    Son of

    Born in Wadsworth.

    Around 1855, he married Ellen Towne [1834-1889], daughter of Elizabeth (née Midgley) & Jacob Town. A family story says that Ellen was a lady-in-waiting to the Queen. Her family disapproved of the marriage and disowned her.

    A family story, tells how the brothers bought property – timberland – there, but were swindled out of it by unscrupulous speculators. Disillusioned, Alfred and Thomas returned to Pennsylvania, settling in Derry Township, but Henry remained in Missouri.

    He was a quarryman [1870].

    He was a well-known runner and took part in many races for prize money. By 1870, he was a semi-invalid, a consequence of his having been drugged before a race to prevent his winning.

    In May 1884, Thomas fell and broke his left hip at his home in Pennsylvania.

    He died August 1884
