Individual Details

Thomas LANDERS

(Bet 1811 and 1816 - 26 Mar 1885)

There is a Thos. Lander in Adams Twp., Muskingum Co., OH, in 1840, who is possible:
2 M 20-30
1 F 20-30
3 M under 5
A Thos. Landes in Gratiot Twp., Muskingum Co., OH, in 1840 fits exactly what is now known:
1 m 20-30
1 f 20-30
1 m under 5
That Thos. is next door to Thos. Deems. That could be significant because there is a marriage record in Muskingum County of a Henry Landers and Elizabeth Deems on 26 Feb 1835.

There was a marriage in Muskingum County, OH, between a Thomas Launder and Ellen McFarling on 6 Mar 1834 that might be possible for his first marriage, but tax records indicate there was a Thomas Launder there who already owned land before 1834, so it is more likely that marriage was his.
Tree at ancestry says this is the right marriage, but I still have some concern, as the marriage record says "both of Zanesville." Further looking shows an Absalom Fox married to Sarah McFarland in Warren Co., OH.

Richard Riley gedcom has Abt. 1912 as birth year for Thomas and he also had full death date and place for him.
