I am hoping to find someone that may know something, or atleast run across it in their researching. My Thomas Lynch was born 12/14/1836 and died in Breckinridge Co., Kentucky on
3/2/1869. He married Letitia Jared on 1/10/1865 and they married in Perry Co., IN and resided for a short time in and around the Rome/Cannelton area.
Rumor is that Thomas is from the Rome, IN area, but he falls into a bracket in which he isn't listed on the 1870 census due to his sudden death of TB, and in the 1840-1860 census, can't seem to pinpoint him anywhere in Indiana.
He and Letitia had two sons, John Thomas, and Alford Lincoln Lynch. John Thomas died after a few short years, and is buried next to his father in Breckinridge Co.
Have yet to pinpoint who his parents are, and the CW Widow's Pension record fails to show a residence/birthplace. Documents list Indiana and Virginia as a birthplace. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In reading this probate I was wondering if this Thomas Lynch, Sr. and his wife Elizabeth are the ones that I am looking for. Thomas Lynch had a son by the name of John Lynch who was born in 1818 and died in 1905. John's wife name was Mary Rothrock. Could you please check on this and let me know if these are the same Lynch's that I have been searching for.

Thank You,

Bonnie Smith
