Hi Ted, They could easily be related, but I am not sure. My Andrew J., according to the Census was born in Georgia. That said, I also have a Thomas line where one person has three different states of birth listed at different times. Virginia Georgia and Texas! So????? Andrew did finally settle and die in Kentucky. There were 6 children. John H. b. 1844 married Sarah Elizabeth Nichols born Tennessee Malissa Francis b. 1860 married W. A. Morris born Tennessee Rest born in Kentucky Virginia D. (Jennie) b. 1864 married William J. Miller Delilah b. 1866 Married Robert Daniel Nichols (my line) also brother to Sarah Elizabeth) Elizabeth Mary b. 1868 married Milton P. Smith Humphries b. 1870 Apparently never married I am not so sure that the family moved to Kentucky or if the state line was drawn and they found themselves in Kentucky. Merry Christmas or what ever Holy day you celebrate. Virginia in Seattle >
