• 1865 NYS Census:

New Info May 2018 saw Elijah's will and proofs on Ancestry.... Charles and Ralph Thompson said they were kin and heirs, living in Otselic, Chenango County, NY. So I looked them up on Ancestry and found them... Charles' wife was Harriet, born about 1822 in Otsego County, NY, which fits well for Elijah's daughter, so I guess we have another part of the puzzle, a Thompson branch:

1865 Census is ruined, but readable, part of it burned on the left side of the pages, but enough is readable for this work:
