James Albert Thompson and Mary Patience Barker

James Albert Thompson and Mary Patience Barker

Posted: 12 Mar 2015 6:55PM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Thompson, Keller, Fuller, Barker
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

I found a border crossing this afternoon, for year 1919 with Albert Thompson going to visit his daughter Delia Thompson in New York State:

Border Crossings: From Canada to U.S., 1895-1956

Name: Albert Thompson
Arrival Date: 29 Oct 1919
Port of Arrival: Cape Vincent, New York, USA
Age: 57 (age looks like 67 years on original document)
Birth Date: abt 1862
Birth Place: Ardendale, Canada
Birth Country: Canada
Gender: Male
Race/Nationality: Scottish (Scotish)
Record has photo?: No
Record Type: Cards

Going to see daughter Delia Thompson whose address is 356 University Avenue, Rochester, New York. Last address lived at was Wolfe Island, Canada. Contact in Canada is brother in law: Britton BARKER of Wolfe Island, Canada.

So why are there no records past 1901 in Canada for Albert and his family? If he lived on Wolfe Island, were there no census records taken there? no death records reported? Does anyone know any know about Delia Thompson living at Rochester, New York?

Thx again from Nora

Kim thank you for these last two marriages, these will help immensely. I tracked daughter Myrtle to Atlanta, Georgia with her husband where she had 3 daughters. One of Myrtle's desc. or a near relative has posted Myrtle's obit online and it gives some interesting info, though not everything true in it. I will work through all of that and the marriages and see what I can come up with. It is always a challenge when a whole family seems to disappear en masse and you can't find them. Are you related to this family somehow?

I am not related, but have been working on several Ontario Thompson families for the past several months, mostly from L & A County, Frontenac County, Hastings County.

Thx again from Nora

Hi Jamie- James Albert Thompson did NOT come from Ireland. He was born at Sheffield in Lennox and Addington County in 1858, the son of Samuel Thompson and Elizabeth/Betsy Keller or Kellar. Will write to you off this board.

Thx from Nora
