I had intended to type that he lived about 1845 to 1888. The 0 was suppose to be a dash. I can't get any earlier than 1870 census for Thomas in Washington County, Kansas. But he claimed on 3 census years and a marriage record that he was born in Mississippi. On the marriage record he said his parents were William Dent and Mary (Walker - I think). Thanks so much.
