NAME: Referred to as C.Y.Thompson when named as parent on children's marraige certificates. Y is for Young. Name is spelled "Catherine" on most records, but is spelled "Catharine" on her death certificate. Refferred to as "Caty" by husband Franklin Wagonner in letters [MM Beach].
MARRIAGE-PARENTS: Bland County Virginia Register of Marriages; 1861-1929; ; p 3; LDS microfilm #0030630 item 2; NOTES: Previously married to Franklin P.
Waggoner. Referred to as "C. Y. Wagoner" at the time of her marriage to David
Fleming Thompson. Parents are listed as "Jacob & Mary Muncy." Catherine brought three young children with her from her first marriage to her second marriage. Her marriage record lists her as 25 in 1866, but other sources confirm her birth as 25 Oct 1836, in particular her tombstone bears this date.PARENTS: Catherine is living with Jacob & Mary Muncy in the 1850 census.
Her parents are listed as Jacob & Mary Muncy on her marriage record. However,
her death certificate lists her mother's name as Catherine Young; but there is
no record of Jacob Munsey having married any Catherine Young.
The 1850 census shows there was a Catherine Young who was of child bearing age
(18 years) at the time of Catherine Young Munsey's birth, and who lived very
near Jacob Munsey during that time and during the 1850 census. If the death
certificate is correct, there is the strong possibility that this Catherine
Young, born 1818, daughter of Robert and Margaret Young of Giles County, was
the natural mother of Catherine Young Munsey. More details and analysis are
available from Brian Cragun, 2613 24 St NW, Rochester, MN 55901.

which may be more correct since he died from burns sustained when he crawled
into the fireplace.PARENTS-DEATH: Letter from Mary-Margaret Beach, Warrenton MO, to Brian Cragun,

Cragun. NOTES: Cites Mary Thompson Bryson, who was told by Catherine Young
Munsey Thompson personally about James David's death as a result of burns
sustained when he crawled into the fireplace. David was old enough to crawl but
apparently not old enough to walk. Catherine had left the two older girls,
Addie and Margaret, and David, asleep on the floor in the living room, while
she went down to the creek for water. During the interval David awakened and
crawled into the fire in the fireplace. He lived only a few hours. It was not
only a painful death for David, it was a painful memory for Catherine through
the years.

PARENT-SPOUSE-MARRIAGE: Wythe County Virginia Register of Marriages;
1790-1919; ; pg 6; LDS microfilm #0034254; NOTES: Lists parent as Joshua B.
Thompson. The fact that no mother is listed adds credibility that this Joshua Bruce Thompson is the correct parent. Joshua Bruce was a widow in 1856 at the time of Saphonia's marriage, Esther having died in 1848 and he
not remarrying until 1858.RESEARCH: Saphonia is likely, but not certainly, the same child as Sarah.
The years of their birth are the same. They are both documented children of
Joshua Bruce Thompson. Saphonia is not found on the 1850 census, and I have
found no marriage record for Sarah. Currently they are listed as separate.NAME: The marriage record reads Saphonia, but may be Sophronia. She may also go by Sarah (see 1850 census).

not clear. She is clearly the daughter of Joshua Bruce and Ester Smith
Thompson, but she is not listed in the 1850 census; perhaps she is the daughter
Sarah, who is exactly the same age.

Thompson, born near Point Pleasant, July 15, 1840, son of Joshua and Esther

Pleasant. Since Joshua Thompson only had one male child whose name started with "A" in the 1850 census, and since both A.N. and Albert are within 6 months of the same birth date, it is a reasonable conclusion that they are the same.
