Albert or Oscar Buice-Approx 1885-1900
My father, Charles Jackson Thompson, Jr., was born 10 Aug 1891.He often referred to these two relatives.I do not know, but believe that they were his first cousins, and that they were about his age; somehow contact between the families was lost.
My Grandfather, Charles Jackson, Sr., (called “Jack” by the family), was born in Calhoun County, AL on 16 May 1851; the son of David Thompson, who was born in S.C. date unknown; and Jane Richey, born in Alabama about 1830, the daughter ofJohn T. Richey and Nancy Payne.My Grandfather had a brother, William, and two sisters, Amanda and Margaret.I believe that Amanda was born about 1850, and Margaret about 1853.I think, but do not know, that one of these aunts married a Buice.
My Fathers maternal line, which could be the connection, is as follows.Lucinda F. Smith, his mother, was born in Carroll County, GA., on 31 Dec 1853, to Gideon Smith and Mildred Barrow.I may not have all of their children, but there were two sons, Milton and John.There were five daughters, Louisa, b abt 1846; Elizabeth, b abt 1847; Mary Jane, born 3 mar 1849, (she married a Wells); Lucinda F.,(my Grandmother), born 31 Dec 1853; and Sarah A. b abt 1857.
I will greatly appreciate any information that anyone can add relating to these families.
