 21 October 1839 - ??
Thomas L Dolby was born about 31 October 1839 in Westchester PA according to the Pension Papers. I'm not sure who he belongs to but it appears his mothers maiden name might have been Osborn? He married Julia Ann Davis 8 September 1869 in Downington, Chester Co PA. I had a thought that he might be the son of Thomas Dolby & Rachel Mechlin from Chester/Clarion PA.
