Misc. Notes
Albert was listed on the White School District No. 29 roll as a student in Green County, Kentucky in 1894. He resided in Gatton, LaRue County, Kentucky in 1931.
In the 1920 Green County Census, Upper Brush Creek near Wards, Albert Thompson is head of household #226. He was 34 years of age and his wife, Lucy was also 34. The children in the family are: Francis, 6; and Glendavis, 3-10/12 years of age. The census notes that Lucy is born in Kentucky. However, I have heard other reports that she was born in England. Albert is living next door to his widowed mother, Mary A. Thompson, age 81, who is living with her grandson, Hubbard, age 16. (I believe his is really Herbert Thompson, not Hubbard).
