His family then moved west on the way to Arkansas, but Tom got sick. They left him with a family in the area (Tennessee), the Beelers. He eventually married one of the Beeler daughters, Margaret. Don't know if this helps - I'm still stumped on who his parents were, as well as the other brothers that ditched him. Can't find them (I don't think) in Arkansas or Virginia. If anyone knows of them, please email me.
