I am trying to help someone who is descended from William D. Thompson (b. abt 1853) and wife Theodocia Riggan (b. abt. 1858). If anyone on the list recognizes this couple in their line or knows the parents of either, could you please let me know. There is a little extra info from the 1870 census which shows: 1870 Census Warren Co., NC, Six Pound Dist., Page 637 lists: Thompson Emily age 53 Edward age 21 William age 16 Herod age 7 Eliza age 19 Henry age 2 I found 2 Herod Thompsons on the 1850 Census that may be a clue to the Thompson lineage. As for Theodocia, I think her name is misspelled on the 1870 Census as Cheadosia, i.e. 1870 Census Warren Co., NC, Hawtree, Page 481 Riggins, Ellen age 39 Cheadosia age 12 William age 10 I can not identify either Emily (mother of William) or Ellen (mother of ?Theodocia) from the Warren Co. marriages that I have. Thanks, Nola nduffy@patch.net
