| Notes |
I found on the 1880 Soundex in Christian County, Finley
TWP(township), Missouri there was a John Thompson 31 years of age and
born in Kentucky.
John's wife was Lidia A. and 29 years old and born in Missouri. Their
children included a son, James Thompson 6 years old born in Missouri, A
daughter Maggie E., 3 years old and born in Missouri and a daughter,
Martha J. one month old born in May of 1880. This Census was done on the
2nd and 3rd day of June. The Emunerater was a James R. Bell. Vol. 8 , E D
10, Sheet ,and line 43.
Why I believe this to be Janie's family is because her father was
born in Kentucky , mother Missouri, a brother named James and in her
scrap book she has a picture of a headstone that states Maggie E. , wife
of George Hooper. The baby's name was Martha J. Could this middle name be
Janie and she did not go by Martha. ( I did find out from Robert Atkins,
cousin to my mother and grandson of Janie Thompson Atkins, that Janie's
first name was indeed Martha. ) Christian County, Green County, Webester
County are all close to each other.
I found in the library at the Oklahoma Historical building a book
called Records Of Christian County, Missouri. On Page 30 it had the
marriage record of a John Thompson and a Lidia A. Enis on December 10,
1872 by Tho. Hanks M. G. In the same book on page ( ? ) I found a Will
of David Lay of Christian County, Missouri.
Will wr. 25 February 1879
Prob. 22 April 1879
Wit: Thomas Hanks and L. H. Smith
Exec. Thomas Hanks
Heirs John and Lydia Thompson to in herit
everything if they take care of me for the rest of my life.
( this was found in the Will Book AB on page 6 )

When Janie (Thompson) Atkins passed away she left a scrap book
underneath her house which was found by a grandson, Charles G. Atkins.
In the scrap book were memories of Janies with some old pictures, cards,
letters.
In Janie's scrap book she had a picture of John Thompson (her
father), Russell Thompson(John's brother), and Jim Thompson (John's
brother).she had written under the picture that the picture was made
during one of Uncle Russells visits to Missouri at Uncle Jim's house.
Inez Thompson was married on this day. Uncle Russell was a conductor on
railroad out of Louisville for 57 years. He went to work on the road as
breakman at the age of 17 on the 17day of the month. He retired on the
17th day of the month at the age of 77 years. My father was a Civil war
Soldier. He was in actual battle twice. In prison hunted once by blood
hounds. Uncle Jim was too young. He was a farmer living near Palmetto.
My mother is Constance Louise Atkins. Her father was Dr. James
Albert Atkins. His parents were Dr. William Arthur Atkins and Janie
Thompson. My Mother was not very close to her grandmother Janie Thompson
in fact at first I don't think she knew her last name was once Thompson.
This was not out of lack of love but just the way the Atkins are. My
mother's Cousin Robert Atkins and his family actually lived with Janie
for quite a few years in Rogersville during the depression. It has been
through Robert that I really feel like I got to know Janie Thompson the
person. All through Janie's scrapbook her friends stated how much they
loved her. One friend had written her a poem and a song. She must have
truely been a very warm loving person.
I'll give you a little of what I know and a lot of what I don't know.
When Janie was a child her mother passed away. Her father, John Thompson
was unable to care for the children and farmed them out to other
families. Robert Atkins told me that Janie being a girl could not help on
the farm like a older boy or younger man. Janie was sent to live the
Estes.(William S. and Elizabeth E. Estes) Janie became very attached to
the Estes and always kept in touch with them and their children. In fact
Janie called them Mother and Father Estes. Janie took care of mother
Estes her last years like a daughter would.
I had all these pictures and names but nothing to go by. Robert
Atkins knew very little of Janie's family. I've just kind of been
pieceing things along the way and a little educated guess now and then. I
'll try to show proof or least why I have come to some of my conclusions.
**************************************************************************
*********
On July 21, 1996 Robert Atkins called to let me know that Charles
Atkins, his brother stated that Janie's father John Thompson is burried
at John's Cemetery, Ash Grove, Green County, Missouri. Ash Grove is North
West of Springfield, Missouri. Ash Grove is pretty close to the border of
Dade County also.

On September 9, 1996 I received in the mail from the Missouri
Department Of Health Janie's Death certificate. It stated that Janies
mother's name was Ludy Lay??????????The information was given by Glen
Atkins. I have so many places where it states her name was Lidia A. Maybe
someone misspelled the name. Janie's mother died when she was a young
child, maybe somehow the name was mistaken. I'll just have to do some
more research and bear in mind that her name may not be Lidia. I do see
how an " I " and an " u " could easily be mistaken for each other, but
Enis and Lay???? If Glen was very upset at the time and he gave her name
as Ludy and or stated A. ( being her middle name which may be mistaken
for the name Lay.)
The man that left a will to Lidia and John was a David Lay. Was this
her father or maybe a stepfather. This would explain the name difference.
I need to check out the Missouri Census 1860 and 1870 for a David Lay and
see if I see Lidia there.

On November 20, 1996 at the LDS on North 63rd in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
I got a film in of Cemetery Records of Missouri, film #0873787 and
#0873788. It had Johns Chapel Cemetery in Ash Grove, Green County
Missouri. It had :
1. John Thompson Company B, 12 Kentucky Inf. (did not give dates)
2. Deliah N. 1861 to 1947
3. Matthew Thompson December 1951 died December 10 1951
JOHNS CHAPEL CEMETERY 1880
Located 3 1/2 miles South of Ash Grove, Missouri 1/2 mile west of K
County Road.

When looking back on the Kentucky Census it seemed like I had his
family because his mother's name was Elizabeth and father's name was
Ephram, and his two brothers were there, but Johns birthday just was not
right. I knew if I went by the date on the 1880 Missouri Soundex for
Christian County it would have made John very young for the Civil War.
When Bobby Atkins, my mother's cousin told me that John was buried in Ash
Grove at John's Cemetery. I ordered some films at the LDS and found
John's Cemetery with John Thompson buried their, but with no date. John
did have a headstone that stated company B, 12th Kentucky INf. Next to
John was a Delila N. Thompson Born 1861 and died 1947. I took a chance
that this may be another wife since Lydia died when Janie was young.
On January 8, 1997 I went to the Historical building in OKC and
looked on the 1900 Missouri soundex and found John H. Married to a Delila
with some children in Greene County. ( I may add that Greene Co. and
Christian County are right next to each other and Rogersville is in both.)
