  Notes	Thomas appears in the Ray-Compton Family tree at ancestry as "Cary Harrison or Thomas J Minter". It's unclear why this is so except that in the 1870 census entry below, which seems to relate to this person, the head of the household is shown as Cary. And in the 1880 census, it's 'C H Minter'. 1850 United States Federal Census: in District 2, Graves, Kentucky (all MINTER), Thomas (39, farmer, born Tennessee), Amanda (27, born Tennessee), Lucy (10, born Tennessee), Mary (5, born Kentucky), Florence (1, born Kentucky), George (9, born Tennessee), William (7, born Tennessee), Zachary (4, born Tennessee) and James (27, farmer, born Tennessee). I think the non-standard listing of the children is simply to group together the girls then the boys). James was Thomas's brother. 1860 United States Federal Census: not found. 1870 United States Federal Census (indexed as MEUTER by ancestry): in Farmington, Graves, Kentucky (all MINTER), Cary [Thomas - see note above] (55, farmer, born Kentucky), Manda (44, keeping house, born Kentucky), Florence (20, at home, born Kentucky), Cary (19, born Kentucky), Elias (17, at home, born Kentucky), Eugene (15, at home, born Kentucky), Beaugard (13, at home, born Kentucky), Jeff D (11, at home, born Kentucky), James (8, born Kentucky) and Lewella (4, born Kentucky). On the same page as all these children is listed Zachary (23) with his wife and daughter - probably Thomas's son. Also listed is a black woman Henrietta MINTER (26) with two Minter children both black. 1880 United States Federal Census : in Farmington, Graves, Kentucky (all MINTER), C H [Thomas - see note above] (69, farmer, born Tennessee), J B (21, son, farm hand, born Kentucky), D (19, son, farm hand, born Kentucky), James (16, son, farm hand, born Kentucky) and Ella (12, daughter, at home, born Kentucky). Also Adolphus (12, grandson, farm hand, born Kentucky). From 1880 census it would seem that Amanda, Thomas's wife, died in the 1870s. Thomas himself died on 30 May 1891 according to the Ray-Compton Family tree.
