I have not input all the descendant info on the line of Hans/John Wendel Thomas but wanted to respond to those asking for information. These are the counties and dates for Hans. All of his known children were born before he left Culpeper Co., VA about 1774 or so and they all went to Guilford (now Rockingham) Co. NC. He was married twice -- maiden names unknown -- first to Mary and second to Sarah. Five known sons went to NC with him -- Michael from his first wife and Jesse, Joel, Lewis and William from his second wife. They all served in the Rev. war for NC -- even William who was only about 16 years old.  Michael and Lewis stayed in Rockingham Co., NC and the rest went to Georgia in the late 1790's -- Wilkes, Elbert, Franklin (now Banks) Counties. Joel died in Elbert Co about 1797 or so leaving only a daughter, Susannah. Jesse and William and their descendants remained in the the Franklin Co., GA area to the present time.  If you have any Thomas people in any of these counties -- I'll be glad to look through my notes to see if they connect to Hans but these are the only counties that I have Thomas info on -- as far as descendants of Hans. Take care. Marilyn
