He was born in Rhea TN about 1827. He was married first to Matilda Compton (they were married in Rhea, TN. They moved to Bluffton, Yell Co, AR and later to Hot Springs, Garland Co, AR. Whether Matilda died in Hot Springs or Yell Co I don't know. Thomas later married Jane Duncan. Family info has them buried in Hot Springs. Can anyone that has more info on this lineage please help? Thank you.
