He used the names J. Thomas and Thomas most often. He was married to Caroline last name unknown, born about 1839, and they had Nancy Emmeline Shumate in Apr 1860 and Thomas M Shumate in 1865. I am looking for Caroline's last name. James Thomas Shumate's father was John Shumate, born about 1815 in Virginia. Thanks.
