"BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES BOWLING GREEN AND WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP.
MAHALA THOMAS, a resident of Bowling Green, was the third in a family of eight children of James and Frances (Thompson) Booth, the former a native of Kentucky, the latter of Virginia, and of Irish and English extraction. Her father was a soldier in the war of 1812, and her grandfather Thompson was a Revolutionary soldier. Mahala was born in Harrison County, Ind., July 16, 1809, and was reared on a farm, with very limited educational advantages. Owing to the death of her father, she went to live with her grandfather, Lawrence Thompson, where she remained until January 10, 1833, when she was married to Oswald Thomas, a native of Virginia. The young couple located in "Washington Township, Clay County, and after the laying-out of Bowling Green, became residents of that town. Mr. Thomas devoted his time to farming, developing a home in the wilderness. Nine children were born to this marriage?Morris J. (deceased), Mary J. (deceased), Jeptha, John E., Jurettie M. (deceased), James T. (deceased), Clara E., Huldah F. (now Hoffa), and Amanda B. (now Tribble). Mr. Thomas died June 9, 1858. He served as Trustee of Washington Township three successive terms. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity. Mrs, Thomas is now seventy-four years of age, and has been a resident of Clay County since 1825."
