  • Notes 
    • As a young man, in 1849, he travelled to California to search for gold. Returned to New York by ship via Panama, travelling by mule across the isthmus and resuming his ship passage on the other side. After their marriage, they moved to Patch Grove, WI. In 1853, Thomas bought land in New Oregon, Howard County, IA, and built a log cabin. When the home was ready, he brought his wife and infant son, John. He is listed in the 1860 census in Howard county with his wife, sons John and William, and Mary Renwick (age 24) and John S. Renwick (age 17). He is found in the 1870 census in Howard county with his wife, sons John, William and James, and John Renwick (age 26), farm laborer. His obituary in the 4-1-1913 Cresco newspaper stated he was born 1-5-1826 in Delaware County, NY. In 1847, he left New York and moved to Grant County, WI. He had been a continuous resident of Howard County since 1854. He was survived by his sons John of Winneshiek County, James E. of Cresco, and his daughter, Mrs. Margaret Mitchell of Cresco. Services were held by the Congregational Church.
