Hi folks, I'm hoping to find some clue about the ancestry of one Thomas N. Straughan, b. about 1820, m. on 18 Jan 1847 in Westmoreland Co., VA, Sarah J. (or E.) Oldham. Thomas died sometime between 1855 and 1860. His mother might have been named Ann, because there was an Ann Straughan, age 66, living in Thomas's household in 1850, according to the federal census. Sarah (Oldham) Straughan died on 14 Nov 1906 and is buried in Oldhams, Westmorlend Co., VA. There were plenty of Straughans early in Middlesex and Westmoreland Counties, but so far I haven't been able to connect them to Thomas. Any ideas? Thanks, Sam Brainerd
