He was enumerated in Maries co., Mo in 1860 and in 1880 he is in Arkansas. I saw on the land records that a Thomas J Parker had purchased land in the 1860's. Sometimes J's and L's are misinterptreted. His wife's name would be Mary Caroline but on the 1880 census in Arkansas she is listed as Mary B. The B may stand for her maiden name Bradshaw. Appreciate any help you might give. Thomas was born in 1830 in Tenn. Jim Heady
