Re: Thompsons of Arkansas

Mary, Thank you for all of the information you sent. You have really spent a lot of time on this. I looked over the Madison County 1900 census. It is the William I am looking for. It appears that the person taking the census thought that Mattie,Fields and Vernon were Centha's children since he wrote Illinois,her birth place, as the kids'mother birthplace. The mother of all of the children was Arevy Waggoner, born in Tennesse and died 1889 in Caldwell County, Texas, according to probate records. The Texas 1880 census lists Sarah Elizabeth as 2mo old, Flora as 2years and Mattie as 4years.Thanks again for your help.
