Miss Meow Would you be so kind as to check your byrd book of VA and see if there are any Thomas Birds in it? and if so what are the dates? I am interested in these thomas birds in the era of 1500 to 1650! I know from past research on families that many that went to VA also have relatives that went to the north in Mass. Conn and RI.
