I think that Thomas V. Kersey who married Mary B. Steuart may be a different person from Thomas Kersey who married Laura Ballard.Two pieces of information are causing me to think this way:
1.1880 census
Census Place: Emporia, Lyon, Kansas
Source: FHL Film 1254387National Archives Film T9-0387Page 183A
Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace
Thomas BALLARD Self M W W 55 VA
Occ: Miller Fa: --- Mo: ---
Luan C. KERSAY Dau F W W 32 IL[Is she really a widow?? if so Thomas V. Kersey who married Mary
Occ: Keeping House Fa: VA Mo: VAB.Steuart must be different person than Laura's husband]
Cora KERSAY GDau F S W 9 IL
Fa: VA Mo: IL
Levie KERSAY GDau F S W 12 IL
Fa: IL Mo: IL
Susan BALLARD Dau F S W 9 IL
Fa: VA Mo: VA
matched with 1870 census Winchester, Scott Co., Illinois p306 and following
Dwelling 135
Ballard Thomas 47 Virginia
Matilda 42 Virginia
Mary 25 Penn
Samuel 18 Illinois
William 24 Illinois
Margaret 28 Missouri
Kersey, Thomas 29 Illinois
Laura 21 Illinois
Liven 2 Illinois
so it looks like this Thomas wife Laura is a widow in 1880
2.1860 census Winchester Scott Co., Illinois dwelling 21
Thomas Kersey 56 Delaware
Margaret A. 35 Illinois
Thomas F. 19 Illinois
...
Thomas F. rather than Thomas V.
Is there anything I'm missing that makes it more likely that these two Thomas Kerseys are the same person?
