Seeking info on Thomas O'Mara, born ca 1835 TN or KY, died Apr 1905, bur Cave Hill Cem, Louisville KY. According to census and other records, he was a druggist, married at least three times: first to Ellen, second to Alice J. McGinnis, third to Mrs. Mary (Cruise) Mapother in Louisville. In 1876 had son Thomas O'Mara, whose name was changed by 1900 to Thomas Cruise Mapother. Thomas O'Mara (Sr.) is described as a widower on the 1900 census of Whitley Co KY.

Children of Thomas O'Mara:

She might be the Mary O'Mara, "inmate" of the Convent of the Good Shepherd in Cleveland OH in 1900. Living with sister Alice at Columbus OH in 1910; alone in West Corbin, Whitley Co KY in 1920, a dry goods merchant; and with Alice again in San Diego CA in 1930. She may be the Mary E.
