Joshua and Mary Thompson (my great great great grandparents) lived in what is now Pickens county, South Carolina, on a farm adjoining the farm of Daniel Durham (named page 5). Joshua died in 1829 and left 10 surviving children. James Thompson (my great great grandfather), was administrator of his father's estate. (The Marvin Laney mentioned on page 5 sent most of the information on the Thompson line to Nellie Robbins Dowling who forwarded it to me. I do not know his connection, if any, to the Thompson family. He gives George Gaither credit for compiling it, and the information shows James Thompson born in 1801 in what ins now Pickens County SC, but M L Thompson, also mentioned on page 5, says the family book shows James born in 1800.) James Thompson and Sarah Durham, also on page 5, were married about 1819. Between 1832 and 1835 they moved to DeKalb County, Alabama and later moved to Blount County, Alabama. Sarah died between 1870 and 1880. James then lived with his son John and died some time after 1880. James and Sarah Thompson had 10 children: 1. J. Terrell, of Blount County. A daughter, Sarah Ann, married James Pinckney Wiad, son of Isaac Hampton Waid. 2. Matilda, born 1821, married Richard Gaither in Alabama and moved on to Mississippi. A son, George Gaither mentioned above, returned to Walnut Grove, Alabama, and was an outstanding man. He was the second mayo9r or Walnut Grove, and for four years county supervisor of schools in Etowah County Alabama. 3. Lemuel, of Blount County, had six children, including a son named James Pinkney. 4. Amelia (my great grandmother). see below 5. John, of Blount County, left at least 8 children. One of them was Cobb, the father of the M L Thompson previously mentioned. 6. James 7. Sarah Ann 8. Winnie, of Blount County, married a Smith and later married Drury Bynum. 9. Elijah 10.Jane, married a White and moved to Mississippi Amelia Thompson and Greenberry Waid were married in Marshall County, Alabama, February 6, 1845. Greenberry died about 1859, leaving a widow and six children. They lived with James Thompson for some time after that. Amelia Waid and N D Webster were married in Saint Clair County, Alabama, November 22, 1872. he was a northern man who came to Whitney Alabama in St Clair County, to be depot agent for a railroad company. According to what I have heard he was a good man and good to Amelia's family. The census records in St Clair County for 1880 show N D Webster and Amelia Webster each to be 54 years old. This would make the date of birth for each to be either 1825 or 1826. Afterh the death of Mr Webster, Amelia Webster and Henry Whitley were married in Blount County, Alabama, December 27, 1891. The records of her first two marriages I found accidently while looking for other records. I made a search for the third. From what my father had said I had assumed that her first and third marriages were in Blount and her second in St Clair. All three records give her name as Amelia, with no middle name. She was often called Millie, but that might have been a corruption of Amelia, or she might have had a middle name of Millicent or Millie. As to her children, wee Waid line, page 13.
