I need help PLEASE. I have been trying for some time to find the marriage and death information of James Woods Thomas. Can someone please help or guide me? James was born in 1839 in Lewisburg, Greenbrier County, WV. His first wife died and he married Mary McCreary. I don't know where or when, but am guessing it was between the time of his first wife's death in 1871 and 1878. He married his first wife in Kanawha County, WV, where their son was born in 1870, she died 18 months later. The children of his second marriage (Rebecca, Wilbur S., Ernest G., and Harry) were born in Monroe and Summers counties. I am guessing that James and his wife Mary died in either one of those two counties between the years 1899 & 1919. I know that's a broad range, but I'm only guessing. I have tried writing to WV Vital Statistics and have also spent time on the phone with them. Without a county and a birth year it is difficult for them to locate because they have to go back to the old books and it is very time consuming. Sometimes only a last name is written. Beginning in 1940 the records are on computer. I have also written to the two historical societies and have had no replies. It has been several months. Is there anyone out there that can help? Karen

I am searching my THOMAS line from Tregonissey, Cornwall. Richard THOMAS (b.27FEB 1820 Tregonissey) married Elizabeth MINEAR (b.10FEB 1822 Borlorne) date and place unknown. They had 12 children, born 1842 - 1865, all born Tregonissey, Mary, William, John, Richard, Rebecca, Anne, Nicholas, Susan, Anne (#2), William (#2), Joseph, and Elizabeth Jane. William #1 died at age 5 months. Anne #1 died at age 5. Joseph died at age 3 weeks. William #2 was my great-grandfather. William, Mary and Anne came to the US about 1882, possibly on a boat called "Fortune". William married Lavinia HICKS, 11OCT 1882, in Nevada City, CA, possibly by shotgun, as their first child arrived 7 MARCH 1883. Richard (b.1820) was the oldest of five children of John THOMAS and Rebecca (name unknown). The other foiur children were William, Ann, Nicholas, and Joseph, all born 1822 - 34 in Tregonissey. Joseph (b. 1835?) also went to the US and married Margaret Jane Hicks (age 17) in 1862 in Nevada City. Joseph sponsored William #2 to come to the US in 1882. Joseph and family were in the 1870 census of Nevada Township (later Nevada City). I do not know what year he came to the US. If any of this sounds familiar to you, please contact me! Thanks!
