My father is Carlos Thompson b.11/06/1936 in Franklin County, KY, married June Young. My Grandfather is William Cleston Thompson b.08/25/1907 in Shelby County, KY married Corine Gladys Mitchell. My GreatGrandfather is Squire Bailey Thompson b.05/06/1884 in Shelby County, KY, married Sarah Isabelle Rogers (also spelled Rodgers). My Great-Great Grandfather is William Mason Thompson b.03/15/1857, also in Shelby County, KY. Some have it in their records that his wife was Sarah Dugan, but other records indicate that his wife's name was Mary Lee Maiden Name Unknown. I found William M. Thompson's death certificate, it matched as the informant was Jeff thompson of Shelby County and he had another Son named Jeff. It indicates that my GGG Grandfather is Louis (or Lewis) Thompson b.around 1832-34 and married in Shelby County, KY on 03/15/1854. Thhis is where my family tree on the Thompson's end, and I am lost as to where ! to go next. If you have any information that can help it will be very much appreciated. And by the way my youngest brother is also named Michael Thompson. My e-mail is Jujut1955@aol.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
