Thomas Headdy was the son of James Heady and Elinor Elizabeth Deacon (sometimes spelled Dacon and/or Dayton) of Spencer County, Kentucky. His parents were married on 24 November 1836 at Nelson Co., Kentucky. Thomas' siblings included: Elizabeth Heady (husband Samuel Stevens), Nathan S. Heady, Susan C. Heady (husband Seth Stevens), Nancy Heady, John (Jackson) Heady (a twin), and Joseph Heady (a twin).

Thomas Headdy fought on the side of the Union during the Civil War. He was assigned to the 26th Regiment, Kentucky Infantry in Company C. Thomas was a private on his enlistment and was discharged as a private (U.S. Civil War Soldiers, 1861-1865). On July 31, 1888, Thomas filed for a Civil War invalid pension in Indiana (Application #828966) and received certificate #589564 for his service in Company C of the 26th Kentucky Infantry. Family stories indicate that Thomas was shot in the hand either during his service in the Civil War or just afterwards while he was making his way back home to Kentucky. After the War, he moved to Bean Blossom Township, in Monroe County, Indiana where he established a farm.

On July 21, 1867, Thomas Headdy married Mildred Ellen Figg in Monroe County, Indiana; from this union seven children were born: Charles Albert Headdy, Carrie Elizabeth Headdy, Cyrus Homer Headdy, Thomas Dallas Headdy, William Walter "Dick" Headdy, James Herman Headdy, and an unnamed male child that lived four days (28 Jan 1878 to 1 Feb 1878).
