They are on the 1870 Census living in Jackson Township, Boone Co., Iowa. Casper was 45 years old (born abt. 1825) and was born in Pennsylvania. Elizabeth was 42 years old (born abt. 1828) and was born in Indiana. The children listed are: Henry W., Sarah E., and Anne R. -- all born in Indiana. The 1860 Census shows this family living in Van Buren Township, Clay Co., Indiana. Casper, Elizabeth, another son William F., Henry W. and Sarah E. This couple maybe the parents of my gg-grandfather, William Francis Thomas (b. 14 Feb 1847, Indiana d. 8 Feb 1923, Nebraska). William Francis Thomas was married to Viola Curry on 26 Dec 1874 in Hamilton Co., Iowa. They had two children: Charles Edward (?) Thomas, b. abt. 1878 in Iowa and George Casper Thomas, b. 1890 in Nebraska. If anyone can provide information and/or confirmation about this family, I'd greatly appreciate it.
