Surnames: Thompson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2hB.2ACI/104 Message Board Post: Hi, I recently received Civil War Pension Records from the National Archives which indicate that one family member lived in the town of Buttsville, Meigs Co TN. From recent maps, it appears that this town (with its rather unfortunate name!) no longer exists. Can anyone give me more information on where the town of Buttsville was, and what census district it was in? I suspect this family member may have been there in 1870 census.
