You see , John, was denied once for his pension in Lawrence County, then reapplied in Jackson and was approved. I am looking for a census or some kind of other paper trail to find the elusive Thomas. If you are a Canter researcher, you will want to join us at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/canterhistory/ Thanks again, Mike Canter Mike
