Thomas is listed on the 1850 Cumberland County Census with his wife Delilah (Liley) and children. Thomas was born in Tennessee around 1812. I haven't been able to determine Thomas's parents/siblings. By 1860, they were in Benton County Missouri. It is rumored that Delilah was a Cherokee, but on the census she is listed as white. If you are anyone knows anything about this family, I would appreciate a reply....Thank you.
