Jane, your post of June 2000 referenced the descendants of Melville Jeter,Sr. specifically the family of Edmund. Edmund had a younger sister Julia. She married Samuel Thompson and Samuel and Julia are listed in the 1860 Panola County, Texas census with a 5 year old daughter Eliza. Court records in Panola County,Texas in 1867 refer to the "two minor children of Samuel Thompson, deceased". (Living in Upsher County. Melville and Mary Ann Jeter were listed in the 1860 Upsher County Census). Melville and Mary are in the 1870 Smith County Census and 8 year old Francis Thompson is living in the household with them. This is obviously one of the two minor children of Samuel Thompson, deceased. Eliza is not in the household and we have not been able to find anymore information on Eliza or Francis. Also, we have not been able to determine what happened to Samuel and Julia. Do you have any information on Melville and Mary Jeter's daughter Julia and her husband Samuel Thompson and children, Eliza and Francis? We would appreciate hearing from you.
