Francis "Face" Thompson
The son of Frederick Thompson, a clerk at a large ranch, and his Cherokee wife Sarah. Francis was the youngest of nine children, but only two of his siblings survive, his 25-year old brother Samuel and his 20-year-old sister Martha. Francis gets along well with Samuel and is devoted to his sister, but he always hated his abusive father. By age 16 he had enough. He stole a pile of money and valuables that his father had embezzled out of the ranch over the years—including his father's prize possession, a gold-plated, pearl-handled Colt Peacemaker. His father caught him and, infuriated, pulled a pistol. Francis and Frederick Thompson traded shots but neither was hurt, and Francis got away. He headed west on the first stagecoach he found. Deceased.
