John Martin/Mark THOMAS and Matilda Jane Smith THOMAS were my GG-G'parents, and they were from Spartanburg. In checking the census reports lately it seems that they remained in the area of Chick Springs in Greenville Co. for quite a while and then moved to Pickens Co. where their son, Charles L. THOMAS lived. Both John M. THOMAS and Matilda Jane Smith THOMAS died in the summer of 1916 in Pickens Co.. I cannot find where they were buried. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I have checked the Pickens Co. books and had no luck. I realize I may have to order their death certificates if they had them then, but I'm not sure when they started. Thank you!
