Descendants of Mary Thompson Generation No. 1 1. MARY1 THOMPSON1 was born Abt. 1789 in MD1, and died 1875 in Rock Island, IL1. She married GEORGE YOUNG WILLIAMS1 18101, son of WILLIAM WILLIAMS and MARGARET WIDNEY. He was born 11 Nov 1788 in Path Valley, PA1, and died 18 Aug 1823 in Chillicothe, OH1. Notes for GEORGE YOUNG WILLIAMS: [3089373-Williams.ged] One source has b.d. 10/11/1788 More About GEORGE YOUNG WILLIAMS: Burial: Grandview Cemetery aft 18701 Residence: Aft. 1814, Dover Twp., Stewart Co., TN1 Children of MARY THOMPSON and GEORGE WILLIAMS are: 2. i. LOUISA2 WILLIAMS, b. 1812, Ohio. 3. ii. THOMPSON WILLIAMS, b. 1814, OH; d. 1872. iii. WILLIAM WILLIAMS1, b. 18161; d. 1845, Memphis, TN1. 4. iv. JOHN G WILLIAMS, b. 1818. 5. v. MARY WILLIAMS, b. 14 Dec 1818, OH; d. 01 Jul 1880. vi. GEORGE WILLIAMS1, b. 14 Dec 18181; d. Infancy1. I can not prove this on Mary Thompson. I know she is mentioned fairly often in the letters between William Williams of Dover, TN and Samuel Williams and it seems her brothers were too, but can find nothing that I can prove, not even that this birthdate or death is right. Any help would be really appreciated. This is one area that the Williams Family Tree Book does not cover.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with some information on Mary Thompson Williams. I know she died in Illinois. Who were her parents? She married my great great great grandfather-Samuel Williams' brother George Young Williams and we have pictures of his tombstone and death date in Ross Co., Ohio. Anyone who could help me...it would be appreciated. The closest I can come is a Mary Thompson who was born in Maryland, but am not sure this is right. Pat Morano

Surnames: Carson Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.ohio.counties.ross/1278/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am looking for the date of death and burial location of Erskine Carson who was born in Chillicothe and a member of the John M. Barrere Post GAR 205, Hillsboro, Ohio. The following comes from Page 50 General business review of Highland County, Ohio : for the year 1892-3. Newark, Ohio: Historical Pub. Co., 1892, 128 pgs E. CARSON, Postmaster.--Among those who have been actively identified with public affairs, both in this and his native county, we refer to Mr. E. Carson, our present postmaster. Mr. Carson is a native of Chillicothe, in this State, where he was born in 1838. After completing his literary education in his native place, he became identified with railroad work, from 1856 to the breaking out of the war of the rebellion was in the employ of the Marietta and Cincinnati railroad. The toxin of war and the threatened disruption of the Union, led his in Oct. 1861, to forsake the quiet walks of life and enter the army in the defense of our national integrity and honor. Becoming a member of of Co. I, 73rd O. V. I., he served with credit and distinction through battle bivouac and march until disabled by a gunshot wound received at the second battle of "Bull Run," receiving his honorable discharge Oct. 21, 1862. Few persons have carried with them, every day, a wound which was a const! ant reminder of our national conflict. Ever since receiving this wound, Mr. Carson has been obliged to have it dressed three times each day. In 1863 he was called upon by his fellow citizens of Ross county to fill the position of clerk of courts, after which he again engaged in railroad work, and previous to receiving the appointment of postmaster of this place, April 18th, 1890, he filled the position of station agent here for the C., W. & V railroad, now the B. & O. S. W. R'y. As a matter of public record and history, we may be permitted to recall an incident in which Mr. Carson was incidentally the means of breaking out the famous reply of Gov. Foraker, in the matter of returning "Rebel Flags." The proposition incited comments in all sections, and the following correspondence fully explains, itself: Hillsboro, June 15th 1887 Gov. J. B. Foraker, Columbus, O.: The old soldiers of Hillsboro hope you will not give up any captured rebel flags in the State House, at Columbus-intense feeling among the boys who wore the blue. E. Carson To which Mr. Carson Received the following: Executive Chambers, Columbus June 15th, 1887 E. Carson Esq. Hillsboro, O.: "No Rebel flags will be surrendered while I am governor J. B. Foraker" Under the administration of Mr. Carson the postoffice here has received his personal attention, and its departments so systematized as to insure the highest efficiency and public convenience. I am working on trying to locate the burial places of all the 205 post members. jasche45133@gmail.com
