I've "rescued" the original marriage certificate for William THOMPSON and his bride Ellen M. BROWN who were married in Unadilla, Michigan on the 24th of July 1846. The ceremony was performed by Josephus MORTON a Presbyterian Minister and witnessed by Sarah P. MORTON and Mariah MERRILL. Based on limited research and thanks to the assistance of a THOMPSON Family Researcher I was able to gather the following information regarding the couple: Census records provide the following information: 1860 census of Tyrone, MI: William THOMPSON, age 38, a Farmer, born NY Ellen M.
