Although not directly listed in the memorandum book, William Thompson (William's father) purchased enough food rations for nine people.  According to New York passenger lists, the Thompson's traveled from Liverpool to New York aboard the Colorado, arriving 28 July 1868.

Birth date listed was found in a personal, online family history record (such as Family Tree, Ancestry, or My Heritage), without any accompanying documentation.  Further research is needed to verify its accuracy.
