Research Note
Dr. Geoffrey A Thompson has this William associated with the parents, William Thompson and Elizabeth Norwood. However, this couple already has a son named William who was born about 8 months prior to William Alexanderia. Only one William shows up with the family in the 1870 census.
William Alexandria Thompson married Laura Britt. None of their children have any names which are commonly used in William and Elizabeth Thompson's family line (other than William).
Therefore, I do not believe he is William and Elizabeth's son, and will detach him until there is definitive proof.
