He is married in the 1880 census of Scio, NY with wife Emily (Emma Hawley according to son's burial record). Cannot find him after that date and assume he died prior to 1900 In the 1880 census, it listed a daughter Rose and a son Clayton. In 1921, that same son is listed as Arthur Clayton Thomas in burial records, married to a Frances Hamm Thomas and listed as son of Oscar and Emma. I cannot find ARthur in 1910 or 1910 census. There is a listing for a Clayton Thomas with wife Fanny, son Claude. However, Frances was almost 10 years older then Arthur...something not noted in the census. According to relatives, there was a daughter Betsey born to Arthur and Francine as well. Arthur died in 1921 and is buried in Allentown. FRances died in 1965 at the age of 99. Have nothing on Rose Thomas, his siser. Any help much appreciated. Thank you for your time. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
