| Documents |
 | Robert Thomas updated his personal file for the Bureau of Pensions
This update in 1915 included a list of his living children and their birthdates. The "Robert Thomas Pension Letter dated 5/8/09" was indeed signed by Robert Thomas, but the body of the letter was evidently written by his wife, Addie Davenport. Compare the script of the word "Thomas" in the "I Robert Thomas" at the beginning of the "Pension Letter" with the script of "Thomas" in the signature of Addie Thomas near the top of page two of her pension application. The body of Addie Davenport's pension application was written by a clerk, probably in her lawyer's office. |

Ira Bert Burks, b. 2 Aug 1880, Indiana, USA |
| Married |
17 Jun 1899 |
Marion County, Indiana, U.S.A. |
- Indiana Marriages, 1845-1920: "Saville Thomas, age 18, daughter of Robert Thomas and Ms. Davenport m. 17 Jun 1899 at Marion, IN Bert Burks, age 30, son of D. Burks and Ms. Graham." [Savilla b. 2 Mar 1883, was actually age 16 yr 3 mo 15 da.; Ira Burt Burks b. 2 Aug 1880, was actually 18 yr 10 mo 15 da]
Indiana Marriages, 1845-1920: Bert Burks, age 32, m. 19 Jul 1900 Marion, IN Fannie Morgan, age 32 [Did Fannie die in childbirth?]
Indiana Marriage Collection, 1800-1941: Savilla Thomas & Ira B. Burks, 24 Oct 1900 Boone County.
[It appears that Savilla (Saville) Thomas married Ira Burt (Bert) Burks first in 1899, when she was but age 16. Perhaps this marriage was annulled because of her age. Ira Burt (Bert) Burks may have then married Fannie Morgan, who died soon after. Then Savilla (Saville) Thomas married Ira Burt (Bert) Burks and the couple had one child, Harold. They must have divorced before 15 Apr 1910.]
