!Notes: her notes: "thomas was a widower with 3 living children and one who had died from his marriage with Mary, when he married Janet Alexander in 1855. It's on Thomas & Janet's marriage record that he was born in Keepach, County Tyrone, but that appears to be a mispelling of Cappagh. Not only did Thomas father 18 children, he also oulived all of his wives!"
