   HENRY THOMAS, familiarly known among his friends as "Little Henry," farmer,
P. O. West Independence, was born June 23, 1815, in County Down, Ireland. His
parents, who were of Scotch and Welsh descent, came to America in 1816. They
first settled in Virginia, from there moving to Pennsylvania; thence, in 1826 or
1827, to Wayne County, Ohio, where they remained until 1834 or 1835, when they
came to this county and settled on Section 9, Big Lick Township (having entered
land here in 1833) and began pioneer life. Of their eleven children ten are yet
living; a picture of the entire family is now in the possession of Henry. Our
subject was married, December 4, 1856, to Margaret Bigharn, and to them were
born five children, three of whom are now living: Mary A., Amos H. and Ida J.
The deceased are Elmer J. and Jesse G. Mr. Thomas and family are members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
