Misc. Notes
Thaddeus Boothe Lampton was born near Tylertown, Walthall County, Mississippi, on October 23, 1867, and he died on February 8, 1938.
He was a graduate of Columbia High School and the University of Mississippi class of 1889. A one-year course at the Eastman School of Business in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1890 helped to prepare Lampton for a long business career. He served as state treasurer from October 1902 to January 1904 during the administration of Mississippi governor A. H. Longino, completing the unexpired term of George Carlisle. Lampton was also a member of the board of trustees of Millsaps College in Jackson and Whitworth College in Brookhaven and treasurer of the Mississippi Children's Home Society.
Mary (Mamie) Dorsey Terrell married Thaddeus Boothe Lampton on June 10, 1897. The couple apparently met while Terrell was visiting in Magnolia. Mamie Terrell Lampton was a graduate of Ward-Belmont College in Nashville. Her parents, Vernon Lagrange and Lida Fuqua Terrell, lived in Crystal Springs for many years, but they had moved to Jackson by the 1890s. Her grandfather, Samuel W. Lewis, was the commander of Fort Adams, Wilkinson County, Mississippi, during his military career. The Terrells were descendants of James A. Gilliland of South Carolina, an early Presbyterian missionary in Mississippi. Mamie Terrell Lampton had three sisters: Adine, who married Frank D. Lee of Shreveport, Louisiana; Lala, who married Charles McDavitt; and Lida, who married Lex Brame. Lampton’s brothers included Cary, Douglas, and Vernon Terrell.
Thaddeus and Mamie Lampton raised three children: Adine Terrell (1900-1975), Lala Helen (1903-1934), and Thaddeus Boothe, Jr. (b. ca. 1910). Adine Terrell Lampton, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, married George Clayton Wallace, Jr. (ca. 1893-1962) of Memphis, Tennessee, on June 10, 1925. Helen Terrell Lampton, a graduate of Goucher College, married John Blake Lowe, Jr., of Baltimore, Maryland, on December 19, 1925. Thaddeus Boothe, Jr., a graduate of the University of Virginia and the business school of Harvard University, married Helene Tupper McClure of Sardis, Mississippi, in 1940. Lampton pursued a career in the family banking and business enterprises.
