Notes for WILLIAM THOMPSON:
William married twice. His first wife was Maryan Borsun? He never claimed her child, John B. Thompson. He disappears from the family following his mother's death and is not named in the will. The family story is that William believed this child to be illegitimate and sent him to live with his mother's family following her death.

William served in the 3rd Georgia Cavalry, Company G, under Capt. Collins. On May 12, 1862 he enlisted for 3 years at Calhoun, GA. On Oct. 31, 1862 the muster rolls report that he was taken prisoner on Sep.20, 1862 in Kentucky. The muster rolls for Dec. 1863 report that he was sick in Georgia.

According to Mama Lila, he was very wealthy. She said he purchased a home for each of his children upon their marriage and there is a photo of a very fine house which Lila says she was born in. She also said he owned many slaves but I do not find him listed as a slave-owner on Pickens County slave schedules.
