Biographical Note
Jacob Thompson: Jacob Thompson was born in Leasburg, North Carolina in 1810 and graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1831. He was admitted to the bar in 1834 and opened a law practice in Pontotoc, Mississippi. In 1839, voters elected Thompson to the U.S. House of Representatives where he remained until 1851 when he lost a reelection contest.
President James Buchanan appointed Thompson U.S. Secretary of the Interior in 1857. He resigned from the office in January 1861 to become Inspector General of the Confederate States Army. Later, he joined the army as an officer, served as an aide to General P.G.T. Beauregard, and rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel. Thompson was present at the battles of Shiloh, Vicksburg, Corinth, and Tupelo.
In 1864, President Jefferson Davis asked Thompson to head a secret delegation to Canada where he appears to have led Confederate Secret Service operations. Thompson’s name arises in connection to many anti-Union plots and allegations of involvement with Abraham Lincoln’s assassin John Wilkes Booth. After the Civil War, Thompson fled for while to England and Canada, eventually returning to Memphis, Tennessee to manage his holdings. He served on the board of the University of the South at Sewanee. Thompson died on 24 March 1885 and is buried in Memphis at Elmwood Cemetery.
Carolyn Jones Ross: Carolyn Jones Ross was born on 18 March 2014 to parents L. Bruce Jones and Mary Jones of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She earned bachelor and master degrees from Louisiana State University and a Ph.D. from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. A speech-language pathologist, Dr. Ross worked in Iberville Parish, Louisiana public schools, and Louisiana State University Medical School before entering private practice in New Orleans. She was an early pioneer in the use of Cued Speech, a phoneme-based system of hand shapes and positions that clarifies ongoing speech.
In addition to her professional career, Dr. Ross performed community service, especially in the field of arts and heritage. She participated in the New Orleans Symphony Chorus and served on the board of the Symphony Volunteers Inc. For over a quarter century, Dr. Ross was a volunteer reader for WRBH-FM’s Radio Reading Service. The recipient of many New Orleans honors, she received a Special Certificate of Appreciation from the mayor in 1987.
After the death of her husband Raphael Ross Jr, M.D., she moved to Oxford, Mississippi. Dr. Ross served on the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council board and the Oxford-Lafayette Heritage Foundation board. She researched the life of Oxford resident and politician Jacob Thompson (1810-1885) with the intent of writing a biography but died away on 18 March 2014 before completing the project. Prior to her passing, her research helped to develop the historic marker at the Jacob Thompson Home Place site as well as interpretive materials at the L.Q.C. Lamar House.
Scope and Content
The collection contains Dr. Ross’s research files on Jacob Thompson. The archive has preserved the original folders and labels (although the container list spells out abbreviations). The files are arranged into four series. Series 1 preserves the integrity of a section of Dr. Ross’s files that reflect the chronological sequence of Thompson’s life. Series 2 (letter size folders) and Series 3 (legal size folders) are subject files on Thompson (as well as three folders on the Oxford, Mississippi African American Rosenwald school historic marker project). Series 4 holds drafts of her book manuscript on Thompson.
