Notes for Stephen Marion Thompson:
Stephen died from injuries received in a freak accident by a runaway mule and buggy. Death Certificate IN  34th militia district Thompson Bros Funeral Home. Residence Hunters Ga. Listed the father as Stephen Thompson, this verifies father's name.

In 1870 in Screven County ga there is listed a Tom Bragg as 21 and Melcia 28 I have narrowed this down to Thomas and Wethia assuming the person entering the info could not write or spelled the names different.
The son which shows as a female is really the male Stephen but spelled Seraff 4.5 years and George is really Georgia 9 years old. There are Jenkins and Braggs all around as neighbors so I truly believe this to be him.

Shows name as S.M. Thompson living with Wealthy and Thomas in 1880 Census. 15 years old

Stephen M Thompson 1920 census shows him living with his daughter Stella and Harry Bazemore in Screven County Ga.

Notes for Martha Louvenia Lariscy:
William Alberts death Certificate spells mother as Larisey. Marriage license spells as Larisy.

In the 1870 Census of Screven county found a Lougenia Laricey age 1 she should be age 6 or 7 if this is our Martha. Middle name I have spelled Louvenia.
Although age is wrong I believe this may be the same Martha parents show as Moses 27, Dicy 26 brother Solomon 3 Lucy 5, Isreal 3.
No positive proff.

In the 1880 census of Screven found a Martha last name spelled Larricy age 17 which is the correct age. Parents as written Wm. B. age 58 shows wife age 35 Francis, Harrit 30, Martha 17, Joel 15, Mary A. 12, Lener W. 10, Whitfield 5, Sarah A 3, family #202 Volumn1 page 98.
