21 NOV 1859 A. J. Canaday, Jesse Thompson and Wm. M. Jones signed papers to commit Minerva Manly to the Illinois State Hospital for treatment for "insanity". Minerva (Ingram) Manly is daughter of Miller Ingram. She was born 23 JAN 1829. She married William Manly. Minerva has 2 older sisters. One recently was identified as Nancy J. who married A. J. Canaday. Nancy born: 1821. Unknown sister around this age. Possibly Jesse Thompson or Wm. M. Jones is the husband of the other unknown sister. In the 1860 Edgar Co., Il Prairie Twp. pg. 763 there is a Jesse Thompson 42 b: TN(hard to read) wife: Armenta 36 yrs. b: TN(hard to read). In the 1860 Jefferson Co., Il. Mt. Vernon PO Pg. 905 there is a Jesse Thompson 29 yrs. old Physician with wife Elizabeth 32yrs. b: TN. Child Pricilla A. In the 1860 Edgar Co., Il. Fed. Census Prairie Twp. Pg. 579 there is a William M. Jones 45 yrs. with wife: Mary A. 44 yrs. I can't read state she was born in. Are there Thompson's or Jones in your line that could connect to my line? An Obit. would help. Of course, I don't know when they all died - but if you are looking for background for a wife - perhaps we can exchange notes.
