Wife of Alexander McKinstry and mother of Alabama Lieutenant Governor Alexander McKinstry
Daughter of Jesse Thompson, a Revolutionary War soldier in Georgia, and Nancy Clark, the daughter of General Elijah Clark. The name is sometimes spelled Clarke.
Sister of Drury Thompson, clerk of Mobile County Circuit Court.
A large marker in the McKinstry plot at Magnolia Cemetery bears the name Elizabeth Clark Thompson, along with the names of several other relatives, and a McKinstry family tree online gives Magnolia as her location of burial, though there is no individual marker for her here and she may not be interred here. The county health department shows no death record for her issued in 1863.
Tim Childree says: In the McKinstry lot in sq 19 there is a large McKinstry monument. Alexander and Virginia Dade's names and dates are on one face. The opposite face has Alexander's paternal lineage going back to Roger McKinstry of Scotland who died in 1680. Roger's son John ended up in Ellington, Connecticut. Then his son Alexander, his son Ezekial, and his son Alexander who was Elizabeth Thompson's husband. His mother is the last name on the bottom. But it's not clear if she's buried there. She outlived her husband by 40 years so she may well have come to Mobile to live with her son. The very last line of that face of the monument reads "inscribed in 1874 by their son Alexander McKinstry of Mobile."
New England Historical & Genealogical Register, vol. XII (1858), p. 324: "Alexander (McKinstry), b. April 9, 1785; he established himself in Augusta, Georgia, as a merchant, where he married Elizabeth, daughter of Jesse Thompson of that neighborhood, by whom he had one son, Alexander, living in Mobile, Ala., 1857, a judge of the municipal court of that city; and one daughter, Ann, unmarried. Alexander died at Charleston, S.C., Nov. 6, 1823, age 39. His widow married Dr. Henry Sullivan Lee, of Boston, son of Dr. Samuel Parsons Lee, of New York. They have had eight children, five sons and three daughters."
