That link contains some of the information I was just looking at on 
Newspaperarchive.com. So it must be true. 

Here is something else I found:

Bangor Daily Whig And Courier | 1841-07-15

DEATH'S ALLIES.

Death chose him out nine able friends,
His murderous work to do,
He sent them far o'er sea and land,
And swift on their errand they flew,
There was Brandy and Cordial and Rum and Gin,
And Wine of the rosy hue,
And Punch and Flip, all courting the lip,
And Whiskey called "Mountain dew.'
And some sipped Cordial,
Add some Swigged Brandy,
And some drank Toddy,
Some Tom and Jerry,
Others Rum or the Mountain dew,
Ah! who can tell the countless graves -
They filled with deluded slaves


Does this mean that Jerry Thomas didn't invent the Tom and Jerry? The years 
don't add up.


Cheers!

George S.
