No I don't have names of any siblings. I know that Thomas'
mother died when he was about ten; they were living in Buffalo New York. He went to live with either the Shedd family or a Dr. Hurd in Byron, New York. I never heard about the other children and where they went. My sister thinks they were in an orphanage. He fought in the Civil War. We just don't know much about his early life or family.

I am very curious about this, your info is so very similar to A.B.'s. Do you have any of Thomas' siblings names? I've seen the A as Albert and Almond on different documents.

I don't, sorry. I sure wish I did it would make things easier. The only info I have is what he told an author, in it he said his mother was from Ireland. I am wondering if ours could be the same though?

My great grandfather was born in Dutchess County,N. Y. in 1840. His name was Thomas Close; his parents died when he was young and he ended up in Byron, New York. I've been trying to find info about his parents, but don't know their names. The census says his father was from England; mother from Scotland. Do you know is your ggrandfather had a brother Thomas?

My great grandfather was Thomas Close who was born in 1840 in Poughkeepsie New York. His parents died when he was very young. I've been trying to find their names. The only info I have about them was that his father was from England and mother from Scotland (not sure this is right). I do know that he had brothers & sisters. My grandfahter ended up in Byron New York. Do you know if AB had a brother Thomas?

Hi I also am doing research on the Close family that were originally from Co Down moving to Scotland then onto Australia. James and Mary Close came to Hobart Australia aboard the Conway in 1855 from Liverpool.
