I am interested in knowing who the parents of Irby W. Thompson were. He is listed in the 1860 Census for Bradley County, Tn. His wife was Polly. He lived close to Richard and Martha Thompson. Irby was also in the Civil War on the Confederate side. He was with Rowan's 62nd. Mounted. There was also a William Thompson in the 62nd. Mounted with Irby. Was he Irby's brother? Could William have been the Richard shown in the 1860 Census living close to Irby and his first name was William rather than Richard? Any help will be appreciated. Can't find Irby on the 1870 census so he must have been killed during the war. Can't find Richard on the 1870 census either. Wanda Ingram
