What are your Thomas conncetions? I am a direct decendant of Joseph Thomas b. April 15, 1818 N.C., both of his parents are listed in cencus data as being from S.C., Joseph married Rachel Susan Adams whose Adams family was from Pendalton, S.C. He married her Oct. 5, 1842 in Habersham Cty., Ga. The families relocated together about the same time and I have every reason to believe that his parents were in this area of S.C. but I don't know their names nor do I know any of Joseph's siblings. We believe his middle name to be Riley. Any connections? Lucinda Thomas Schaefer The other surname groups can also be placed in S.C. and married into the different families.
