NOTE 11/2020: IN Above Obit some names are not spelled correctly. I am Thomas's Great Grandson (Estella was my grand mother), Most of his children were not happy with his wondering ways and his lack of staying in one place. Most said Eliza died of a broken heart from the move to desolate Western Kansas. Their farm land in MO was far better ground than ANY property he later owed but he just could not stay put. He was a wheeler / dealer. KS move was made in a covered wagon in very rough dry times.
