William F. THOMPSON
Emily Marian GRANT

WARNING: Some secondary sources are confusing our subject with William Fenimore THOMPSON (1818-1910). This is a different person.

Husband: William F. THOMPSON
Birth: 1818/9, Dixon Twp., Preble Co., OH
Death said to be: 1857
Occupation: farmer
Father: Squire THOMPSON
Mother: Charity FLOREA

Marriage: 15 Aug 1844, Cass Co., MI

Wife: Emily Marion / Marian GRANT
Birth: 1827/8, OH
Occupation: homemaker

Children — born in Pokagon Twp., Cass Co., MI:

1. Emily L. THOMPSON, b. 24 Aug 1848
2. (Son) THOMPSON, b. Jul 1850; d. 4 Oct 1850
3. Miriam E. THOMPSON, b. 24 Dec 1851; d. 11 Sep 1852; bur. Sumnerville Cemetery, Pokagon Twp., Cass Co., MI

Numerous secondary sources show Emily as having died the same day as her sister, Miriam. While this is possible (e.g., when a contagious disease sweeps through the family), it seems to me that if Emily had died the same day as Miriam, she would have been buried in the Sumnerville Cemetery either with or next to her sister, which seems not to be the case.
