  These censuses have his birth about 1856-7.  This is commonly reported by genealogies.  I found one fairly detailed genealogy, however, that has a birth date in 1853 for Thomas.  The 1920 census record that appears to be for him has his age as 68, which would put birth about 1852.  The following genealogy record reports him correctly as the son of George Washington Boren and Rachel Davis.  Matilda's age in the 1920 census matches the genealogy birth date of 1861.
