I know nothing nore about Almeron Thomas, wife Lois & son Fred A. other than what is contained in the 1880 census listing on Familysearch.org, the LDS site. It gives Almeron's age as 67, Lois 49, Fred A. 11or 12. All born NY, with Almeron's parents born MA. Perhaps you could find earlier wife and family in a 1860 or previous census.
