Hello list: The Thompsons in Macoupin Co., are my wall. Does anyone have William Maton Thompson, B. abt 1810 who parented land in 1839 in Macoupin Co., IL ?? I am unable to find him there in the 1840, 1850 or 1860 census. Dont know where he came from or where he went. His wife may have been Mary J. Thompson, B. abt 1810 who died in 1860 and is buried in Panther Creek Cem., Macoupin Co., her marker says wife of W. M. Thompson. I suspect they are parents of Isham Marion Thompson, B. Dec. 1835, in IL., place unknown, who is my gr-grand father. Isham's death cert. did not give that info. Need any info. you may have. I suspect many of the Thompsons there are related as Isham named many of his children with the same names, Leonard, James, Samuel, Maton, John, Mary Jane, William and others. Does this sound like we may connect. Thank you for reading this and your help. Please feel free to post to the list or mail me direct. Leonard Thompson
