According to his tombstone Thomas was born in 1821 and died 07 Jul 1902 , Cave in Rock, IL. He served in the CW in the 9th IL Infantry. Thomas married twice. His first wife, Polly, died 1850 who gave him three children. The second wife was Mary SIMMONS who produced 5 children. The SMOCKs in Hardin Co., IL in 1840 were Hiram (b. 1800 KY), Barney (b. 1808 IL) and Alfred (b. 1810 IL). They were brothers, sons of C. (Cornelius?) and Sarah SMOCK. Only Hiram would be old enough in 1821 to be a candidate as Thomas' father. The only marriage found for Hiram is in 1837. In the USC 1840 Hiram's mother, Sarah, is in his household as is the oldest male (5-10) who is too young to be Thomas (then 19). The children in Barney's and Alfred's families are all under the age of 10. So there is no trace of Thomas among the SMOCKs in 1840, though he shows up with a family in 1850. Of course, I am looking for the connection which will identify Thomas with his parents.
