McKinney. My gmother (Nannie B Thompson Davis) obituary in 1961 lists 2 brothers - Lambert Thompson, Cincinnati; Charles Thompson, Crab Orchard and 1 sister - Mary Ellen McKinney, Fair Grove, MO. I have been unable to trace the Thompson genealogy back past this. In the 1880 Rockcastle County, KY Census the following is listed: Thompson, Mrs Terry, w,f,35, widow; Mary E, w,f,8; Nancy B, w,f,2. In the same census on another page is listed a Prewitt, Sallie as head of a boarding house or poor house and among other people are list Lambert and Charles Thompson both age 4. They are listed as paupers. I think these are all my Thompsons but not sure. Any info on Mary Ellen Thompson McKinney is appreciated.
