Tina Smith asked about Benajah Case Thomas, born Aug. 2, 1778 in Mass. or CT. "History of Ancient Woodbury, Connecticut", 1854, by William Cothren, reprinted in 1977 and 1996 and available on Family Tree Maker Family Archive CD #117 shows Benajah C. Thomas born in Woodbury Aug. 2, 1778 to David Thomas (b. Apr. 16, 1756 and Abigail Case (m. Sept. 4 1777)(all page 723). David is son of Deacon Charles Thomas (Bapt. Woodbury July 3, 1720) and Mary Barges. Deacon Charles Thomas is son of Jeremiah Thomas, who died Dec. 10, 1752. (page 722) Donald Lines Jacobus in "Families of Ancient New Haven" gives the Jeremiah who died Dec. 10, 1752 as the son of John Thomas and Mary Blakeslee (Mary b. New Haven 2 Nov. 1659) (page 1729). Jacobus speculates that this John might be a nephew of John and Tabitha Thomas, who immigrated to New Haven Colony bef. 1639. Jacobus is available on Family Tree Maker Family Archive CD #179, or as the first ten or twelve years of "The American Genealogist", in the 1920s and 1930s. Richard Payton, 8th great grandson of John and Tabitha Thomas of New Haven

Finally, a man's chain letter! This chain letter was started in hopes of bringing relief to other tired and discouraged men. Unlike most chain letters, this one doesn't cost anything! Just send a copy of this letter to five of your friends who are equally tired and discontented. Then bundle up your wife and/or girlfriend and send her to the man whose name appears at the top of the following list, and add your name to the bottom of the list. When your turn comes, you will receive 15,625 women. One of them is bound to be better than the one you already have. At the writing of this letter, a friend of mine has already received 184 women, of whom four were worth keeping. REMEMBER this chain brings luck. One man's pit bull died, and the next day he received a Playboy playmate. An unmarried Jewish man living with his widowed mother was able to choose between a Hooter's waitress and a Hollywood super model. You can be lucky too, but DO NOT BREAK THE CHAIN! One man broke the chain and got his wife back again. Let's keep it going, men! Just add your name to the bottom of the list below !

Hello, list. What is Germanna, or the Germanna colonies, mentioned in recent posts? I've been researching various lines for about 40 years and have never run across the term before. My Thomases (ancestor Isaac Thomas b ca 1730, married Mary Davies/Davy/Davis) lived in South Carolina, but I do have another ancestor who lived on a Ten Mile Creek in what is now Greene County, Pennsylvania. Is this the same Ten Mile Creek recently mentioned? If so, was it an area where the Germanna culture thrived? No one knows the parents or siblings of my Pennsylvania ancestor, and I'm wondering whether this could be a clue to his ancestry. He moved to Warren County, Ohio in 1805 and died there in 1807. His name was William Lee. Thanks, Alma _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

Still looking for any information regarding David Thomas, died Albemarle Co. Va. 1819; wife Anne (Rhodes/Rodes?) Children born between 1775 and 1810. Those known were Kemp, Carver, Samuel, John, James, Archelaus, Eliza (Elizabeth Ann or Ann Elizabeth), Rodes and WIliam. Some children lived in Nelson, Rockbridge and Wythe counties, Va. Many thanks. Pam Thomas

Hi Rex, Do you have information on any of the other children of Arthur Thomas? His time frame and location could be a possible lead to the parent of my ancestor, Henry Pierson Thomas, who established his family in Greenville County, SC. Thanks for any help, Patricia Pack Schell

Sandra, Could you be refferring to the Jesse Thomas that is the brother of Elias and Pressley of Bulloch County, GA? They are believed to be the sons of John Thomas and Sarah Hodges. My line comes from Elias and Eliza Deloaches son Elbert. There is alot of donated information at Rootsweb.com on this family. Teri

Sorry, all, just noticed a gaff in my editing! I should have put: Charles Thomas (whom I'm descended from) rather than: Charles Thomas (gfather of previously mentioned William Frederick) Apologies for the time paradox.

Hi all, I'm about to confuse you all, but please bear with me - I swear I'm not insane. Or at least not certifiably so. Anyhoo, somewhen in the dim and distant past I posted a family story that said two brothers, the aforementioned James and Edward Thomas, left Nantgarw (Eglwysilan, Glamorgan, Wales) for 'the States' (I know, it's a big place, but no-one remembers where...) in the late 1800s. The son of one of them, George, and his son, Vince/Vance, later visited the relatives who were in Senghennydd (Eglwysilan, Glamorgan, Wales) by this time (c.1914). The family as descibed in the same family history goes something like: William Frederick Thomas m. Catherine Carol ? (both of St.Davids) children: James Thomas (emigrated to USA) Charles Thomas (gfather of previously mentioned William Frederick) Edward Thomas (emigrated to USA) At a later dat I posted (from the boards) that I had managed to identify the family, but the family described in official documents differed slightly. The up-to-date version of what I've found is as follows (all the places are in Wales): William Frededrick Thomas (b.c1811 Lamphey) m.(9/4/1837 Haverfordwest) Catherine Carol Rowlands (b.c1811 Pembroke) chldren: George Samuel Thomas (b.19/12/1840 Pembroke) Charles Thomas (b.c1843 Pembroke) Mary Ann Thomas (b.c1845 Pembroke) John Thomas (b.c1847 Pembroke) Edward Thomas (b.c1849 Pembroke) William Frederick (b.c1851 Nantgarw) Charles (who I'm descended from) is 'accounted for' as he married a Mary Ann Brooks around 1864ish and stayed in Nantgarw for the rest of his life, AFAIK. John married a Martha ? and I think I have identified his household on the 1881 UK census - they certainly have used the family names (William F., Catherine, George S.). Edward married a Rebecca and I think I've managed to trace them to Plymouth, Luzerne, Pennsylvania on the 1880 US census through familysearch.org. At 19, William Frederick (of the brothers) was listed on the 1871 UK census as a blacksmith and was living with his widowed father. The obvious conclusion is that the erroneously named James has to be either George or William. Can anyone else help me with the mystery? Thanks, Jo ===== Joanne Thomas [email protected] http://www.geocities.com/journeymouse/ __________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Do I remember that they moved to Kentucky? marsha > Yes, after a decade or two in the Ten Mile Creek area of Pennsylvania. One of Michael Thomas' children, Abraham, was a scout with Daniel Boone and quite a few of his siblings made the trip to Kentucky with the group of people that settled Boonesboro and the surrounding area. Abraham (my g-g-g-g-great-grandfather) and Boone and others then started scouting out the area that ended up being Ohio (some accounts say that Abraham was the first white man to set foot on the land that became Cincinnatti) and Abraham and others of his family ended up settling in what ended up being Miami County in Ohio. I've been very lucky in that, because of the interest in the Germanna colonies and the fact that Michael Thomas' 25 (!!!!) children were very involved in a lot of the historical happenings of the day, this line has been researched a lot and there are lots of things out there, in print and on the 'net, about the different folks in the family. I am heading to Miami County in the next couple of weeks to visit the Thomas family cemetery in Troy, Ohio. Abraham and his wife and quite a few other relatives are buried there. Tracey

I didn't think it was that relevant. :( I have looked through the Germanna archives and alot of articles written about the colonies and the colonies were where my line of Thomases (and also the female side of Wayland and Smith) began. In fact, there is a series of article about Michael Thomas and his children in the Germanna articles written by John Blankenbaker (I hope I'm remembering his name correctly.) Tracey

Tracy, do you think that your Thomas family might be Germanna? It sounds as if it is quite possible from the names below and the places. I highly recommend the Germanna mail list--it is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Let me know if you turn out to have Germanna connections. I will be very envious. There has been some Thomas discussion recently. I am sorry that I do not have time to look for old e-mails for you...but take a look at the archives--very recent---last couple of months.

I am searching for information on Arthur Thomas, b prior to 1765 and lived in Union County, SC from 1790 untill about 1829 where his son, John H. Thomas, was born in the 1790s. John H. Thomas married Judy Skains between 1815 and 1817. John and Judy moved to Faith Co., GA about 1830, then to Butler County, AL and settled in Pike County, AL Rex Jones.
