Surnames: Thomas, Calloway, Dailey Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QKB.2ACI/401.1 Message Board Post: In response to my earlier message which stated that Micajah Thomas' first wife may have been Ann Calloway, I need to add something to clarify. Estate papers for Micajah Thomas state that his "father in law" Alford Calloway filed for administration papers. So, I assumed this was Ann Thomas' maiden name. However, the estate papers for Micajah's wife, Ann M. Thomas, state that her "father", John Douglass Dailey, was administrator. Could "father in law" mean stepfather? Looking for information on this family. Thanks!

Specifically, I'd like to know if Micajah is related to Thomases of Noxubee Co. According to estate papers in Noxubee, Micajah lived in Whorton Co., TX. He died on the steamship Nautilus. His father-in-law, Alford Calloway of Noxubee, filed administration papers on his estate. So, I'm assuming that Micajah's wife, Ann, was nee Calloway. Ann was also deceased when Micajah died in the 1850s. The administrator of her estate was John Dailey. Papers state that Micajah's father was Francis Thomas. Any help in explaining how Micajah and others are tied to Noxubee residents is greatly appreciated.

He was 28 and unmarried, born in Kentucky. Since your Thomas' son, John Francis was born in 1848 and that is the only date you seem to have I would say we need to be looking for another Thomas Phillips. However, I have not yet looked for him (the one in the 1850 census) in the 1860 census. He may be the one who married Lucy Ann Quick in 1851. However, I still can't be sure Lucy Ann was the daughter of the Martin Quick I'm tracking. Still need to do more research.
