I have a note from the Somerset Co. MD marriage records which states that Mahalia Thomas married Clement Cannon on May 21, 1844. Another note says that Isaac and Nancy (Thomas) Cannon, originally from Sussex Co. DE, moved to Indiana in the mid-1830's. If anyone has information on the above two Thomas ladies and their children I would like to hear from you. Kathy

I have looked at both books before....I will reread what you have sent as soon as I can....but I have a busy two days-- today and tomorrow. The last time that I was looking at the books that you mention below, I think that I remember that I began suspecting that I descend from the Edward Thomas who is mentioned in your #7 note below. Why did I think that? As I recall the following clues came to me: Edward's wife's name was Sarah. My Sarah Thomas McKinsey (Sarah is my brick wall) could possibly have been named after a mother.... I have found Edward's land in SC living among the following Thomas men: Nehemiah, Thomas, Isaac and Timothy. There are also many Quaker names that I recognize. I would be happy to send those names along if it would be helpful. I believe that Edward sold his land and moved to the area near Guilford County, NC again among Quaker families there. I believe that Edward had a son named Edward as he is mentioned in Nehemiah Thomas's will. I think that it is quite possible that Sarah had married George McKinsey by the time that Edward and his family moved to NC and thus stayed behind in SC. Sarah died before the rest of the family moved to Warren County, OHio in the mass migration of the Quakers out of the south and into Ohio and Indiana in the first decade of the 1800's. But the fact that George and Sarah Thomas McKinsey remained extremely close to the childless couple, Nehemiah and Abigail Thomas and by the fact that Abigail is called aunt-in-law in her will when she leaves everything to George and his children in Ohio (she was living on land that she had bought from George at the time)....makes me think that Nehemiah is a brother to Sarah. Some of this information is fact--based on documentation....some of it is wild guesses that I am making. When I get more time, if you would like more precise information, I'll try to clean this paragraph up so that you will see what is documented fact and what is speculation. Sorry, that's all the time that I have this morning. Thanks a million for taking the time to send along all of the below! You are welcome to post anything that is helpful from my e-mail to the Thomas list. I just feel as if my undocumented information is not that helpful to archive....I have posted more than once questions looking for someone who descends from either of the two Edwards in NC and recieved no response.

I am descended from the THOMAS family in Frederick VA, whom I believe is the same as the Evan THOMAS family everyone is talking about. I can share the following two excerpts on the family of Evan THOMAS, in hopes someone might make a connection (and perhaps help me make a connection!). Please copy all replies to the list, the more we share the more we know: 1. Historical Records of Old Frederick and Hampshire Counties, Virginia (Revised)" by Wilmer L. Kerns, Ph.D. p. 357 "Evan THOMAS was born in Wales circa 1685 and died in Frederick County, Va. on 'the 4th day of the second month 1755, aged about seventy years.' * Born into the Church of England, Evan later became a Quaker convert and minister. His former house still stands along US Route 11 just north of Winchester Va." The quote is appparently footnoted, but I only have a few pages of the book and no footnotes unfortunately. 2. Evan's relationship to Lewis THOMAS (my ancestor) is pure speculation based on the following facts from "Pioneers of Old Frederick Co. VA" by Cecil O'Dell, but the facts in this book are very well documented and detailed on the early Evan THOMAS family and their land records, and may help someone. There is a bit of info about the John Smith and John Hardin lines intermixed as they marry into my Lewis THOMAS family, but keep reading for the THOMAS details: 1. John Hardin is first recorded in Orange Co. VA on 11-22-1740 when he purchases 380 acres of land from Nathaniel THOMAS. John Hardin and Nathaniel THOMAS share tract 55, Map no. 7 (Winchester area to Opechon Creek). 2. John above executed the carpentry and joyner's work on the 12 foot square log Court House for Frederick County. 3. He sold this land, bought another tract, sold it to Thomas Ashby, then bought 285 acres of William Vestal's patent land in partnership with George Johnston who also had land dealings with Lewis THOMAS. 4. John Hardin and wife Catherine sold this land and moved to Hampshire Co VA by 5-7-1765. By 1773 he has moved to Bedford Co. PA (40 miles north) where he received his Fairfax grant for 100 acres on Patterson Creek. His son John Hardin Jr. received a Fairfax grant also surveyed for Mark Hardin. By virtue of 1 through 5 above, I place this John Hardin as husband of Catherine Marr, and father of Mary Hardin who marries Owen THOMAS, son of Lewis THOMAS. In this history there are also many references to William Penn and the Quaker beginnings of PA, Goshen Twp., Chester Co PA and Hopewell Meeting House in Frederick VA. This is relayed as background for the following. 6. John Smith of Cecil County Maryland and wife Jane, with daughter Jane Jr.(?) were witnesses at a wedding on the 11th of Dec. 1735 at their public meeting at Hopewell in Orange Co VA. John and Jane were both Quakers and are mentioned in the Chester Monthly Meeting Minutes. John Smith after selling his land in Cecil Co MD buys land in the Opequon Creek area and lives near John Hardin on Tract 11 Map 4. 7. John Smith Jr inherits this land from his father, and sells it to an Edward THOMAS. John Smith and Edward have several land transactions between them. Edward THOMAS and wife Sarah sell this land in addition to their own Fairfax grant and move eventually to S. Carolina. 8. Evan THOMAS was born in Wales c. 1685 and came to Philadelphia Co. PA abt. 1719. He and his wife Catherine moved to Goshen Monthly Meeting in Chester Co. PA. abt. 1724. Sometime before 10-18-1734 and after 1726, Evan moves to VA to the Frederick Co. land which John Hardin and John Smith are living on on 1040 acres on west side of Opechon. On 12 Nov 1735 he receives a patent from the Colony for 1014 acres (Tract 63 Map 4). This land is located in Frederick Co VA on Turkey Run (a branch of Opequon Creek). 9. Evan THOMAS dies by 4-1-1755 when his will is proved. He lists sons Evan Jr., John, Thomas and Enos, and daughter Martha. Evan is known to have other children not listed in the will, a daughter Mary for certain who marries John Hiatt Jr. 10. This Enos THOMAS is the Enos who marries Rachel. He inherits a portion of his father's land in Frederick. He and wife Rachel have children Catherine, Evan, and Phebe. He dies on 23 March 1763. 11. John THOMAS, son of Evan also inherits a portion of the land. His wife is named Else. They sell their land and move to North Carolina. 12. Lewis THOMAS is first mentioned in the records on 23 April 1734. He is living in Orange County. He purchases land from Josh Hite (Tract 90 Map 4). Lewis then sells the land to George Johnston (see John Hardin above also deals with George Johnston) who then sells it to Geo. Washington. This land is on the North Fork (Tract 90B) 13. Lewis THOMAS mortgages horses and cattle to John Smith on Aug 4 1746. 14. On 8 Jan 1752, an Owen THOMAS listed as son of Lewis THOMAS receives a Fairfax grant for 400 acres adjacent Capt. George Johnston and Benjamin Grub, surveryed by Mr. George Washington. This land is adjacent west of Tract 76 Map 3, and adjacent south of Lewis THOMAS Tract 90A Map 4. Owen and Mary have sold all of their land by 7 Aug. 1771. 15. An Owen THOMAS is described as deceased in Orange Co. NC by April 1769 with wife Mary and six small children. Listed children: Hester, Joana, Lewis, Jonathon, John, Elizabeth and older sons William, James, George and Mikle, older daughters Mary Hood and Ann Wicks. Connection is not made to previous Owen, unknown. 16. On 24 Oct 1735 Isaac THOMAS had 200 acres surveyed and received a Fairfax grant on 9 May 1752. This land is located on Back Creek at the mouth of Isaac's Creek, which was named for THOMAS (Tract 196, Map 5) Isaac was in Orange Co VA by 10-19-1736 when he was paid by the Court for one wolf head, certified by Josh Hite. 17. Nathaniel THOMAS b. c. 1710 received a patent for 380 acre tract from the Colony on 12 Nov. 1735. This land was located on Redbud Run a branch of the Opequon Creek. (Tract 55, Map 7). On 22 Nov 1755 Nathaniel sells this land to John Hardin for 42 pounds. He moves to another tract of 850 acres, Tract 147A Map 8. This land is near the head of the Opequon Creek on Frederick Co. Highway 622 present day near Winchester VA. He also buys land from Josh Hite and receives Fairfax grants. He is deceased by March 1 1763 when his will is proved in Frederick court. He lists as sons Isaac and Jonathon, daughters Catherine Emrey, Rachel, Elizabeth and Mary THOMAS.

I found the following about Tristram Thomas in the Book A History of South Carolina Baptist, Page 140. After the revolution, Baptist of the Welsh Neck made their strength felt in politics. Major (later Colonel and general) Tristram Thomas, William Thomas, William Dewitt, Morgan Brown, and Robert Ellison served in the Senate between 1783 and 1800. And on page 80. Red Bank Church, continuing or replacing Mine Creek to some extent, was, according to tradition, constituted in 1784 under Rev. John or Josiah Thomas as pastor, that alter was excommunicated for immorality in 1792. This church was near the Little Saludy River.

Is anyone working on this THOMAS? John McDaniel Thomas was the son of William Hunsucker and Nancy Willis Thomas and was born in Yancey County North Carolina September 5, 1843 and died 12/26/1925 in Union County Georgia. Would like to share notes. Leslie Thomas "Tell me and I'll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I'll understand.-" Native American Proverb

Does anyone on this list have the plat map with lot numbers for the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery for Bailey's District or 2nd District, Laurens Co., GA? Another THOMAS researcher kindly shared a Harvard's District 22 plat map, to locate where my CHARNAL H. THOMAS [1827 - 1866] was living on the 1860 Census. Now, I am searching for this plat map with land lot number for his father, WILLIAM L. THOMAS [1789 - 1866]. Sam Thomas Roswell, Georgia 770-643-8880

I am looking for the whereabouts of my grandfather Rice Thomas in 1900. He was born November 4, 1883 in Laurel County KY. In the 1900 Census taken in June he would be age 16. Rice was a Coal Miner and he told me that he started at age 11 working in the mines. His father Lafayette Thomas died March 19, 1888 in Laurel County KY. His mother is Elizabeth Jane Isaacs born December 13, 1849, Jackson County KY. Brothers and sister are as listed: Leander 1871 Elijah J. 1873 Gelina 1876 Samuel 1878 William 1880 Anderson 1886 Isaac Bluford 1887 In the 1900 Laurel County KY Census, District 157, Mag District 6, Cross Roads Precinct, James Thomas born January 1827 is living in the household of his son David. James died in 1913 Laurel County KY and is buried in the Thomas Cemetery there. James is the grandfather of Rice. Elizabeth his mother and widow is a head of household with two sons, Anderson and Isaac B., living with her. Samuel Thomas, brother of Lafayette, and family are next door to Elizabeth. Next to Samuel is James W. Huston, wife Gelina and daughters. Gelina is Rice's sister. In later census his name was spelled Rise and Ross and I have seen Thomas spelled Tomas in some cases. If brothers Leander, Elijah, Samuel and William are also found, that would be great to know. I suspect they are all in the same mining community not too far from the old homestead, because Rice and Della Mae Johnson were married at Viva, Laurel County KY in June 29 1905. In the 1910 Census my grandparents are in Burnwell, Kanawha Co. WV. Eventually they end up at Dante, Russell County VA, where my mother and I were born in his house. Greatly appreciate any help.
