Brenda, What other info do you have on your Thomas Stanton (19 M W Farmer b Ky shown in the 1850 Kentucky Census Rusell Co)? I have been searching for my gr-gr-grandfather Thomas N. Stanton. I have no dates but do know he married a women name Elizabeth and had two sons, Owen b. 1858 and August. Your Thomas would be the right age but my Thomas left to serve in the Civil War on the Union side. His wife died shortly afterward and his infant sons were cared for by others. They lived in Newark, Licking Co., OH. I don't know when they came there. His wife might have been from that area and went there when he left for the war. He served as Master at Arms aboard the Benton, Flagship of Admiral Porter of the Mississippi Squadron. After the war he came back sporadically but never lived in Newark with his children. His son Owen worked on a farm and was listed as such in the 1870 census, being then 15 years old. Let me know if this looks like it could be your Thomas. It certainly would end a long search.
