Bill According to my records [much of it unproven by me] the Henry THOMAS and Andrew THOMAS that you reference are first cousins, but on the FIKE side. My 2GGF Henry THOMAS [1826-1910] is the son of Henry THOMAS sr & Rebecca FIKE. Andrew THOMAS is the son of Jacob Michael THOMAS & Mary FIKE. I have ten children for Jacob FEICK & Eve Moyer, and have six of their children marrying THOMASes: ElizabethFIKE +Abraham THOMAS, son of George Henry THOMAS & Veronica SAYLOR JacobFIKE, jr Catherine "Katy" THOMAS, daughter of Alexander THOMAS &Elizabeth MEYER Mary FIKE +JacobMichael THOMAS, son of Michael THOMAS & Magdelena MAUST CatherineFIKE +Jacob A. THOMAS, son of Alexander THOMAS & Elizabeth MEYER Rebecca FIKE+Henry THOMAS, sr, son of Alexander THOMAS & Elizabeth MEYER Abraham FIKE +Mary"Polly" THOMAS, daughter of Alexander THOMAS & Elizabeth MEYER My 3GGF Henry THOMAS is the son of Alexander THOMAS & Elizabeth MEYER. My 4GGF Alexander THOMAS is the son of Alexander THOMAS & Catherine Elizabeth BASHORE. So the Henry and Andrew that you reference are second cousins on the THOMAS side.

Thanks. It is Allegany county in Md. Their records are mostly on family search.org. You might put a query on their board. There are still a lot of Phillips on Monongalia County. Let me think abt this. :) Beverly Sent from my iPad On Oct 24, 2013, at 10:59 AM, "Christine" <cwelch@neo.rr.com> wrote: > Thanks for the reply, my only two names are Phillips and Snodgrass.

I'm sorry I should have been more specific...I have Henry Snodgrass b. 1816 I don't know anything about who his parents were, family lore has it that his mother might have been a Mingo Indian. His father was born in Scotland. Elizabeth Phillips, Henry's wife, was born 1818 in Allegheny Co., Md and she may have been the daughter of a Jacob Phillips b. 1775.

Thanks for the reply, my only two names are Phillips and Snodgrass. These families were both in Monongalia County by the 1840 census. The Phillips family was in Allegheny Co Md. previous to that and I am not sure where the Snodgrasses were, that's one of my big puzzles. I know they were in Hampshire Co. Va.(W)in 1825 and possibly in Jefferson Co Va.(W) before that. I have been researching for 30 years and have had very little success in finding information about either of these families.

I don't post here too often as I have not been able to prove that my ancestors were Brethren but I suspect that some were. I also know that they were following the iron ore furnace work from the 1820's or so onward. They were in the northern Shenandoah Valley in the early 1800's. Eventually coming into Monongalia Co along the Cheat River. Do any of you know much about others who were in this area, who were doing the same? Thank you Christine in NE Ohio

All I need is $1,950 ..Let me know if you can get me the money then I tell you how to get it to me. I'm freaked out at the moment Regards.

This might be the German Baptist congregation on Cove Road in Roanoke County. They hosted the German Baptist Annual Conference several years ago. My family came out of this congregation too.

Thank you, Craig. I hoping to find a history. I thought it was in Allegany Passage or another history book.
