Does anyone have a source listing Elizabeth as the mother? It seems the father had two wives, but I have yet to see evidence that Elizabeth is the correct mother. Does anyone have a birth order for Thomas's siblings?

Elizabeth is clearly listed as the mother of Joseph, who was born before Joseph. Although there isn't a record, it's quite clear that Elizabeth was Thomas's mother.
