Andrew moved to Wabash Co, IL by the 1850 census. In 1850 he married Harriet Degan,
daughter of Henry Degan and Jane Lovellette. Andrew and Harriet both disappear by the 1860
census, leaving Laura Thompson, b 1854 and Henry R. Thompson, b 1852.
There are SO MANY Thompsons in Jackson County that I am hoping he is related to one of
those Thompsons! In the 1840 Fed Census there was an Andrew Thompson and a wife of the
right age group who could be my Andrew. Perhaps Andrew was widowed prior to 1850 and
married Harriet Degan as a second wife. Andrew has been my brick wall for a couple years
now.
I believe one of Harriet's sisters married a Wheeler.
