No, sorry, I do not have parents for John - and am not sure if he was called "John", "Thomas," or "Tom." I do have names and birth dates (I think) of his children, and some are buried near Guy, AR. I truely would like to make a connection, but know so little.

Lula, I was going through some pictures taken at New Liberty Cemetery, and found a headstone that doesn't seem to fit in with my family, but makes more sense now that I've talked to you. The names on it are J. Tom (Feb 25, 1895- Sep 11 1964) and H. Mae ( Jan 13 1898- July 24, 1973) You might want to try to obtain a death cert for this J. Tom and see if he may be related to your John Thomas. I'll keep looking and see what I can come up with.
