ORRICK, ARRICK
I have a gap in Orrick/Arrick family history in 1870. They appear in 1850,1860 in Warren as ORRICKs, then in 1880 in Coffee as ARRICKs.
Some of the 1870 Warren census page are very dim, both at Ancestry.com and the microfilm at my local library. I’m wondering if they are hiding in there. Are there better copies somewhere?
1860 in Warren shows Orricks: Jno 1826, Margaret 1830, Sarah 1848, James 1851, Laura 1853, Willaim 1855, Vetes (E.V) 1857, Margaret 1859.

THOMAS
Looking for my great-grandfather, William Henry THOMAS. He was born in TN in Nov. 1862 according to 1900 Census. We do not know anything else about his family or relatives.
He worked for a railroad in Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie Co., Iowa; married Clara Bell STORRS ca. 1886 & subsequently they had 5 kids. After Clara’s death in 1899, the kids were parceled out to family members, & W.H. within a few years left, only visiting occasionally thereafter. In the 1870 Coffee Co. census, District 13 (Tullahoma), there is a William H. Thomas, age 7, son of a William H. Thomas, age 37, boatmaker. A sister? Mary E., age 17 is there too. Does anyone know anything about this THOMAS family?
