Comments by great great grandson, Jack Thompson:
"My great grandfather fought in the Seminole Indian War in Florida. Homesteaded 640 acres of land in Champion City which he received from the government for serving in the war. He is buried in a one-acre cemetery that is for family use only. I found most of the old land papers in the Union Court House, Union, MO. I also have his marriage license. Records from the veterans archives regiment files say he was in the war from 6 Jun 1841 to 11 Sept 1843, in infantry Company I, 3rd Regiment. Bounty Land File is Warranty No. 11040, Act of 50-160 NF 11046 as private under Captain John B.Clark. I also have his discharge papers. They say he was discharged honorably on a surgeons certificate of ordinary disability at the age of 27. He passed away at the age of 51 with measles and is buried in the Champion City Little Creek Cemetery. The early census says he was a farmer, and the later census says he was a school teacher. He did sell some land to the State for the Little Creek School where he taught. I have his picture in his uniform with his wife Angeline."
