Larry, Here is your Emma with parents in 1880. I have not found Thomas. There was a Stinson family in PP Co 1880, but no Thomas listed with them. Think his birth date of 1876 could be a little early? Also, on the 1900 census where Tom is enumerated with his wife and child, at the bottom of the page is a Marion Snow who is listed as step son to Luther Warren. Wife is Mittie b MS 1850. She has been married twice, 4ch born with only 2 living. I believe this is the mother to your Emma. In between Thomas and Mittie, is Andrew Klenke and wife Sarah. They are part of my family. She was maiden name Graves and was born in AL.
