Thomas Henry Jeremiah (b. 1864, d. 1931)

Thomas Henry Jeremiah (son of Jeremiah Jeremiah and Rachel) was born 1864 in Morriston, Glam.¹¹⁶³, and died 1931 in Los Angeles, California. He married Sarah Ann Rees on 11 Oct 1890 in Morriston Baptist Church.

Notes for Thomas Henry Jeremiah:
1881 Census [RG11 5353 folio 103 p68] shows him aged 17 living with his mother and stepfather (Rees Bassett) and brother David at Graig, Clase.

Naturalised US citizen 1897.

US family tradition has it that he arrived on the US West Coast as a ship's organist and jumped ship in Los Angeles. He must have sent for his wife to join him, and it appears he persuaded his mother (once widowed from BASSETT) and his sister Hannah (married name thought to be SCULL - more likely to have been SCULLY, a family in the Llangyfelach area at the time) to join him too.

It is reported that he always asserted his initials stood for Truth, Honesty and Justice!
