I found Benjamin F. Thompson in the 1850 Platte Co, Lee township census. He was the exact age that my g-g-g grandfather Benjamin Franklin Thompson would have been. It is the only one I have found to come even close to the Benjamin I need to find. What I know--my g-g-g grandfather was born bet 1827 (prob 1827 as the 1860 census has him as 33) and 1832. He was also born in KY. Did your Benjamin spend time in TN or AR? I am hoping for a connection. I have been looking for many hours.
