I haven't been able to find any info at all on the Thompson that Louisa Rorax was married to. The William Rorax living with her in 1850 is her half brother, and brother to Nancy. Louisa married William Thompson in 1845 in Lincoln Co., but that's all I know right now. I believe he also had a brother, David...David and William's mother was Anna(Elizabeth)Thompson born in NC in 1784. I plan to go to the Fayetteville courthouse later this week, and I hope to be able to get more info on the Thompsons. I will take the info you gave me also and check for you.
