Notes:

Some family trees report a second marriage to another "Elizabeth," probably Elizabeth Easton. I have found a record of a marriage between one Napoleon B. Thompson and Elizabeth Easton in Jefferson County, Kentucky on 23 Dec 1866. I have found no plausible evidence of a second marriage. At the time of the above recorded marriage, Napoleon B Thompson and Sarah "Elizabeth" Barnes were both alive and recorded on the 1850 - 1880 Federal Census enumerations in Grant County, Kentucky. From Grant County, Kentucky to Jefferson County, Kentucky is roughly 100 miles and I find it highly unlikely that the Napoleon B Thompson of Jefferson County, KY is the same person as Napoleon B Thompson of Grant County, KY.

[Schimka.ged]

1910 Federal Census, Kentucky, Scott County, Stonewall Voting Precinct(Part of Magesterial District Number 6), for the family of Robert T. Thompson indicates that Napoleon Thompson was born in Virginia and that Elizabeth Barnes was born in Indiana. Robert Thompson's death certificate indicates that both Napoleon and Elizabeth were born in KY (the informant on the death certificate of Robert Thompson was Mrs. R. T. Thompson).

Buried:
Thompson and Skinner Cemetery
This cemetery is located in Grant County, about 2 miles on the left side of Denny Road when traveling from KY 36.

Note: I have not located this cemetery personally. I found the location in Volume III of Virgil Chandler Sr.'s book, Grant County Cemeteries. In addition to the directions in the book, I studied satellite imagery to come up with coordinates of what I "BELIEVE" is the cemetery.

Napoleon Sarah Elizabeth Barnes 15 Mar 1847Grant County, Kentucky. Sarah (daughter of Oliver Barnes and Mary Brown) 13 Nov 1829 Danville, Vermilion County, Illinois; 28 Aug 1878Grant County, Kentucky; 1878Grant County, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Guardianship: 12 Jun 1837, Grant County, Kentucky; Samuel Barnes appointed guardian to Elizabeth Barnes, infant heir of OLIVER BARNES, deceased, who thereupon executed and acknowledged bond in open court in the penalty of $60 with Jefferson Moore his security and took the oath as the law directs.

Notes:

Guardianship:
Samuel Barnes appointed guardian to Elizabeth
Barnes infant heir of Oliver Barnes decd. who
thereupon executed & acknowledged bond in open court in the
penalty of $60 with Jefferson Moore his security &
took the oath as the law directs.

The above was transcribed by David James Schimka, 23 March 2012 from a microfilm copy of the originals. I took the liberty of correcting a few misspellings but left the rest, word for word, line for line. I have attached a copy of the original document image. Above all else, this document connects the descendants of Elizabeth Barnes to her ancestors. Later, 08 March 1847, a marriage bond is made in Grant County, Kentucky and a marriage license was issued that day upon the sworn oath by the groom that he was of lawful age "and the consent of the Guardian of the within Lady [was] personally given".

Perhaps there are additional documents where her parents died in Illinois but I have not seen any yet.

About Jeremiah Chandler, the minister over the Thomas Thompson and Frances Robinson wedding.

He was born in Caroline County, VA in 1749. He later moved to Orange County, VA and was the minster for the North Pamunky Church and simultaneously was minister for the Piney Branch Church in Spotsylvania County, VA. Jeremiah Chandler was the minister of both churches for about forty years.


Other researchers specify a date of death in 1859 however, I have found Thomas T Thompson or T. T. Thompson on the 1850 and on the 1860 Census records in Cordova, Grant County, Kentucky where he is listed at age 72 which fits with the birth date found in other records and oral histories.


According to the NSDAR Record Copy application for Member Number M732521 (Roberta Denise Foster Korzenborn) pertaining to Ancestor Number A097441 (Francis Robinson), a Will exists for Thomas T. Thompson in the Grant County, Kentucky, Will Book F, pages 257-260.

There does not seem to be any reference to microfilmed copies of Will Book F so a copy of the Will may only be obtainable from the Grant County courthouse.

Other records related to the Will or Probate are to be found in other books that have been microfilmed as referenced and included with Thomas T. Thompson's record here.

Personal Property Taxation:
Not to be confused with the Thomas Thornton in this same image.

Personal Property Taxation:
Family tradition is that Thomas Thompson moved to Kentucky at the same time as his father-in-law but tax records suggest that Francis Robinson may have moved in 1817, as Francis stated in his Revolutionary War pension depositions, and that Thomas Thompson made the move in 1818 which is the last year that he appears in the Orange County, Virginia Personal Property Tax Lists.
