I'm looking for information about my grandfather, Carl C. Thomas. The only thing I know about him is that he was born sometime in 1886 somewhere in Texas. He listed his occupation as: Painter/wall paper hanger on my father's birth certificate My father told me that he died sometime in the 1920's when my father was a young boy. Carl C. Thomas married a woman by the name of Douglas Lee Gower of Manitou/Frederick, Oklahoma, sometime around 1915/16 time frame. Any information would be appreciated.

Higginson can be a good source for books, but the quality of the copy you will receive is only as good as the quality of their original. In the case of the book that I ordered from them(on Caleb and Sarah FLEMING GARRISON), their master was a of very poor quality, and therefore of no use to me. In their defense, however, they have been cooperative about taking it back. Just a word of slight warning!! Zou Feagin zfeagin@aol.com

Hello THOMAS researchers, I am researching the COLLETT surname and I found the following info in South Carolina records (Abstracts of Records of Secretary of the Province 1692 - 1721 by Caroline T. Moore, GRS): "We, John COLLET, John SKEECH, Abraham POPE, Francis FIDLING and John THOMAS, are bound unto Hon. Joseph BLAKE, Esq., Propr. and Gov., for sum of 2,000 stg [pound sterling]. D: 6 June 1700. CONDITION of OBLIGATION: John COLLETT, John SKEECH, and Abraham POPE, admins. of estate of William MORRIS, late of this Province, dec., made inventory of said estate by 3 free-holders to Office of Sec. within 90 days after date hereof according to ... Wit: Henry WIGINGTON." If this is a repetition of information previously posted, please pardon the duplication. If any of you know whether or not these individuals were related in any way, I would appreciate the information. We have not found names of John COLLETT's family members. Thank you, and I do hope this information helps in your search. Lydia Collett, Atlanta

I am getting the impression that perhaps at least two people think that I was condoning the theft or the selling of stolen grave markers. I have ancestors who fought and some died fighting for the Confederacy, the Union, The War of 1812, The Revolutionary War and even Dunmore's War of 1774. I am very proud of their efforts and participation in the making and defending of our Country. My own husband is a Veteran. I am saddened that anyone would ever steal from our heroes or desecrate any grave. I even understand what would cause someone to be "outraged" It is an outrage when that kind of thing happens. But it should be dealt with by a cool head and logic. If we fly off the handle at the mere suggestion of wrong doing, what does that make us? I hope you realize as I tried to say in my original e-mail that "my point" was that I received e-mail about this issue on five of my different lists. In most cases I received mail from more than one person on the lists. Each account was different. Some stating that eBay and others were selling stolen markers, some stating that eBay and others were selling stolen gravestones (or headstones) each account sounding angry, and many appeared to not even know what they were talking about. They were just jumping on a "bandwagon" of information they themselves and received from another list of theirs and not even checking into the information themselves. I just asked that we not "jump to conclusions without looking into the matter ourselves". This is how the hoaxes get spread to 55 lists in one days time, this is how rumors are spread and how misinformation becomes "truth". I only tried to convince people that charging someone with a serious crime like stealing or selling stolen goods, should have proof behind it. Our genealogy lists should not be a forum for gathering a lynch mob. This is America after all, we are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. If you did not receive the information on so many lists or in differing stories, I can see how you might not notice the frenzy that was being worked up. I even said in that e-mail that after you "check into it and question eBay and find someone to be guilty, then "let them have it". I got a lot of flack from one gentleman who misunderstood my intent and accused me of condoning theft and that I "obviously did not have any war heroes who had ever received such markers as ancestors" and told me that I should realize that " most people are not good or honest". Now that is what I call "jumping to a conclusion". I feel sad for him because I believe that most people are good and honest and that there are only a few bad apples that try to spoil the whole bunch. Another gentleman wrote that when he checked into it, that it appeared to him that the markers might not be genuine, but rather replicas. Another thought that the markers did not actually come from actual graves. I do not know if this is the case or not. But the possibility was there and some people were becoming "outraged" and accusing others of theft before first checking it out. I sure hope our peace officers and courts are not in a habit of doing such things to the rest of us. PS I did receive several e-mail letters from people who did indeed understand the point I was trying to make and I thank them for their comments. > >Cheska wrote: >>Ebay has removed the offensive auctions and is investigating >>the issue further. >> >>The sellers may not have stolen the grave markers themselves, >>but they are in receipt of "stolen goods" and that is >>sufficient for Ebay to close their auctions and discontinue >>their membership. >> >>Someone removed those markers from a Veteran's burial plot. >>We may never know who but I am sure you would agree that it >>would be criminal if word got out that there was money to be >>made selling these items on the Internet!

I am hoping to find someone linked to (or with info on) CHARLES M. THOMAS born in Missouri about 1896. He moved to and was married in or around Manteca, California about 1919, had two sons and a daughter, and died in the '30s/early '40s, I believe. He wife was Minnie L. Blake. My apologies for the sparseness of my information. Anything you have is incremental to me. Many thanks, Bob Thomas Bobt@cait.wustl.edu

Thanks for your input Dana, So many of us jump to conclusions without enough knowledge on a subject to do so. I agree that there are serious grave vandalism and robbery going on, but I am sure that there are many instances of legitimate sales of headstones going on. I wish everyone would take a few moments to look into a subject before becoming outraged and sending it to every list on the net. Did anyone bother to write eBay and ask them about the origins of their grave markers, before becoming alarmed and starting a campaign to boycott eBay? That would be the fair and intelligent thing to do. Has eBay admitted to selling stolen grave markers? Have they been found guilty by the authorities of selling stolen grave markers? If I had replaced a relatives marker with a new one, for whatever the reason, I should be able to sell the old one without being accused of stealing or having poor taste or being despicable. If people are accusing eBay or others of wrong doing when perhaps none has occurred then the one in the wrong is the accuser. Let's all just try to think first and check things out before we cut someone with our tongue or pen (in this case our keyboards). My suggestion is that before you accuse and become appalled at the sell of such a headstone, that you find out where it had been obtained. If it turns out that someone is selling stolen gravestones, then by all means let them have it! But perhaps we should hold our tongue until we have such proof. Dana wrote: I don't want to play devil's advocate on this BUT I am aware that locally one can buy "used" grave markers that family members have "traded in" for newer ones. The reasons vary as I'm told by the local company but among them are: they are upgraded to a double when spouses die, or they can simply afford a better stone now than at the time of death, they are replaced by military markers. I know this because we have a very old cemetery here that we wanted old looking stones to mark an unmarked grave and the suggestion was made by a friend to get a "resurfaced" one. Until then I didn't know you could "trade in" for a different one. Please don't get me wrong, I find the vandalism disgraceful but wanted everyone to know that there may be legitimate sales of used stones going on.
