sounds interesting, but I am not sure we are tracking the same family. From the old letter it further says that son of William wa a doctor of medicine in Clermont Ohio, about 80 miles from there he married a hospital nurse, as far as I know he didn't have any children. His father's wife remained living in Ashley, she had an adopted daughter, she played the organ. not sure how to go forward with this information cheers Jenny in Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 17, 2005 7:01 PM Subject: Re: [OHCLER] Son of William Thomas > Must be a 2nd Wm Thomas,but Col Wm Thomas,ex-sheriff,and ex Elk Lick > miller and distiller,lived on the farm adjoining mine in Tate township to > the > n e.
