George's mother was born in KY, not VA; Lou's mother was born in MO, not CA.  George W. THOMPSON is Margarett's second husband; she and George had no children together.  Lou is George's child with his first wife, Delilah McCRAY.  Emma, John, and Samuel are Margaret's children with our subject (i.e., they're George's step-children).  Ray and William are Emma's children with her late husband, Michael RADY (i.e., they are Margaret's grandchildren, not George's).

Margaret Elizabeth (GIBSON) ROSE THOMPSON, born 7 December 1838, Arkansas, died 26 June 1931, Alameda, California, daughter of Joseph GIBSON of Madison County, Arkansas.  She married William Jefferson ROSE of Lauderdale County, Alabama in 1854 in Madison County, Arkansas and two years later they crossed the plains to California by wagon train with their little daughter Nancy.  The fascinating trip was dictated by her many years later and preserved by her daughter.  The first winter they lost their little daughter in what was then known as Fiddletown in the gold country.  They left that area and roamed up and down the Sierra Mountains while he sought gold, until his untimely death in 1879, leaving a large family.  She married again in 1885 in Monterey County, California to George Washington THOMPSON.  (Great-grandmother of Seymour T. ROSE.)

Margaret grew up in Arkansas, but she was born in Tennessee.  Seymour ROSE and his wife, Christine, are owners of the Rose Family Bulletin.  George Washington THOMPSON is my GG-grandfather.
