Hi Tony and all Tony, you are a legend. Many thanks for posting the THOMAS wills. It helped me to eliminate a "possible" connection that I had earlier considered. I have corrected my THOMAS of Camborne tree, which can be seen at: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~peterpjw/FHthomascamborne.html That possible connection was that my Jane THOMAS bapt 19 May 1766 at Camborne may have been the one who married William VINCENT, but the will you posted disproves that. Earlier, I had included William VINCENT on my web page (hoping that someone would challenge it if wrong). Too bad if other researchers blindly copied it!! ;-) I hope I'm right with Richard LUKE as husband for my Jane's sister Mary THOMAS - nobody has challenged it to date! Keep them coming, Tony!

Hi Peter I had gone with the same Jane THOMAS for the wife of William VINCENT and had to change my tree too! Can I bother you about Mary RULE while I'm on this THOMAS clan? You have Mary the daughter of John RULE and Mary PERKING (baptised 29 Mar 1725) as the wife of John THOMAS, marrying in 1760. I know you must have your reasons. There are researchers out there who think that John THOMAS actually married a much younger Mary RULE, the daughter of Henry RULE and Mary BORLASE, baptised on 28 Mar 1742. I think whichever Mary RULE it is, we get quickly back to the same ancestry, as John RULE (b 1694) is a half-brother of Henry (b 1710/11). Naming patterns do suggest it is the older Mary (she had a brother called Stephen, a name appearing in the next THOMAS generation). And of course her last child is born in 1766, which would be early if it is the younger Mary. Have you any other thoughts that would make this more conclusive? As for the identity of John THOMAS, husband of Mary RULE, one feels very little hope.... all the best Tony Tony Bennett Cheshire, UK -----Original Message----- From: Peter J Williams <[email protected]> To: cornish-gen <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, 5 Oct 2012 11:41 Subject: [CORNISH-GEN] THOMAS of Camborne wills from Tony Bennett Hi Tony and all Tony, you are a legend.
