According to previous data, Thomas <strong>and</strong> Nancy married on 2 January 1817 in Blount County,<br />
Tennessee <strong>and</strong> that <strong>the</strong>y had a total <strong>of</strong> 9 children.<br />
Also based on previous data, <strong>the</strong> “S” in Thomas’ census recording probably st<strong>and</strong>s for Shelton<br />
(or Sheldon) <strong>and</strong> that he was married twice, <strong>the</strong> second wife being Elizabeth Broadway, born in<br />
1797 <strong>and</strong> who married to Thomas on 24 November 1863 in Indiana.<br />
Comparing <strong>the</strong> family data prior to 1850 with <strong>the</strong> 1850 census, it seems that 5 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> children had<br />
already left home <strong>and</strong> were on <strong>the</strong>ir own by 1850: William, Elias, James, Mary, <strong>and</strong> Lewis.<br />
In addition, a Lewis <strong>Smith</strong>, aged 24, was found working on a farm in Parke County, Indiana, in<br />
1850. Proper identification <strong>of</strong> Lewis is essential because it is Lewis <strong>Smith</strong> who carries on this<br />
family line.<br />
