Orange Thomas was born in slavery in about 1860. His parents are unknown. Also, it is not known where Orange was born.
Orange could not be found in the 1870 census. However, in 1880 he is found residing in the Pike Road vicinity of Montgomery County, Alabama with his wife Peggy Hampton and child Sallie Ann (aka Celie). This household also consisted of Peggy's sister Ellen Hampton and her son Rufus.
In 1900, Orange was still residing in the Pike Road area with his wife and children: Celie Ann, Annie, Rebecca, Emma, Hannah and Orange Jr. A son Hampton Boyd would be born about 3 or 4 years later.
His wife Peggy died around 1908 and on January 4, 1913, he married Carrie Youngblood, a local midwife. They had one son William Thomas.
Prior to his death, Orange was known as a man of means. During the early 1900's a man's wealth was also determined by his land acquistions and livestock.
It has been handed down that Orange owned land, livestock, and even was fortunate to own two buggies--one for every day use and the other for Sunday's only.
