One of the lines I am working on with some dead ends is the ancestors of Benjamin "Ben" Thomas, born 6 Feb 1822 in Tennessee, died April 1880 in Clay County, Mississippi. His wife was Prudence Valentine, Born 8 jun 1829 in North Carolina and died 19 mar 1908 in Clay County, Mississippi. I have a lot more on the Valentine line, but nothing on Ben. Any help will be appreciated. Richard PS This posting is being sent to several Alabama lists as well as two Thomas lists at the same time. If it doesn't apply to you, please pardon the intrusion.
