Bio: Warren Toliver "Toll" Thomas, 2nd known child and eldest son of Thomas Clark Thomas and Jane Marr, b. circa 1832 at Tennessee. He d. in or after 1861. In late 1860 Warren was enumerated as the non-Cherokee head of a household residing in the Delaware District of the Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory. The 1860 census of Indian Territory only enumerated non-Indian residents; Warren's wife Martha Copeland, a Cherokee by blood, and his eldest two children also Cherokee by blood through their mother, were at that time undoubtedly part of his household. It is believed Warren is one and the same as Capt. W. T. Thomas, Assistant Quartermaster of the Cherokee Mounted Volunteers (Confederate) under the command of Cherokee sub-chief and Gen. Stand Watie [NARA 818-24-226]. However, when, where and under what circumstances Warren died is unknown, but he is believed to have died during the Civil War as he had only one additional child b. in November 1861.By late 1858, Warren m. his step-sister Martha M. Copeland, the widow first of Ezekiel Buffington, and second of Ezekiel Buffington's brother Ellis. She was an elder dau. of Alexander Copeland and Elizabeth Wilson, latter whose 2nd husband was Warren's father. She was b. Mar. 15, 1836 at Cherokee Indian Territory, now northeast Oklahoma. A Cherokee by blood through her mother, Martha was enumerated in 1851 as a Cherokee "Old Settler" and received "Old Settler" payments in 1896, proving she was born at present-day Oklahoma. Warren and Martha had the following three known children:• i. Julia Ivey Thomas, b. June 30, 1858 in the Delaware District of the Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory, and d. Oct. 5, 1902 at Stilwell in the Cherokee Nation, now Stilwell, Adair County, Oklahoma; m. in 1875, Walter Scott Sixkiller, a Cherokee by blood, s. of Arch Sixkiller and Charlotte, b. Oct. 10, 1855.
