Pat, would lover to have this info. In the biographical Directory of the Tennessee General Assembly, 1796-1969 (Preliminary, No. 25) Williamson County, p. 47 is found the following, "Elijah Thompson 1803-1871 House, 23rd and 28th general Assemblies, 1839-41, 1849-51; Democrat, Williamson County; Whig during legislative terms; .......in brief....Born Campbell County, Virginia 5 July 1803; son of John Thompson; name of mother not found. (believe it was Keziah ___?). Attend Univeristy of Louisville, Ky....M.D. Degree etc.....First married 22 Oct. 1826 to Amelia Buford, daughter of Spencer and Elizabeth G. Buford of Wm. Co.; she died 12 Nov. 1840...no issue; Married second to Mary Ann Riley 4 May 1841, daughter of James and Susan (Sanford) Riley.....etc.....she died 1 Feb. 1863; children-Sefiro (1850 Census), James H., Alice J., Susan, John, Mary Emma, Mary, Michael, Sophia, and George; married third to Susan E. Elbeck 23 Sept. 1863.....no issue. Practiced medicine at Thompson's Station, Wm. co.; on of the incorporators of Nashville and Decatur RR.......Member and ruling elder of the Presbyterian Church....died 11 July 1871....buried on farm near thompson's Station". This history is very well published as well as Thompson's Station. Have never connected the Wm. Thompson (1850 census) with Elijah....don't believe they are of the same line, but I could be wrong.
