Notes for Thomas Hepworth Oswald, Jr.:
I have a belief that Thomas H. Oswald was a Very hard person to have as a father. Several reasons: First of all he seemed to have an ego because he call himself Colernal and valued his property on the census very high. He also sent his kids away to school. The Girls seemed to get married at young ages. But, the thing that gets me is his son Thomas M. Oswald dies About 1860 and Thomas H. does not die until 1877 and yet we find Thomas M. kids concidered dumb by the census in Arkansas because the can not read or write. They seem to be living with a sister and in poverty. (?)
