Answer 2

1850 United States Federal Census

Name: Amos Thomas

Age: 55

Estimated Birth Year: abt 1795

Birth Place: Kentucky

Home in 1850(City,County,State): Buffalo, Pike, Missouri

Amos is listed as a "farmer" and his property's value is $3,100

Amos Thomas 55  

Harrison Thomas 8  

James Thomas 11  

Jemima Thomas 51  

Margaret Thomas 14  

Sanders Thomas 13

Silas Thomas is a farmer who rents and is listed w/ his family directly below his father, Amos. Silas has a son and a daughter and his son is named "Silas", as well. (see below)

1850 United States Federal Census

Name: Silas Thomas

Age: 27

Estimated Birth Year: abt 1823

Birth Place: Kentucky

Home in 1850(City,County,State): Buffalo, Pike, Missouri

Amos Thomas 0  

Elizabeth Thomas 24  

Margaret Thomas 2  

Silas Thomas 27

I, also, located an 1850 Slave Schedules which lists an Amos Thomas in Buffalo, Pike, Missouri .  There is no further info. on this Amos Thomas to be able to ID him, but it could be the one you are searching.  But, if so, he owned 7 slaves at the time.

No names of the slaves are given, but based on the sexes and ages it may be a mother and her family.  3 of the 6 children are classified as mulatto and the other 3 as black. (see below)

34 Female Black  

17 Male Black  

12 Male Mulatto  

10 Female Black  

7 Male Mulatto  

5 Male Mulatto  

1 Male Black

I think I found Jemima on the 1860 U.S. Census in the same location, but Amos is not listed.  So, possibly he dies between 1850 and 1860.
