"Hancock Co. TN Chancery Court Losse Records; Film Roll B-1805", Frame 417: "Lewis and Sarah Thompson vs. David J. Gilbert", dated Oct. 17, 1870. Excerpts: Lewis and Sarah Thompson bought house and ground near Mulberry Gap for $500 from DJ Gilbert. They used part of the Real Estate of her father James Gilbert, dec'd. This took place in Nov. 1859. DJ Gilbert now resides in VA. Also, I have written down an 1870 census abstract Lee Co. VA, White Shoals twp. 366-366: Thompson, Steven 44 Farmer, $3600, $300, b. Lee Co. VA; Nervesty J. aged 35 b. Claiborne co. TN; Jenni(?) R., b Lee Co. VA; Elvis (?) aged 15 b. Lee Co. VA; Dudley aged 13, b Lee co. VA; Josephine aged 10, b Hancock Co. TN; Bemley (?) aged 7, b. Lee Co. VA; Elizabeth aged 73, b. Claiborne Co. TN. I was curious how Steven Thompson fits into your Thompson family. One reason is that I've seen his name around the area of my Bakers...the other is that my Baker's and related families named dau's Josephine...and I see that name is used in this family too.
