Research notes

Priscilla Whitlow was named as the mother of Stephan H. Thomas on his death certificate.

Finding the parents of John M. Thomas and Priscilla Whitlow is proving to be quite elusive. There were eleven different men with the surname of Thomas in Hardin Co., Kentucky in the census year after John M. was born (1820). In the 1820 census, only the head of household was named, and then only the approximate ages of family members were listed. Of the eleven heads of household listed in Hardin County with the surname 'Thomas', those with male children under ten years of age (John M. would have been one year old) were as follows: three different Josephs, Hardin, Isaac, Robert, Samuel, Moses, and Thomas Thomas. One fairly strong suggestion that one of the Josephs was John M's father is in the 1860 census in Catalfia, Hart Co., Kentucky. In that 1860 census (Series M653, Roll 372) on the exact same census page (Page 373) John M. and Priscilla Thomas are listed along with five children (James, Mary, Eliza, Elias, and Nancy) at the top of the page, and Joseph Thomas and his family AND James Whitlow (Priscilla Thomas' maiden name was Whitlow) and his family are listed at the bottom of the page. Both Joseph Thomas and James Whitlow were of an age where it is entirely possible they are John M. Thomas and Priscilla Whitlow's parents.
