I have seen several places including the Ancestry CD that Howard E Thompson, the son of Nero Thompson and Sarah Elizabeth Williams, married a Mary A NORRIS. (His sister Margaret Dunn Thompson married Thomas Banks Harris.) THIS IS NOT CORRECT! I just looked at the microfilm of the original record - and I will admit that I at first read it as Norris (or Morris or Worris). But the first initial of the last name is written exactly like the first letter of Howard County. This is page 21 of Book 3. The record is Howard E Thomson married Mary 13 Feb 1845 by James M Butts, MG. This is the day before James M Butts officiated at the marriage of Thomas B Harris and Margaret D Thomson. All were of Howard County. This also agrees with the Cemetery book. Mary's death record there has her maiden name as Harris. Maybe I am late, and everyone already knew this. Carolyn
