Thompson, born somewhere in Kentucky around 1829 and married Lucy Wilson, possibly in Owen Co, KY, around 1850. I have not located George in 1850 and I know nothing about his parents. In a later census, he is shown as "Wash" Thompson, so his middle name *might* have been Washington, but... George & Lucy appear in Pike Co, IL and in Daviess Co., KY and then Lucy is back in Owen/Scott Co.,KY before her death there of consumption. No idea what happened to George. Since your post contains several of my key words - Thompson, George, and Wilson - I thought I'd ask. Thanks, Doug Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
