Sarah Ashby, 5, F, born in Wisconsin
Joel C. Ashby, 4, M, born in Wisconsin
Helen Ashby, 2, F, born in Wisconsin
Catharine Ashby, 8/12, F, born in Michigan
A family oral tradition indicates that Thompson was killed by a run-away horse in Ahnapee (now Algoma, Kewaunee County), Wisconsin, when his son Joel C. Ashby was five or six years old [which would make it about 1851]. Source: "Blessed with this family!" page 204.
The widow Barintha Carrington Ashby married second, Thomas H. Bacon, 12 May, 1860. Source: Wisconsin, County Marriages, 1836-1911. Thomas Bacon died 8 May, 1861, being the first recorded murder victim in Kewaunee County, Wisconsin, leaving a wife and seven-month-old daughter. Source: the Algoma Record Herald, 19 August, 1910.
