Tom and Nancy were married in Bourbon County, Kansas by Elder Peter Riley of the Christian Church. Their marriage is recorded in courthouse in Ft. Scott, Kansas.
Tom was 8 years old when his father died in 1853 in Johnson County, Missouri. His mother married Asa Hindds in 1856 and the Hinds family moved to Vernon County, Missouri, about 1 1/2 miles northwest of Deerfield in 1858. Tom, his brother Dave and sisters, Becky and Lizzie lived with Asa and Martha. However, during the Civil War, Tom was sent to Johnson County, Missouri to live with his brothers families and didn't return home until after the war. (From affidavit in Pension records of Asa Hinds.)
Tom moved much. Daughter Laura was born in Missouri in 1868, son John in Benton County, Arkansas, in 1869. He was in Benton County, Arkansas, in the 1870 census and on tax roll that year but not 1871, 1872 or 1873. Daughter Rebecca was born in Missouri in 1872. Son W. A. was born in 1874 near Filley, Cedar County, Missouri and daughter Kate was born near Jerico Springs, Cedar County, Missouri in 1877. Tom's father-in-law, John Pitman, had moved from Deerfield to Jerico Springs, Cedar County by 1870 and had a farm there until late 1890's. By 1885/6 Tom is living in Union Township, Barton County, Missouri, where his sister's families moved in the period 1881-1884. The sisters were Becky Cox and Lizzie Wilson. Sister Artie Taylor lived by 1880 at Joplin, Jasper, Missouri.
At the time of Tom's death, the Sheldon, Missouri and Lamar, Missouri newspapers had several articles in neighborhood newsbits about his final illness. He died of hemorrhage of the stomach.
Information obtained from great-grandson, Warren Lawrence, Lamar, Missouri.
