Maybe you can clear this up for me. Are these the same James and Lucy
Thompson from 1880 to 1900? If not it sure is coincidental that they
lived so close to each other, same name for spouses, birthdates, and
birthplaces.

think she told me her grandfather 's sister Lucy Blake married a James
M. Thompson.)

Dear Linda,
Finally getting around to write. I have very limited material for
Thompson family so I'm sending what I have.
You certainly sent lots of imformation and pictures are invaluable.
The Thompson's listed on the 1900 MO. Soundex are the same family
listed on the 1880 Christian Co., MO. Cencus.
Sarah (Sallie C. ) Brake is buried in Palmetto Cemetery. Legend has
it she wanted to be buried with her Granddaughter Marcy/Macy. Sarah's
husband, Axum Bennett Brake is buried in Union Grove Cemetery, Douglas
Co., Mo.
A Late distant cousin told me that Martha L. Brake, Sister of Lucy
Brake Thompson, married a Hooper but so far I haven't found a marriage
record for her. Our library doesn't have a very large material for Greene
Co., Mo and surrounding counties. They say we're too close to those
counties.
The Atkins surname is new to me so I have nothing for them. When I
ever get back to doing research I'll see what I can locate, although I
don't believe I will have much luck there.
I wrote to Alma Cooper, daughter of Doaley R. Thompson and she
stated she knew nothing about the family and wasn't interested in it. She
did give the following:

James M. Thompson was born August 9, 1851 and died December 15,
1927
Lucy was born March 1, 1855 and died September 1937
Both are buried in Palmetto Cemetery, Green County, Missouri

I wish I could be of more help to you.
My husband, Orlando, and I have 2 sons Michael and Paul and both
live out of state. We met in Kansas City he was going to school and I was
working as a secretary. He is from Pennsylvania. Iowa is my home state
although I have lived in Oregon since then. Dad became ill while we were
in Oregan and we came by and he only lived a few weeks: he died at age 55
in 1941 and mother died in 1961. There are five of us sisters living from
a family of 8 and we're scattered all over. This is a quick run down of
the family.
Much success to you and when and if I can locate anything further I
will send and it was very nice to talk with you.
Until next time, best wishes.

Virginia

I could not find Palmetto, Missouri in our Atlas. I decided this was
either A Ghost town or a town name changed. I just had to find out where
they were talking about. I went to the library at historical building and
found in the OZAR'KIN Vol. II, No. 3, Fall 1980 A DIRECTORY of TOWNS,
VILLAGES and HAMLETS PAST and PRESANT of GREENE COUNTY, MISSOURI (P-Y)

Compiled by Arthur Paul Moser

PALMETTO:
Palmetto, at one time, was a thriving community. It consisted of stores,
a post-office, a school, and several dwellings. When Logan-Rogersville
School Consolidated District was formed, eight school districts,
including Palmetto were merged. The post-office was discontinued and mail
was via Springfield. In 1963, only the cemetery remained; a few people
lived nearby.
---Rand, McNally, 1919: talk with Mrs Fred Austin. It was situated at
Sec. 11, Twp. 28 N, Range 20 West, south of Highway D, on the first road
east of 125 near Webester C. line.

In July of 1996 I visited Palmetto Cemetery. It is located on
Highway 60 west of Rogersville and east of Springfield.You turn on a farm
road 243 ( they are all labled ) North and keep going till you hit the
railroad tracks. There is no town anymore but a farm house is near by.
The cemetery says Palmetto Cemetery. I did forget to look for Sarah
"Sally Brake. I did jot down some other headstones that I thought might
be relatives for future referances.

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.)
