Who and when were they in Washington Co,NY? Sylvanus Thomas (b Feb 20, 1768) and wife Betsey Pierce migrated from Middleboro, Plymouth Co, MA through Washington Co,NY(on the1800 census) and settled in Pulteney, Steuben Co,NY. They had 11 children, one being Sylvanus Thomas(b abt 1796) who married Nancy (b 1800 CT; prob Nancy Judd...daughter of Rev Benjamin Judd & wife Sybil). We have not researched Sylvanus Thomas' (b 1768 MA) siblings. My sister recently located an 1874 Madison, Lake Co, OH land transcaction between J. N. or M. Thomas (wife Rebecca) and William B. Thomas. We believe that this William B(enjamin) Thomas is the brother of Calvin Sylvanus Thomas. Their wives were Lyon sisters from Stueben Co,NY, where they were married. I believe that J. M/N Thomas with wife Rebecca is the John M. Thomas, living in Ostego Co, NY in 1850 and possibly (?) is the son of James H. Thomas. He is living in Madison in 1860 & 1870. ? Brothers...Calvin & Delos Thomas. Some of this family is buried in Madison, Lake Co,OH. We have just recently started exploring any possible relationship between these Thomas families in Lake County. I would appreciate your input. Thank you, Sandi
