John Thomas appeared to have have purchased his farm to the west around 1900. Eventually Joy sold that farm to Carl Sjulin who had already bought much of the Shunick land. "Squire" Moody's land to the north was probably to hilly for Mr. Shunick as he seemed to only like flat bottom ground. I'm pretty sure Mr. Shunick never owned Thomas' or Moody's.
