I also have a Thomas Henry ancestor, but I can't verify that it's the same one.My family is still based in or around Paducah, KY, and have been for some time.The problem with researching this area is that there was a fire that destroyed the Benton County courthouse in the mid-1800s, and a great number of records were lost.You might contact them to see what they do still have, though I didn't have much luck when I tried years ago.I simply have very little oral history collected from my grandfather, Robert Henry McElrath, before he died in 1987.Good luck to you.
