Well, I now have a copy of the naturalization papers for Thomas.
I am attaching a link to them on PhotoBucket for you to see.

His papers say he was born in Yorkshire, England 1812. He immigrated to the US May 1834 and arrived in New York June 1834. He then went to Natchez, Mississippi in 1835 presuming by way of New Orleans. He married Sarah Ann Davis 1837 in Adams county Mississippi. They then went to Indiana were he and his family lived and died.
I have been through the listing of the Yorkshire Parishes through Mirfield on IGI. Will continue to go through the listings looking for him in each Parish. I am checking through the 1813-? as well as the older records i.e., 1750 -1812 just in case the year on the papers is off by a year.
If someone has any other way to check let me know.
Thank you
Barb Yeoman
