Autobiography and Historical Rememberances. John W. Wilkinson (second husband of wife). Dates of birth and death and location of death. (As cited by descendant Debbie Wilkinson.) Note that William was enumerated twice in the 1850 census, making it unlikely that he died in 1849. Wilkinson gave 16 May 1839 as the marriage date for William Thompson and Elizabeth Jones.
