Alice, Did Thomas have any siblings? Baltimore is really close to the Canadian border. My John Henry was born in the U.S. in 1863. Do you have the names of Thomas' parents? Were they a Daniel O'Neil(l) and wife Anna (Nancy)? Grasping at straws here. I can't locate John Henry's parents, can you locate Thomas' ? I ask because my John Henry had some connection to the Railway and possibly St. Louis. It is believed he met his wife (Frances Elizabeth Barker) in St. Louis.
