Joseph married Laura C. Devor (b. Oct 28, 1829) on 2 FEB 1845. He purchased plot of land in Edgefield District, became a plantation. Possible lead for father: James Thompson?
The book Broken Fortunes lists the date of death as 14 OCT 1862 at
Staunton, VA. There were no battles listed for this date, but a number
of Cavalry actions occurred during the week.
Joseph Ansel(my information has Adam) Thompson b 9 Mar 1830 and is the son
of John Theodeous and Eve Margaret Gable Thompson. The family Bible recorded
his marriage to L. C. Devor as 11 February 1849. I have only seen a
transcribed copy of the Bible of Narcissus Carolyn Thompson Frey. I can not
say if the Bible only had initials for the childrens names. Therefore, the
Ansel middle name may be correct.
John Thompson SR was owner of a 3 story wheat mill in Quebec Sweden. He also
dealt extensively in live stock, often sending his son to Denmark horse
trading. His son John Theododous was born 8 May 1793. He lived in Denmark
until 18. He wanted to marry but his parents objected, as her parents were
poor. He left home to live with an uncle who was captain of a ship. When
they landed in New York he stopped there, keeping books at the counting
house in New York. Later held the same job in Charleston SC keeping books
for Saluda Cotton Mills for 3 years. then for 6 years at Vaughlen Mills in
Lexington. He met Margaret Eve Gable and the were married 21 Jun 1825. He
came to US in 1813.
