Left Virginia for Brown County, Indiana in 1830. Early 1845 left Indiana for Missouri. Found a cave as he was following Bryant Creek. Camped within the mouth of the cave while building a blacksmith shop with the help of his neighbors. Tom was the first blacksmith in the area. Rockbridge, MO is nearby, along Bryant Creek. Tom was a Methodist Minister, holding church services in Brown's Cave, and was often referred to as "Parson Brown." He disliked slavery, which may have been the reason he left Virginia. In the 1860s he was very active with the Underground Railroad, helping escaped slaves to freedom in the north. Received his Honorable Discharge from the Union Army 9 Mar 1865; had enlisted 17 Aug 1864 into Co H 46 Regiment MO Infantry Volunteers; stated he was 10 years younger than he acually was at the time. He was a man of considerable prominence, and held the office of Justice of the Peace and was Judge of Ozark County for some years.
