Roy Richard Thomas remembers in 1933, Uncle Pete was a person who did not keep in active touch with his brothers and sisters and probably never married. He might appear at their homes unannounced, on his way from one place to another.

| 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. |
