Noticed the interest in Thompson and Rorax. My Esther (Eliza) Angeline Thompson married Joseph Allison in Franklin co. in 1854. They lived in Lincoln co. Joseph was much older than Eliza and he died by 1860. Eliza was a widow age 23 living alone in the 1860 LCT census and married neighbor William P. Holman in 1861. William Pearson Holman was first married to Nancy Rorax who died after the 1860 census and before Sept. of 1861 when he married Eliza Thompson Allison. Looking for information on this Eliza Thompson. She was just 19 or 20 when she married the much older Joseph Allison in Franklin co. Eliza was born in NC. Susan Holman Dallas disdsh@aol.com
