There is no listing for property value. A Nancy Bolen (age 70, ) was living in the house along with the following children: Harriet (age 11), Joseph H. (age 8), Thomas W. (age 5), Michael (Age 3), and Nancy J. (10 mos.) Age 27 - 1872 - Marriage to 1st wife Richaetta Cornell, age on marriage registry shows an age of 25 but other documents seem to indicate his age was actually 30 Age 28 - 1st child - Simon Michael is born 16 Feb 1873

[Soon after Simon Michael's birth Thomas's first wife probably died. He likely gave Simon Michael to his mother's parents to raise and a few years later he married Maggie and had more children with her. However, Simon Michael can not be found in any census reports prior to 1900. Simon Michael's death certificate shows Henry as the parents but they more likely just raised him. -- Vernon Wilson]
