Surnames: THOMPSON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AW.2ADE/777 Message Board Post: Just recently learned that my gr-gr-gr grandfather Benjamin Franklin Thompson landed in Woodruff County/Augusta area in the summer of 1870 (which is pretty weird since he didn't sell his land up here until 1873 but whatever, it is definately him). I am not sure if he brought his second family (the one I descend from) with him or not. I am assuming so but unsure. I do know that he brought his daughter by his first marriage to a woman named Louise in KY. Her name was Josephine Annie/Ann Thompson and she married William Miller. Josephine's half siblings and my gr-gr grandfather's half siblings are going to be listed below. I've placed asteriks among the ones that may have stayed in the Woodruff County area if they went down there. James Lonzo Thompson (Jim) b. Dec 1863. I DO know what happened to him as he is my gr-gr grandfather. He was brought back to Randolph County along with 2 sisters. * (?) John Thompson b. 1865 or 1866. I believe I found him in the 1880 census for Dunklin County, MO but am not sure it is him 100%. I do know it was spread in the family that he came up from Independence County in the '30s to visit his nephews here but that's it. Lucy A. Thompson b. 1866-1867. She's with her uncle in Randolph County in 1880. I'm almost certain she died there before 1893 in Randolph County, AR. Married an Alonzo Rose. *Mary Thompson b. 1869. I'm not entirely sure she survived because she was only one year old in 1870 census. BUT, I can't find most of the family in 1880 so, I'm not ruling anything out. *Sarah E. Thompson b. 1873. She's the primary reason I think my gr-gr-gr grandparents stayed together but I'm not ruling her out as being illigitamate and simply being given the same name as her family. She's also with an uncle in 1880 in Randolph County, AR. I think she disappears before 1900. Others may exist in the line but I would have no way of knowing. Oh yeah, one more thing. My gr-gr-gr grandmother Cynthia McDaniel Lacy Thompson had a son by a first marriage. In 1870, she had given him the last name Thompson on the census so it may have stayed that way. *William H. (Lacy) Thompson b. Dec 1858 In the 1970's, my dad and grandpa went through the Woodruff County area. My grandpa made a passing remark that we had distant Thompson family down that way. Since I know Josephine left after getting married in 1872, I have hope that maybe she had a sibling down there as well who left family.

I too have researched Woodruff co. My best leads came from a visit in 2002 to the public library in Augusta. The women in the library are very kind and helpful. They told me that all records are in Little Rock. You can go on line and down load forms to send for birth, death, etc. They also had a book listing all cemeteries in Woodruff and had maps to their locations. Even found someone to take me to the location. Hope this helps' Johanna Hoffman Pipkin

After he died. She married a Dave Richerson/Ritcherson around Dunklin Co., Mo. I don't have a date but it would have been in the 1920's I think. No Children from this marriage that I know of.
