I knew of the family records in the 1860 US Census in Lincoln, Logan County, IL. However, I really do appreciate your collection of the tombstone records. I wish that there was an age or a birth year for Lemuel Thompson as he is a direct ancestor of mine. I have conflicting death information about MY Lemuel Thompson born in 1835 in Harrison, Vinton County, Ohio of parents Stewart Thompson and Susanna Salts. I'll bet that this is MY Lemuel, but I'm looking for confirmation. Regarding Alred Thompson, I'm thinking that the tombstone records a different Alfred Thompson than the 1860 US Census. Note the difference in birth years. There could be a mistake on the headstone. Again, too bad there is no notation of parents or birthdate. As for Alfred's criminal record, I was hoping for something more dramatic of my ancestors. I heard that a Robert "Bobby" Thompson born around 1922 may have served time for rape. Do you know where I can get either court records or prison records on-line? If not, where could I write for them? I'll keep an eye out for more on Alfred Thompson for you, too. Thanks again.
