I found Robert Thomas and John McCord living next to each other, in White River Twp,
Johnson County, Indiana in 1830. In 1840 Robert Thomas age est 1800 living in Boone Co.
with small children and no wife.
In 1850 Robert Thomas is living in Clay Twp. Hamilton County, IN with a wife named Sarah
and she is 13 years longer than him. In 1850 Roberts children are William 20 IN, James N.
18 IN, Robert 16 IN, Harriet Ann 14 IN, Mary Isabel 11 IN, and Joseph A. 3 IN ( probably
with second wife Sarah) Also in the household are Sara sibling or children of a previous
marriage Cynthia McDonald 16 IN, James Alex 14 IN, William Harry H. 12 IN, John W. 8 IN.
Back in Boone Co in the book, GUARDIANSHIPS BOONE CO IN, 1833-1875, by Marilyn S. Walker,
that Robert Thomas is the guardian of Cynthia, James A. and William HH McDaniel on 11 Aug
1852. I hope this helps, I know that you still don’t know the lst wife’s name, but maybe
with the children marriages it will list their mothers name.
I’m not related to this family, just trying to share.
