Misc. Notes
As of the 1850 census he was living in Hepburn Twp., with his brother Samuel. [701]

Moved to Sauk Co., WI, at least by 1855. [597]

In 1860 he was living “next door” to Thomas B. ALLEN Sr. [588]

Isaac’s various close associations with Thomas B. ALLEN (including the naming of Thomas’ son, Isaac Thompson ALLEN), suggest that Mrs. THOMPSON was in fact Thomas’ sister, a detail which appears confirmed in the death certificate of Isaac’s son, William J. THOMPSON. [3983]

Some time between 1880 and 1884, the family moved to Sisseton, Roberts Co., SD. [688]

He obtained 160 acres of homestead land in Day County, South Dakota, BLM Serial #: SDMTAA 106374, 14-OCT-1891. [1580]

Death was definitely before 18-JAN-1913 since Amy was a widow when she died. [698] But after 4-JUN-1900 (1900 Census). [688] Also believe it was before 20-APR-1910 (1910 Census) on the assumption that “Annie L. Thompson” in that census was actually Amy. [945]
