Martha Thompson^[1]

1846 - 1940  (93 years)

• Name	Martha Thompson
  Born	29 Oct 1846	Greenport, Southold, Suffolk, NY   [1]
  Gender	Female
  Died	24 Feb 1940	Patchogue, Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [1]
  Buried	Patchogue (Cedar Grove Cemetery), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [2]
  Notes	Thomas Davidson at Rootsweb comments: Family tradition said that Martha Thompson was an orphan from Greenport. When I couldn't find her listed in Greenport census records, a friend tried Patchogue, where she appears to have been living. Martha Thompson may be the daughter of Phebe and James Thompson. They are listed as living in Patchogue in the 1850 census with a 4 yr. old daughter named "Martha". Other children include Mary S. 15, Alice 11, Phebe 9, Euphemia 6, and a brother James 2. In the 1860 census there is no Phebe or James listed (suggesting they died, leaving Martha an orphan as was told in family tradition). A 14 yr. old Martha is listed as living with the Ruland family in Islip as a "servant" and a Jane Thompson is listed as a 16 yr. old "domestic" with the Moses Swezey family. The siblings don't exactly match up with names handed down through family tradition. Aunt Tinny (Madalyn Boddy Warnke) told me that Martha's siblings were "Will, Addie, Alice, and Janie." While both agree with the name "Alice", a birth document for a James Thompson lists a "James William" as the son of Phoebe and James. Perhaps he was known as "Will" among the family. Also, a 6 yr. old Euphemia may have chosen the more common "Jane". That just leaves a mystery about "Mary S." and "Phebe". Could one of them be Addie?
