I am searching for the possibility that my gr-gr-gr grandfather Thomas Turpen Thomas aka T.T. Thomas, aka Turpen T. Thomas might have been a freighter to the goldmines in California. He would have been in the area between 1870 and 1885. He probably died 1885 Maricopa Co., AZ. Also, I am looking for another researcher, Blanche Spence. Thanks for any help Dani Lee McGowan
