AMLIN, Thomas J.
THOMAS J. AMLIN was born November 17, 1841, in Franklin County, Tennessee, his parents being John M. and Mary A. (Childs) Amlin,
the former of Ohio, born July 4, 1811, and the latter of Tennessee, born July 25, 1812. They were married in 1827 and had a family of nine children, four of whom survive. In 1842 Mr. Amlin emigrated to St. Clair County, Missouri, purchased 160 acres and was a resident of the county until his death, October 23, 1867. His widow has lived here for
forty-one years. In 1861 Thomas J. enlisted in the Confederate service for a few months, when he returned home. He was married to Miss Mary C. Lawson, of Benton County, Missouri, and to them have been born seven children: Delia A., born May 9, 1864; John T., born August 7, 1866; James, born October 2, 1868, now deceased; Mary E., born September 6, 1869; Nancy J., born October 15, 1873, died October 25, 1875; Missouri A., born June 5, 1875. and Martha M., born May 31, 1880. In 1871 Mr. Amlin purchased the old homestead, upon which he lived for three years, when, selling it, he bought 111 acres in Jackson Township. This was
his home for seven years, and then he disposed of it and again bought 160 acres in this township. Roland C. Amlin, his brother, was born April 1, 1844, in Jackson Township, this county, and was the fifth son and seventh child of the family. He was married April 20, 1871, to Miss Paulina Payne, of St. Clair County, and they have five children: Mahala
J., born December 21, 1872; John W., born December 29, 1874; James T., born February 14, 1877; Francis C., born December 23, 1878, and Martha H., born August 26, 1881. In 1874 Mr. A. purchased the principal part of the homestead property, which he still owns. These brothers are progressive farmers and quite extensive stock raisers. Politically, they are Democratic. Thomas J. Amlin and wife are members of the Baptist Church at Hopewell, while Roland C. and his mother are connected with the M. E. Church South.
