Hi to all interested in Thomas Compton of Baltimore,
Here in Vicksburg, MS we have "Thomas Jackson Compton, born Baltimore, died 2 February 1866" buried in our Compton lot.According to our family stories, he was a cousin visiting here and became ill with "swamp fever" while spending time at one of the family plantations.Our family records show that his father was Thomas Compton, born 1774, died 1834, married Eliza Jackson.Thomas Jackson Compton would have been visiting his cousin, my great grandfather, Thomas Wilbur Compton of Vicksburg who also died the next year of "swamp fever".
