Diane, Sorry to hear about your computer troubles. It's not fun. I'll be here when you can send the ELLIS file you have. I have not found any SPARKS yet. Sorry. Have you found out yet what Lettie is short for? This is what I have on the THOMAS family, I'm not even sure which one is the right THOMAS family that my Sarah is really from. Sarah(Sally) THOMAS b:1/27/1838 + William P. ELLIS on 9/14/1857 in Ohio Co, Ky. Sarah died 3/30/1897 and is buried w/William in the Kelly Cemetery at Maceo, Ky (Daviess Co.) Their marriage records shows her given name as Sally THOMAS. I have found a Sarah THOMAS in both Hancock and Ohio Counties in Kentucky in 1850 as just about the right age. Since Sarah/Sally THOMAS ELLIS was born in 1838, she would be 11 or 12 in 1850. THOMAS family 1850 Hancock Co, Ky census: THOMAS, Doctor S. 38-blacksmith b:1812? Margaret 39 1811? William S.14 1836? Sarah R. 12 1838? Mary E. 10 1840? Emily 6 1844? THOMAS family 1850 Ohio Co, Ky: William Daniel 54 (1896?) Farmer Kentucky Sarah 57 (1893?) " Benjamin 18 (1832?) " Thomas 15 (1835?)
