I know it's a longshot, but the location and time frame are the same.My grandfather died in 1943 and was supposedly one of twelve children of Richard MATTHEWS and Frances Mary OELRICH.The other known children are: Jessie, Mary, Frances(said to have been a deaf mute), Rankin Arthur(Rankin came from the family doctor's name) and Eva.Either Jessie or Eva was said to have married a George (last name unknown) of Norwalk, CT.Could my grandfather, Charles Goodwin have been a brother of your John Thomas?Do you have any information on any of his siblings or parents?I have my grandfather's birth certificate showing that he was definitely born in Brooklyn, NY.
