About 1896, Thomas Jefferson Squires (T.J.) and his brother Christopher "Lum" Columbus Squires left northern Ohio. They were woodcutters for the railroad and they went to Calhoun County, Mississippi. T.J. married a plantation owner's daughter, Carrie McCord in 1897. They had two children together: John and Henry. Both T.J. and Lum's wives died of the fever (Typhoid) about 5 years later. They then moved to Indiana.
