Note*  "John Thompson & Mary, his wife, both came from Penn to Ohio to Guernsey Co. When he died, he left his farm to his son Mitchell for the purpose of caring for his widow Mary & his daughter Easter who was an invalid. Mrs Boyd remembers her grandmother Mary Thompson who was a decided firm worman, a large fat woman, but very short, being able to stand under Mrs Boyd's arm. She does not remember her grandfather, but says her grandmother didn't die until after 1854 when her father Robert came to Illinois. They are both buried in the Union Cem at Fairview O which is on the National Road 12 miles east of Old Washington O & just at the east edge of Fairview O is the dividing line between Guernsey & Belmont Cos O & Mrs B is sure her Uncle Mitchell's farm was in Belmont Co and was 2 miles from Fairview & her father's farm 3/4 of a mile from Fairview was in Guernsey Co. She cannot understand why they were not buried in the Presbyterian g.y. but says that she thinks there are markers to their graves as her Uncle Mitchell's son, Hugh Thompson, saw their graves once when he was back on a visti. Mrs Boyd knows nothing of their family Bible. I think it would go to Mitchell."2
