Source notes
The death notice from the Yorkville Enquirer for Lois Ann Thomas, daughter of Joseph Thomas, names the mother as Mary. This could be misprint, or Mary could be a later wife, and Lois Ann's stepmother. It introduces some uncertainty about the identity of the wife of our Joseph Thomas. If he had several wives, there is uncertainty about who is the mother of each of the children.
