Individual Details
Thomas Walters
(4 Apr 1808 - 1880)
I believe this Thomas married (1) Elizabeth Oliver, 16 Oct 1829 and (2) Mary Moore, 30 Jan 1845.
The following is the only Thomas Walters/Waters found in Tennessee in 1840 in Henry County. This is his data. Thomas Walters, 1m -5, 1m 5-10, 1m 10-15, 1m age 30-40 [same age as the two Thomases of Grainger] 1f -5, 1f 5-10, 1f 20-30.
