How can I have several "From" email addresses for only one account?
I mapped my other email addresses to gmail but then moved to Thunderbird and mapped my gmail to Thunderbird. In gmail I had the option of having my mapped email addresses in the drop-down for my "From" field so I could respond from the different email accounts. I didn't have to make a new or extra account in gmail to do this. Can I do this in Thunderbird? I haven't been able to find out how without having to make new accounts.

Many people have more than one email addresses possibly on different servers and in Thunderbird they create a mail account for each email address. This means they can receive emails from various email address and servers and see them all in one view. No need to send/forward everything from other email addresses to gmail server.
However it is possible to use 'Identities'.
I've included two links which discuss 'Identites' and I believe this is what you are looking for.

You will notice the articles mention: 'Tools > Account Settings' This is the route used if you are using the 'Menu bar' toolbar.
Other methods reaching 'Account Settings' in no particular order of preference.
- Left click on mail account name in Folder Pane and select 'View settings for this account'
- Right click on mail account in Folder Pane and select 'Settings'
- Menu icon (3 lines) > Options > Account Settings
