Records are inconsistent concerning his state of birth, but W.VA. seems the most probable. He is buried in Spring Grove Cemetery. He had a brother, Moses Franklin Thompson, b. abt 1823 in Wheeling, W.VA, who was a merchant in Cincinnati and is also buried in Spring Grove Cemetery. Their father was John Thompson, who appears to have been living in Cincinnati with Moses in 1870 at the age of 82 and is listed as born in PA, although Samuel lists his father as born in Ohio. Family history says that the Samuel's mother was Elsa Livingston, but the interment records at Spring Grove Cemetery list the parents of both Samuel and Moses as John and Mary. I have information on the descendants of Samuel and Moses. Samuel's son Charles Telford became a prominant attorney and civic leader in Minneapolis. But I am trying to find out what other sibli! ngs they had, where John Thompson came from, who the mother of Samuel and Moses was, and any other information about this family. I believe they were Scotch-Irish, but have no information about their arrival in the U.S. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
