I am looking for any information on the family of my great-great-grandfather (George) Washington THOMPSON, born about 1827 in Kentucky and died apparently between 1870 and 1880. He married Lucy (LNU but suspected to be Lucy WILSON of Owen County) about 1856 and they had children James, Sarah/Sallie, Mary, George, Ruth, and John Walter. In 1870, the family appears in the Daviess County Census with the children above - page 177, Washington 43, Lucy A. 34, James 13, Sarah 12, Mary 8, George 7, Ruth 4, John Walter 11/12. Washington was a farmer, born in Kentucky. By 1880, the children are scattered. The only two I've found in 1880 so far are Sallie (22), married to Marcus Finnie and living in Woodford County (Midway) and Ruth (14), who was living with Sallie. Also, Bell CARTER, future wife of James Thompson, was living at the home of her parents, John A. and Virginia Carter, in Franklin County, so James (about 23) was not married (or at least not to Virginia). By 1890, the three youngest children are dead - George in 1888, Ruth and John Walter in 1889 - buried in the North Fork Baptist Church Cemetery near Switzer, KY. (ref. Church and Family Graveyards of Franklin Co., KY) James married Virginia Bell Carter November 26, 1885 and they had one child, Albert Carter Thompson, born January 24, 1887. Mary Thompson married Jefferson Davis YOUNG in Midway on November 17, 1885 and they had two or possibly three children - Maud born about 1890 and Marguerite born January 10, 1893, both in Woodford County. Mary died in Scott County at the home of her sister Sallie (Mrs. Marcus Finney) in August, 1896 of consumption and is supposedly buried at Switzer, in Scott County. There was a son named Jefferson Davis Young who died as a child, but he may have been from a later marriage. I have looked for (George) Washington Thompson in 1850 and 1860 with no success. He may have been out of the state. I have looked for marriage records of Washington Thompson and Lucy Wilson with no success. Any help or ideas about how to search would be appreciated. Thanks, Doug
