Biography
Rolandus Monroe Thomas was born on 29 May 1873 in Hancock Co., OH, WW I draft registration.
1 He married
Hannah Viola Fulk, daughter of
Edward Jackson Fulk and
Barbara Ellen Hook, on 23 November 1895 in Paulding Co., OH.
2 Rolandus Monroe Thomas died on 10 July 1936 in Waterford, Oakland Co., MI.
Rolandus Monroe Thomas lived on 1 June 1900 in Weldon Twp., Benzie Co., MI.
3 He lived on 2 May 1910 in Benton Twp., Paulding Co., OH.
4 He lived on 18 April 1930 in Tibbets Road, Southfield, Oakland Co., MI.
5 Note: Rolandus, also found as "Rowland" or "Roland", was listed on the 1880 census as "Orlandus" Bushong, and was living with his grandmother Hannah Reese and her second husband Levi Thomas. The evidence suggests strongly that he was an illegitimate son of Estoria Isoline Bushong. His mother had married Chase Keller in 1878 and was living with him in Hardin County in 1880, leaving Rolandus in the care of her parents. Rolandus used the surname Thomas his entire adult life, starting before his 1895 marriage. It is not clear whether he merely adopted the surname of the parents who raised him, or whether he was aware of a biological father surnamed Thomas. Personally I believe the former is more likely. He gave the birthplace of his father as "Pennsylvania" multiple times. A review of the 1870 and 1880 censuses, searching for a Thomas man of about Isoline's age who was born in Pennsylvania, shows none living closer than Sandusky County. DLB 2019.
