Thanks to the help of a lister, I have obtained an image of an ancestor, Thomas THOMAS, a private in Co. H, 76th Rgmt. Ohio Vol. Inf., who perished in the explosion of the steamship Sultana: http://home.att.net/~rpdonnell/images/tthomas.jpg I realize no one else will be as interested in this photo as I am, but because my great-grandfather Charles THOMAS was quite young when his father died and was separated from his family soon thereafter, the information I have been able to gather on Thomas THOMAS has been quite sketchy so far. This photo represents quite a breakthrough, and I wanted to share it! On the hope that a cousin may recognize a connection, I will list the children of Thomas THOMAS according to his widow's pension application: William E. THOMAS b. Apr. 1854 Mary E. THOMAS b. Apr. 1856 Ann THOMAS b. July 1858 Sarah THOMAS b. May 1860 Isaac THOMAS b. Dec. 1861 Charles THOMAS b. Nov. 1863 Ronald Thomas Donnell Cave Creek, Arizona mailto:rpdonnell@att.net
