Thomas is Isaac's father.  Isaac appears to have left his family back home — and, in so doing, managed to get himself enumerated twice.  Was he in California to provide medical services to Thomas's "flock"?  Or had he caught "gold fever"?

9.  Betty Cogliati sent me a photocopy of a page of what appear to be will abstracts of Mercer Co., MO (if anyone knows the full citation for this source, please let me know what it is).  On p. 88:
THOMPSON, ISAAC D., died intestate.  Admrx., Mary Jane Thompson. Sec., Wm. Reid & John (J.A.C.) Thompson. 10 Nov 1865. (A78-79)
The settlement of Isaac's estate took years because Isaac had so much property and so many creditors, not because of conflicts among the family.
