General Notes: Husband - Samuel Thomson


He followed farming in the Cumberland valley until 1854, when he removed to Fayetteville, in Franklin County, and assumed charge of the Fayetteville Ladies' seminary, of which he was principal until his death. He was a whig in politics, and an elder of the Reformed Presbyterian church, and a man of fine education, having studied under a celebrated private tutor. He also studied for some time with a view to entering the ministry, but afterwards was compelled to abandon his contemplated idea of a ministerial life.
