Thompson, Mary Greenfield, Samuel 12 May 1819 Gideon Thompson

This record is of the permission slip allowing an underage female to marry; Gideon is her father. (Either Cordelia Gray made a transcription error with the year or I made a mistake taking notes.)

Thompson, Mary & Samuel Greenfield 14 May 1817 15 May 1817 B.H. Reeves

The 14th is the date the bond was posted and the license obtained; the 15th is the date the wedding ceremony was performed, by B.H. Reeves.

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 9 or under 1810-1820 = James or Gideon

1 male 19-25* 1794-1801 = ?

1 male 26-44 1775-1794 = Samuel (b. 1791/3)

1 male 45 or over in or bef. 1775 = ?

1 female 9 or under 1810-1820 = Mary Jane

1 female 16-25 1794-1804 = Mary (b. 1800)

*In the 1820 Census, the third column is age class 16-18 and the fourth column is age class 16-25; therefore, any individual in column three is duplicated in column four. By subtracting the number in column three from the number in column four, you can create an age class "19-25."

3. 1830 Census. Can't find. Mary may be widowed at this point and living with some other family, but she's not living with her parents.
