Family:Thomas Dresser and Mary Unknown (1)

NOTE: According to the 1850 census, Thomas was born about 1846 -- but according to the 1870 census, his presumed eldest child was born about 1858, when Thomas would have been only about 12 years old. Of the five kids in the household in the 1870 census, the eldest two or three could be his younger siblings, not his children -- but all the children of his parents are apparently accounted for. And Thomas's age in 1870 agrees with his age in 1850. His marriage date has not been found, nor has his listing in the 1860 census.
