Note: The pamphlet for the Mission City Memorial Park cemetery shows Charles THOMPSON (1880-1971) as the son of our subjects's brother, Isaac THOMPSON. The census records do not support this connection. Please contact the cemetery and request this error be corrected in the online document now — also, that it be corrected if the pamphet is ever re-printed.

1. Marriage Record:

2. 1860 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com): can't find, not with any certainty (both parents are now deceased, so the children have scattered). There is a Frank THOMPSON (æ 21, b. MO) boarding in Lassen Twp., Tehama Co., CA (p. 884), who may be our subject. If so, both the age and birthplace are off; however, it is a virtual certainty that our subject was not the informant for this record, and the information for hired hands is often incorrect.
