Hi all. Trying to sort out which THOMAS's are direct line. And is anyone working on WELCH/WELSH Line, Sarah Elizabeth WELCH b 1854 TN,, parents Charles and Manerva DAVIS WELSH. Or Crane, Sarah CRANE b. abt. 1897 mar. abt 1919-1921 to James Vance Thomas b.1884 Chattanooga area. Father T.N. CRANE Mother C. Cora Bayon or Bayna?

In 1850 census index there are many of my Thomas names, but no ages or dob's are listed. See below. Is there an 1850 or 1860 that can give me ages and dates? And show heads of households?
