Jane, this is what I found today. These pages are really hard to read so you might want to take a look at these for yourself. 1880 Bell County Texas pg 388 266 264 Thompson, John A W M 26 Married Farmer TX TENN MISS Nancy A W F 26 Wife TENN TENN TENN Willie B W F 6 Daughter TX TX TENN Andrew W M 4 Son TX TX TENN Robt P W M 2 Son TX TX TENN John (T or L) W M 72 Father TENN TENN TENN 1880 Bell County Texas pg 395 382 383 Thompson, C. L. W M 62 Married Farmer (Can't Read) E. W F 47 Wife Chales (has a mark between the a and the l--maybe missing the "r")?? W M 12 Son Boarder - Can't read the name Boarder - Can't read the name Thompson, John ? W M 21 Son Farmer Mary ? W F 17 Blank This last one is a mess...I really can't read the states of birth...it would be a pure guess on my part...Sorry. Maybe some other library has a better copy than the ones we have. I also have an index that shows a John Thompson on pages 341, 256, 425, and 344...in the 1880 Bell County Census. I will try and remember to take a look at these next time I am digging in the census records. Thanks...
