I looked at wills in the courthouse at Newberry on Friday morning of the weekend of the Homecoming of 2008. I actually copied the date filed, the name of the estate, the executor/administrator, box#, and Estate # of six Thomas wills...filed 1795-1817....then made the note that there are more Thomas wills in the early to mid 1800's....but here are the ones that I copied: 1796 Nehemiah Thomas with executrix Abigail Thomas ( I know this man to be brother/uncle to my Sarah Thomas McKinsey) 1803 John Thomas with admr. Sameul Beeks 1805 Abel Thomas with executors T. Thomas and S. Gaunt (When I copied this I didn't know that the during the weekend I would get to know the Gaunt family so well...) ( I made a copy of the original of this will) 1817 Ann Thomas with William Reagan Executor 1817 Daniel Thomas with Henry and William Grey Admrs. 1795 Joseph Thompson with Richard Thomas Admr. (I know that the Thompson and Thomas family were interrelated as I have a transcription from a book for Joseph Thompson OK I just looked at Abel Thomas's will briefly and see on the very front that the executors are Timothy Thomas, Samuel Guant and Jacob Hawkins.....wow....I know all of those names. What I don't know yet is if Abel Thomas is related to my Sarah Thomas McKinsey. Marsha
Marsha, You and I have exchanged in the past. My Newberry S.C. ancestor was Nathaniel/Nathan Thomas (1766-1824). His second wife was Ann who died in 1817. She had been the second wife and was the widow of Joshua Inman when she married Nathan Thomas abt 1814. I notice in your list of Thomas wills "Ann Thomas, 1817". Could this be my Ann? If so, how can I obtain a copy of that will? Thank you. Jim Thomas. ----- Original Message ----- From: "marsha moses" <[email protected]> To: "bush river mail list" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2008 9:02 AM Subject: [SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS] Thomas Wills in Newberry >I looked at wills in the courthouse at Newberry on Friday morning of the > weekend of the Homecoming of 2008.
