2. 1820 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #5 of 7; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤

1820 IL Washington Co. Covington Roll M33-12 p. 150 Ln. 36 John Thompson Jr. 100100-00100-0-100

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 9 or under 1810-1820 = John W. (b. ca. 1815)

1 male 19-25* 1794-1801 = John (b. 1793)

1 female 16-25 1794-1804 = Mary (b. 1795)

1 person engaged in agriculture

*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."

5. Census Microfilm Records: Illinois, 1850 (Broderbund CD-301): "Between Macoupin and Apple Creek," Greene Co., IL, p. 104, 1405/1418, enumerated 12 Dec 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

John Thompson, Jr.? 56 M Farmer 3170 VA

Mary      " 52 F KY

Peter     " 22 M Farmer IL

Malinda   " 19 F "

Adeline   " 13 F "

Elizabeth " 11 F "

Diana     " 9 F "

Warren    " 6 M "

William Thompson 83 M PA

Temperance " 82 F VA

The "Jr." is actually something of a blob; I think it's "Jr." Is Mary fibbing about her age? Said to be born 4 Jul 1795. William & Temperance are obviously John's parents.
