E. T. THOMAS was born in Lincoln County, March 1, 1819, son of William and

Rebecca (LYON) THOMAS.  (See sketch of H. D. A. THOMAS for parents'

biography).  He attended the country schools near his home in youth, and

for two years after his marriage resided on the old home place.  In 1843 he

married Jane MOORE, daughter of John and Esther (HARKINS) MOORE.  She was

born in 1823 and died in 1883, having borne eleven children, seven of whom

are living:  Esther (Mrs. H. C. McKINZIE), Albert, Rebecca (Mrs. J. S.

SMILEY), William, Josie (Mrs. P. H. SMITH), Nannie (Mrs. J. T.

HOLLAND),Mary (Mrs. James POINDEXTER).  Mr. THOMAS has given considerable

land to his children, but still owns 270 acres, all of which  he made by

his own indomitable energy.  He is conservative in politics, and cast his

first presidential vote for W. H. Harrison.  He is a Mason.  For his second

wife he took Mrs. Elizabeth BEASLEY, widow of Daniel BEASLEY, who died in

the army in 1862.  She reared and educated three children:  Clemmey (Mrs.

Cyrus CATHEY), Sallie (wife of Prof. Douglas ALLEN) and John F. (a

Methodist Episcopal minister).  Mrs. THOMAS is the daughter of Rev. Felix

and Ann McGAW.
