Hi Karen, I'm not coming up with Amanda or Thomas in the index for some reason. Perhaps it is under an alternate spelling. Do you know where Amanda and /or Thomas were born? About how old would Thomas have been? Do you have any other names that we might expect to find in this household? The 1860 and 1870 are both everyname indexes on Ancestry so the more names we can try-the more likely we are to find them.
