Peter Thomas, farmer and stock-raiser, was born Feb. 27, 1837, in Franklin 
Township, Wayne Co., Ind., the third son of Charles and Nancy (Morman) Thomas, 
and a grandson of the late Stephen Thomas, a pioneer of this county. Our 
subject received a good common-school education, and resided at home till 
twenty-six years of age. When nine years of age he removed with his father’s 
family to New Garden Township, Wayne County. He was married Jan. 6, 1863, to 
Princella E., daughter of Benjamin and Jemima Cox, who came from Randolph, 
N.C., about 1848. To them have been born six children---Ellsworth, Cynthia I., 
Olinda B., Lindsey, Cora E. and Benjamin. Mr. Thomas has a farm of 104 acres 
of highly cultivated land, where he has resided since his marriage. He and 
family are active members of the Society of Friends, and politically he is a 
Republican.
