There is not a single Google hit for this claimed building, nor does a search for the text find anything. Given that there are no sources, looks made up Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:35, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
At this point I'm done with the article. It can stay how it is. I'm not writing another, and I'm not going to be editing this one.

I have an article from the Aledo Weekly Record of September 23rd 1862 that discusses the house being in it's final stages of being constructed. Unfortunately this is not available in any electronic source, so I just have that as a print out. You can sure cite this, but I cannot provide it to you.

The History of Mercer and Henderson Counties
[1] shows Thompson moving into a "very fine residence" in 1857, then leaving for California possibly due to unhappy investors ("many anathemas were showered upon his head") in a railroad deal. All must have been forgiven though as he apparently came back and built your house but the History of Mercer and Henderson Counties book unfortunately doesn't mention it.

You looked at the wrong Thompson. Judge John Thompson was James S. Thompson's brother. It was JOHN and NOT James that had a fine residence in 1857. James S. Thompson built my home in 1862 as I mentioned. I know these two families inside and out. Josys36 ( talk) 20:42, 12 February 2015 (UTC)Jason
