I’ve lost Thomas Smith after 1880. He’s Errol’s ancestor and has been a pain to research.

Thomas Smith was born about 1845 in Johnson County Indiana, married Barbara Ellen Fansler in Marion County, Indiana, moved to Posey Township, Clay County Indiana by 1870. In the 1880 census Tom and family are living with Joe Stewart in St. George Township, Pottawatomie County Kansas. Under occupation is listed “temporary resident.” By 1888 the family, or at least Hettie Ellen, the eldest daughter, is living in Sebastian County Arkansas, where she married Henry Caspar Kaase, 8 January. But I can’t identify Thomas or the rest of the family in Sebastian County. Where did they go? Are they in Arkansas or Indian Territory? Hmmm?
