Does anyone have any information on William Thompson, born 1873, son of Solomon Thompson and Clarissa Eliz Griffith? Was his middle inital C? Did he also work as a boat capt like his older brother Lon? (Elzey) Note to Olivia: I received some stuff from my stepmother where apparently my father had tried to get a copy of his birth cert. The info is hand written but lists the parents of Eleazer Alonzo Thompson as Clarissa Elizabeth GRIFFITH and Solomon WILLIAMSON Thompson. I think the middle name was to say who the mother of Solomon was, who we know was Martha Williamson, Soooo...you were correct and the research I had been sent was wrong. bobbie
