346 Currently unsure if Thomas is a son of William Allcock Slater

Thomas is not mentioned on his Father's will.

I find no record of his baptism or burial (apart from a ref on Find A Grave)

There is a corresponding burial record for Ockbrook with the correct dates but unconfirmed it is the same person

348 Curtiss-Wedge, F.; Jones, Geo. O. (ed.) / History of Dunn County, Wisconsin 1925 page 682

Isaac Adams. an early settler and farmer in the town of Dunn, where he lived for many years as a live factor in the agricultural improvement of the town, was a native of Scotland who came to this county about 1861. In 1886 he married Jane Cunningham, who was born in Canada and had come to Dunn County with her parents in 1860.

After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Adams settled on a farm in Section 4, town of Dunn, or, rather, upon a tract of government land of 80 acres which they proceeded to convert into a farm. Mr. Adams building a log house and log barn among the trees. It was a true pioneer beginning under the most primitive conditions and there lay before them a long road to travel ere they arrived at the goal of their wishes--the possession of a comfortable home and a flourishing and productive farm. But under the stimulus of hope they pushed forward, Mr. Adams clearing his land as fast as he was able. HIs winters were spent at logging in the woods, whereby he earned money for the support of his family during the hardest period before the farm was sufficiently developed to yield them a living. As time passed he added 40 acres more in the town of Dunn and 40 acres in Eau Galle, making a farm of 160 acres.

In the meantime he and his wife had children growing up, two sons and two daughters, but the eldest son and child died in boyhood, and it was the second son Robert D., upon whom the father depended for aid as the years went by. Together they added another 80 acres to the farm thus making
a farm of 240 acres. The place was being improved in many other ways. The log buildings were giving place to good frame structures, Mr. Adams' house being the first framed dwelling in the neighborhood.

In 1903, when nearly at the end of his active career, Mr. Adams built a good basement barn, with a ground plan of 34x60 feet. He farmed only two years longer, retiring in 1905 and taking up his residence in Downsville, where his good wife and helpmate passed away on March 21, 1908.

He survived her less than a year, dying
March 7, 1909. Though not distinguished above their neighbors, they belonged to that class of hard-working, law abiding people that form the backbone of any civilized community and whose work counts for more in the end than the brilliant exploits of the many of the most erratic genius. The world may in time forget them but, their work will live on and benefit the generations to come.

The children of Mr. & Mrs. Adams, to whom causal reference has already been made , were four in number:
James who died at the age of 13:
Robert D., the present proprietor of the old home farm: Sarah E. now the wife of Dr. J. P. Denham of Boyceville: and Jessie, now Mrs. Jesse Howard of Red Wing, Minn.
