Thomas Almon Sr m Mary Sansum(Samsom, Stanson) in 1784 in Louise Co, VA. Their son James (listed at the bottom of your genealogy with the date 1818) was born in 1791 in Christian Co, KY; he married a woman named Rebecca (last name unknown) and they had a son William, b 1816. It is THIS William Almon who married Jane "Jincy" Alexander (both Williams are found on the 1850, 1860, and 1870 census. Jane died in 1869, William in 1887. It does not appear that they had children as they are invariably found on the census with children "living in" with them. William Almon who marries Susannah Wood (my ancestor) had no other wife. The Jasper Almon you have listed as his son was John J Almon, Minister of the Gospel and is found on the census lists as John Almon. In addition to the children you have listed for William and Susannah they also had Jemima, Ruth, and Job. Their son Bennett married Margaret Armstrong, probably related to Maranda Armstrong who married the earlier Bennett Almon. The Thomas Almon who married Rachel Malinda Givens is the son of William Almon and Susannah Woods. He was born in 1840, she in 1844, and they married about 1860. Thomas Benton Almon who married Susan I Williams in 1878 is indeed the son of Bennett and Maranda. A cousin to the other Thomas Almon, Thomas Benton was born in 1849. The person who appears on your list as Arnest Almon, married Cynthia Barr is Nathan Arnett Almon, b 1803. However, he may be the same person who appears on the 1870 census (after having moved away and returned to the area) as Bennett Almon b 1803 living with a daughter Nancy C(aroline) b 1837 and a probable grandson John. The Sarah Murphy who married William Almon (2) b 1787 is probably the Sally Almon who later married Thomas Fletchall. In addition, Thomas Almon and Mary Sansum had a daughter Nancy, who married William Moutray b app 1777, brother of Zachariah Moutray. Zachariah's grandson Johnson Moutray (b 1834) married Mary Ann Almon, b 1836, daughter of John Almon b 1811 and his wife Rebecca Hartman. In addition, Thomas and Mary had Elizabeth Almon, b about 1794, who married Tandy Holman. The Edward Butner who married their daughter Martha was one of four adopted Butner children taken in by Thomas and Mary. Although I have an extremely lengthy family genealogy prepared by a descendant of Bennett and Maranda Armstrong Almon, I have included only those families where I have been able to verify relationships with legal or census documentation. I hope this information will be helpful to you, as I note that you have extensive information on Posey Co families that you are pleased to share with other people. If you find anything in my information that you feel is questionable, please let me know. By the way, at least two descendants of Samuel Sansom Almon (who settled in Christian Co KY) migrated to Posey Co after the Civil War.
