Hello Edith: I do hope you see this - I lost your e mail addy. In the book (which our society published) is this: Register of Births and Stillbirths 1883-1887 - Harriet H Thomas, Midwife. Delivered Mary Thomas, the 2nd born child, of EL(z)adia Smith Thomas and Reuben Thomas at Bellevue on 1 February 1887. This large family had also W G Thomas, who was a med dr in Bellevue and Moses Thomas who was a physician and then Harriet who was also a Dr., cum midwife. Very interesting family. On 1850 Washington Co Mo census is a Reuben G age 3 son of Moses Thomas and Susan L, he was born in Mo his parents were born in Va and his father was the physician. There is also a Reuben on this census who is age 41 born in Va and married to Rebecca. And there are probably some more Reubens, we just have to find them..... Happy Hunting - Jeanette.
