    3. William Thompson was born August 20, 1781 in Pennsylvania, and died May 08, what year? Annotated 1850 Greenup Co. KY Census found at Portsmouth Public Library, Scioto Co. Ohio states William b. 20 August 1781 d. 08 May 1863 A compilation of cemetery records lists: Cemetery #305, plot 640 William Thompson b. August 20, 1781 d. May 08, 1863 husband of Elizabeth O. Thompson Cemetery #305, plot 641 Elizabeth Gibbs Thompson As a point of reference, Mary (Anderson) Thompson's date of death was listed in both the 1850 annotated census and the compiled cemetery records as March 2, 1915. The correct date, supported by the actual death certificate, and family letters written at the time of her death, was March 2, 1913. "History of Kentucky" by William Elsey Connelley and E. M. Coulter, P.H.D. page 207: "Mill's Station, supposed to be in Greenup or Lewis County; Wm. Thompson, of White Oak, Greenup County, who died May 7, 1868, aged 77, settled there in 1790, with his father." Does anyone have access to mortality records for 1863 or 1868 (if such a thing exists) or newspapers for those years, which might tell us which year is the correct one? Thanks!
