Does anyone know what happened to James Albert Thompson born abt 1858, his wife Mary Patience Barker and their six children? Last found on 1901 census at Kennebec, Ontario. James was the son of Samuel Thompson and Betsy Keller, Patience was the d/of Samuel Barker and his first wife Lavinia Fuller. Known children for James and Patience- Marshall born 1887, Leveret??? born 1889, Sherman born 1892, Myrtle Helene about 1894, Gladys 1898, Delia Blanche, 1901.
A few people have posted that son Sherman Thompson died at Bedford, Ontario in 1896, but that cannot be true- Sherman was on the 1901 census with his parents and I believe I found him on draft papers for World War One living in Oswego County, New York State. The dob matches but is out 2 years and place of birth given as Kennebec, Canada. I have hunted high and low for each family member and for all of them together in Canada and the USA and found nothing.
Any help greatly appreciated, thx from Nora
