The Civil War led to terrible hardships for the Thomason families, due to their mixed loyalties for the North & South. Fathers, sons, and brothers often joined opposite armies and fought against each other.
This may be the reason Young Z. changed the spelling of his last name to "Thomison", as it appears on his stone.
Feb. 4 1864, at Ozark, MO, he enlisted in Union Army, Co. C, 16th Regt, Missouri Infantry. He was discharged Aug 3, 1864.
His 1st wife died in 1866, and he married Mary Bassam in 1868.
"Bud" Thomason was killed in a tragic hunting accident in 1881. He was the father of 13 children.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His nephew Zimiri (son of John Matlock Thomason) fraudulently attempted to apply for Indian reparations by claiming ties to the line of "Dunkin" or "Duncan" through his great-grandmother "Hannah" who was not a Duncan but rather an Abercrombie. She had sisters who married Duncans but she had no indian blood. His application was rejected.
(I've seen the rejection before in F-A-G and Carol mentions the rejection as well (see page 21 of her book). We can try and get it again if you can't find it from "One 2 Wander"; let me know.)
