U.S. Civil War Draft Registrations, 1863-1865, Perry, Marion County, IN: "William S.Thomas, age on 1 Jul 1863: 23, single."
MILITARY SERVICE:
There are two entries for Civil War service of a "William S. Thomas," but they do not refer to the same individual.
1. William S. Thomas, Co. B, 8th Indiana Inf, Pvt in and Pvt out. Pension application No. 380181 & certificate No. 334903 10 Sep 1888: "Widow Lydia N. Thomas."
[8th Regt. Indiana Inf organized 20 Aug-5 Sep 1861, served in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, northern Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, and mustered out in South Carolina 28 Aug 1865.]
2. William S. Thomas, Co. E, 55th Indiana Inf, Cpl in and Cpl out; Co. K, 139th Indiana Inf.
Pension application No. 1208577, certificate No. 985,439: "19 Jul 1898; no widow." Certificate NO. 985,439, Declaration for Pension, 3 Feb 1917: William S. Thomas . . . born November 18, 1841 at Hancock County, Ohio; [died 6 May 1922 Kimmell, Noble County, IN; buried Wolflake Cemetery]. His several places of residence since leaving the service were Allen County (1864-1871; 1889-1896), [Wolf Lake IN, near Gary IN, in] Noble County IN (1871-1889; 1896-present)." Find-A-Grave contains an image of his gravestone.
Therefore, this particular "William S. Thomas" is definitely not "I462281 William S. Thomas" and is not related to Edward C. Thomas and Catherine Moore.

Indiana State Digital Archives, Marion County Court of Common Pleas:
"25 Jul 1870, E. Ball & Co. v. Robert Thomas, William Thomas, et al, Defendants."
[Wikipedia: "The Ball brothers (Lucius, William, Edmund, Frank, and George) were five American industrialists and philanthropists, who established a manufacturing business in New York and Indiana in the 1880s . . ." They made glass jars for home canning of fruits, vegetables, etc.
Evidently, Robert and William S. were sales agents before the company moved its headquarters from Buffalo, New York to Muncie, Indiana.]
