I had a cousin who insisted he was the one and I ordered books from the Genealogy Library and printed everything I could find in order to convence her the Philemon's Thomas was not our Thomas. They were some Bradford's in Orange County NC who used the name Thomas a lot, but I haven't been able to make that connection either. I'm beginning to think my Thomas was indeed found in a cabbage patch. Nancy
