NOTICE: a patrilineal descendant of our subject is participating in the THOMPSON Y-chromosome DNA Surname Project. Anyone who suspects he descends from our subject on a direct male line can support that connection with a DNA test. Please see this Haplogroup I1 results table to compare our subject with other Haplogroup I1 THOMPSONs.

Husband: Calvin THOMPSON
Birth said to be: 8 Apr 1787
Death apparently: 1820-30, York Twp., Athens Co., OH

One file at WorldConnect shows Calvin b. 8 Apr 1787 and Sarah b. 4 Feb 1768 and says the dates came from a family bible. I simply don't buy that Calvin married a woman 19 years his senior or that she had a child at the age of 53. So, has the bible been mis-read?

Marriage-1:

Wife-1: Ms. __?__

Marriage-2: 3 Mar 1811, Athens, Athens Co., OH

Wife-2: Sarah "Sally" __?__
Birth said to be: 4 Feb 1768
Other Spouse: Mr. SMITH

It is said that the marriage between Calvin and Sarah was a "marriage of convenience," in that each had children in need of support and care, which means SMITH may not have been Sarah's maiden name.

Children with Wife-1:

1. Richard M. THOMPSON, b. 1808/9, OH

Children with Sarah SMITH — born in York Twp., Athens Co., OH:

2. Elizabeth THOMPSON, b. 18 Mar 1812
3. William J. THOMPSON, b. ca. 1816
4. (Son A) THOMPSON, b. 1810-20
5. Julia Ann THOMPSON, b. 5 Apr 1821

I cannot reconcile this record with our subject's household. This Sarah would appear to be someone else's widow.
