As I've told you before, all those names are found in the Michael THOMAS line and your Thurston almost HAS to be either a son or grandson of his. Roland THOMAS married a Jane THURSTON in Orange Co. Va in 1757, Plummer THOMAS (listed in many accounts as a son of Michael's, was born in 1771, Plummer had a son named Roland AND a son named Thurston, either of which could have been born as early as 1790 since we have no date for Plummer's marriage. All the info I have found on those first names: Plummer, Thurston, Roland, is in Lewis/Mason Co. Ky. The theory that the Michael THOMAS line is English is almost certainly bogus since the extensive Germanna records have repeated references to Michael. The supposed English connection dates from some erroneous conclusions in earlier and unverified research that ignored the Germanna information. Sue
