Thompson, Windham Co., CT, USA, Bowen: Apr. 4, 179?; JWH: 1822^4,5,6

Education

circa 1815

Harvard Medical School, Cambridge, Middlesex Co., MA, USA⁷

Death

Mobile, AL, USA⁴

Biography

JWH:"Graduated in Medical College, practiced in Mobile, Ala., died unmarried."^4,8

Research

JWH gives Mary as mother of Ephraim, but dates are incompatible⁴

Problem

JWH reports that Ephraim had a son Ephraim born in 1822 who went to medical college and practiced in Mobile, AL and died unmarried but this may be an error as there is no Ephraim in father’s will.¹

Research

Only JWH & MLM give this parentage^2,1
