Linda, My Boatwrights were in the areas of ABBEVILLE and EDGEFEILD Counties in South Carolina and in Washington County in Georgia. I see some Thomas's, but don't relate to an Amy and Thomas and don't show any one of mine in Texas. I have seen these names and places all over the Internet, but didn't connect any of them with my line. I have recently found or he found me, Jerry BOATWRIGHT. His research on the Boatwrights have led me in a new direction. If what he has told me is right, I come from a Thomas BOATWRIGHT (1705) from Chesterfield County, South Carolina. Their are some many Boatwrights (Boatwrights) and so little time. If you look at some of Jerry's bulletin board messages (his email address is Knotzi000@aol.com) you might find what you are looking for. Diane Boatwright Amos
