- George Thompson went into the mercantile business at Ironton, Ohio and later at Rockport, Kentucky and then later at Portsmouth, Ohio.
Excerpt from Autobiography of Isaac Newton Bassett
My Aunt Sarah was married to Mathew Thomson and settled on a farm just west of my father's adjoining it and extending to Kinniconick west. The Thompson family was an old Virginia family. There were, besides Matthew, four brothers, John, William, Alexander and Milton, all who lived not far from my father's in Kentucky. My Aunt Sarah had a very large family.
George, the youngest son and child of Aunt Sarah went into the mercantile business at Ironton, Ohio, afterwards at Rockport, KY and later at Portsmouth, Ohio. I think he is yet alive and doing business in Portsmouth. (He died in 1895.) He married a Miss Rowley of Vanceburg KY and she is living at Chillicothe, IL, with several children. (This I have just learned in the year 1898 from his sister Ann Garland.)
