June 7, 1913 aged 75 yrs 3 mo 25 days Civil War-Army Pvt. Co. H. 7th Il Inf. Willie Thompson (son of Amos & F.C.) d. Aug 4, 1881 aged 10 yrs. 5 mo. 4 days. Lemuel Thompson d. Oct. 22, 1882 aged 38 yrs. Jonathan Thompson d. April 28, 1887 aged 31 yrs. Alfred Thompsons d. March 15, 1890 aged 56 yrs. there are many more Thompson's buried there but these are ones you can pinpoint to your ancestors. I had a Sarah C. Steenrod/Burrows/LEE..Thompson ..ggg grandmother who is my BRICK WALL!! I know she married an Alfred Thompson in Logan county, Il on June 1, 1871. This was her 3rd marraige. And she seemed to have trouble with men. In trying to pinpoint which Alfred Thompson is her spouse (NOT much LUCK yet)..I found an Alfred Thompson.. from Lincoln who had a least two scraps with the law... I sent for court papers...hard to read them..very hard..but from what I could make out he rode his fathers horse up to a neighbors house and stole a TURKEY and rode of real quick..but people saw him and he had to go to court. So I'm not sure if We share the same Alfred Thompson or not. It's been my brick wall so I don't know much..I believe he also divorced my Sarah Cornelia Steenrod and remarried a Elizabeth Miller on Aug 17, 1881. Well hope some of this info may help you. If I figure out anything more on the ALFRED Thompson mystery I'll let you know. You might take a peak at Dewitt County..for some reason I think(memory?) that Alfred had some connection to Dewitt Co. also..maybe some of the family moved on to that county in later years?? JUST a thought. Barb Seggelke Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
