Hi Ed,

Have you found his parents on the 1880 Federal Census yet? Do you know if he had any siblings?

Thank you again

Yes I have the 1880 census for Cynthia but Charles Frederick was born in 1881 (12 in 1894 +/-). In 1880 Cynthia was still living with her parents Ennis Slusser Thompson and Elmyra Thomspon. This family is very well dcoumented.

However, Charles Frederick's paternity is a mystery. Cynthia may not have married and I don't think she obtained a birth certificate.

I have been to VA archives and Library in Richmond and looked through every record I could find.

Thanks for your interest but I think this is a dead end.
