There was a Sarah Thompson who married both Marion Wafford and Elmer Calvin; whether or not she is our Sarah Thompson, daughter of Samuel & Sarah Stafford Thompson, is uncertain. She is the right age, and in the right place...Her age in 1850 was 2, in 1860 13. Sarah Wafford's age is given as 24 in 1870. Sarah Calvin's age was 35 in 1880, 55 in 1900, with her birth recorded as May 1845, and she was 65 in 1910. This gives us a range of 1845-1848...not unusual for the census.
However, Samuel Thompson was born in Pennsylvania, Sarah Stafford in Ohio; Sarah Thompson Wafford Calvin always states that both her parents were born in Ohio...again, not surprising for the census.
PS. A little more research shows that there was a Sarah Thompson, born 1845, daughter of Abraham & Elizabeth Thompson, in Bartholomew County, at the same time as ours. She also had a brother George, born 1857, with whom we find Frank Wafford living in 1930.
Neither is our Sarah the same as Ellen Thompson who married Lewis Macke..
.Ellen Rue Thompson was the daughter of Wesley & Christina Thompson of Virginia.
