Isabella Jenkins Warren, daughter of Capt. Robert and Elizabeth Warren, was born at the village of Delhi (Radnor), in Delaware county, Ohio, December 9, 1818. In February 1841 she was married to John W. Thompson, of the same county. They lived on a farm a few miles west of Delaware, till 1856 when they removed to Madison county, Iowa, and settled on a farm a short distance northwest of Winterset. With one removal of but a short distance, they resided in the same neighborhood till her husband's death in 1883. After that, she remained about two years on the farm, since which time she traveled about considerably, visiting her children, but her permanent home was with her two unmarried sons, first in Buffalo county, Nebraska, then, after a short interruption, at Newton, Kansas.

Mrs. Thompson was the mother of five sons and four daughters. The oldest son and youngest daughter, died in early infancy. The youngest son - the youngest of the whole family - died at the age of six years. The oldest daughter, Mrs. Mary E. Goodwin, - the oldest of all the children - died in 1891, in the fiftieth year of her age. She was born and reared in the Presbyterian fold, as was also her husband. But he, having a few years before their marriage united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, she entered the same communion soon after becoming his wife, and in that communion she remained till called to the fellowship of the Church Triumphant.
