Posted on: Whiteside Co. Illinois Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Whiteside/672 Surname: Thomas ------------------------- Would it be possible for someone to look in the 1850, 1860, and 1870 Whiteside Co. census in the Mt Pleasant TWP and find the family of Francis Marion Thomas. He was the son of Geirge(or George ?) W. Thomas and Mary Paschal Thomas. His obit says that he was the oldest of 11 children, two of which died in childhood. I would like to know the names, etc, of the children, and where Geirge W. and Mary where born or where they came from. I am trying to find out if they are related to Edwin and Sarah Thomas of Newton TWP as Francis was the executor of Edwin's will. Thank you very much for your help.

Martha, Thanks so much for the information about the Betts surname being common in Norwalk, Fairfield Co., CT. Every lead helps, and I appreciate you taking the time and effort to help, and share your knowledge. I also want to say what a great list this is, and I am proud to be a part of it. Everyone is so helpful; and there has never been any criticism or anything close to a "flame war", which I have seen on other lists. Thanks, again. Cheryl F. Luginbill Midland, TX
