My 4th great grandfather owned 365 acres on Thompson Creek at one time and sold it off in chunks. . One big chunk was sold to Joseph Yates & Mary Lester. Joseph Yates died in 1854 and Mary Lester remarried to a John Huffman. I believe my grandfather is buried on his property somewhere and I was just curious as to where it actually might be on Thompson Creek. One clue I have is that one 65 acre tract that my grandfather owned was adjacent to McKinney Branch. That's where my grandfather's son Jeremiah Compton Jr. was living in 1850. He then sold his part in 1851 to Dave Snyder. That's about all I know.
