  Notes	Thomas served in the Confederacy during the Civil War as a member of Mosby's Raiders in Northern Virginia. He is listed service records as "Thomas Lansdale," in Company D of the Rangers, with no rank, and in Wert as Thomas "Lansdall." He was discharged April 21, 1865 when he was 20, at Appomattox. He is included on the Civil War page. In 1890, the family moved from Triadelphia in Montgomery Co. to a farm near Davidsonville in Montgomery Co. This was because of the 1889 flood (the same that flooded Johnstown, further upriver)--his wife did not want to stay there any more. He died just after the move of Bright's disease. This left his wife with five children aged 10 and younger. For his will, his wife is listed as administratrix; Sureties are Richard H. Lansdale, Thomas S. Iglehart, Charles R. Hartshorne, and Thomas Welsh, MD. Bond was $1,000. [8, 9]
