REV. EDWIN HARLEIGH BROCKWAY is now a general farmer on a fertile tract of of
sixty-five acres, located on section 31, Alaiedon Township, Ingham County. (this
was next door to John Q Thompson Fidelia's brother). Mr. Brockway was married
August 24, 1855, to Miss Fidelia (Cordelia) S. Thompson, a daughter of (312)
Henry Thompson, and a sister of J. Q. Thompson, of Alaiedon.. In 1852 (the year
that their mother Lydia sold the home in Canandaigua) Mrs. Brockway came to
Mason.

6 November 1833 From Geneva Gazette
DIED - In Canandaigua, Henry Thompson, 37; If this death is Henry then there is
a problem with his childrens births,

DO not forget Henry could have traveled to Michigan in preparation for the
family move and died there or at some other location.
I am trying to piece together enough info either from history book biography's
or obituaries etc. of their children to pin point where Lydia or Henry were
born, and where Henry disappeared to. We believe he died between 1830 and 1840
in NY.

I also think Lydia's surname could be different than Colvin and at the moment I
do not remember why I question that.

Where is Lydia on the 1870 Census
Lydia died in 1871 and is buried in Mason MI
I would guess she was living with one of her children in 1870. I have
searched and searched and yet have not found her. I did find the death
certificate for her on one of my trips to michigan. Although she is NOT in the
Michigan Gendis index.

I am trying to piece together enough info either from history books biography's

1855 Marriage
Mr. Brockway was married August 24, 1855, to Miss Cordelia (FIDELIA) S.
THOMPSON, a daughter of (312) Henry Thompson, and a sister of J. Q. Thompson, of
Alaiedon. Two children have been the result of this union; Mary E., was born
April 24, 1858. She has marked ability in a musical direction and is a graduate
from the conservatory of Albion College, where she spent four years. She is now
very successfully engaged as a teacher of music. Ida who was born July 18, 1865,
is with her sister the life and light of the home. In 1852 Mrs. Brockway came to
Mason as an assistant teacher to a gentleman who had charge of the Mason
schools. In a short time the gentleman resigned in her favor. She had seventy
pupils and taught for $1.50 per week, boarding around in the district.

According to Mason First United Methodist Church Historians
In Aug. 1867 the local paper says "Mr. Brockway has served a term in state
Legislature and is a man of great ability."

THOMPSON Fidelia S. Wed 26 Feb 1913 1 4

A Pioneer Gone to Rest.Fidelia S. Thompson was born March 31 1830, in Ontario
county N.Y. She came to Michigan while a girl. Mrs. Brockway died Feb. 20th
1913. Had she lived until the 31st of next month she would have been 83 years
old. Her death came as the result of a fall a few days before. In early life
she laid the foundation for a noble and useful career. While yet a girl she was
converted and during the years that follwed she developed into a beautiful
christian character. In 1855, Rev. E. H. Brockway was the Junior Methodist
Preacher on the Mason charge. At that same time Miss Fidelia Thompson was the
Superintendent of the mason Public school. On August 24th of that year the
preacher and the teacher were joined in Holy Wedlock and the two leaders began
their 29 years of successful career in the ministry. In all these years Mrs.
Brockway was a helpmeet (helpmate?) indeed. Her heart was always full of love
for folks, and her hands were full of good deeds. She was unceasing in her
efforts to bless people wherever she went. She accompanied her husband a great
deal in his pastoral labors. Her fertile brain was full of plans for the
upbuilding of the kingdom. During the three years they lived in Albion to
educate their daughter, her husband preached in the neglected fields outside.
In Albion they not only educated their own daughter , but helped to educate many
other young men and women. Mrs. Brockway was a true mother to many. Their
house was full of students and many of these were financially helped when in
their school course. She has even now many sons in the gospel whom her hands
helped to bring to the day of their graduation.
