One thing to note about James THOMAS. I would think that he might have been the son of Michael THOMAS and his first wife. Michael's oldest son by his second wife was named Solomon THOMAS. Sue

Here's some interesting information from the VIA-L rootsweb list. Perhaps this will help with the THOMAS line. Sue Bishop X-Mailing-List: <VIA-L@rootsweb.com> archive/latest/1521 Resent-Sender: VIA-L-request@rootsweb.com Here's some more information I've found on the Moon family. This stuff can really make your head spin. Notice the name Littleberry....sounds familiar. And the name Diuguid.

The names in brackets are slaves. And then there's Col. William Horsley Goodman. He must be related to Roland Horsley who's daughter Elizabeth married Charles Goodman (in 1761 Micajah Via was a witness to a deed where Roland gave a slave to Charles Goodman..it being part of a marriage contract) I believe the above David Via mentioned with the Diguid family was the son of John Via b. ca 1710 of Buckingham, and Amherst Counties.

I am searching for Michael Thomas b25Dec 1799. Married Esther Coffman 1846. He died 1877. Esther died 1889, Magnolia, WV. Their daughter Elizabeth Thomas b 1856 MD married Daniel William Gates in 1833 PawPaw, WV. There are so many Thomases--hope someone can shed some light on this family. Will share any information I have.

I am looking for information about my 4th great grandfather's second wife Martha THOMAS. The only thing I know about her is that she married O'Neal McARTHUR 13 Sept 1827 in Washington, AL.

Martha A. Thomas Beaven 1860-1931 Josie Thomas Mills 1842 -- 1922 Helen A. Thomas Hite Oct 29, 1845 -- Dec 25, 1917 Sophia Thomas Robinson 1855-1902 Amanda Luckett Thomas 1850 - 1920 The rest are all Thomases: Monroe July 10, 1915 -- October 29, 1919 John Len 1890-1964 A.

I'm transcribing the entire list of everyone who is in the cemetery. There are also many Spaldings, Mattinglys, Abells, Lucketts, ...etc....I suppose if you have relatives from this area at this time, all these names will sound familiar and you can probably guess at what other names might appear. If anyone wants me to do a lookup on any of the other names, please contact me. Good luck!

The THOMAS in my line was Michael THOMAS of Germanna Colony. Several of his sons moved to Mason/Lewis Co., Ky and I'm descended through his son Plummer THOMAS and his granddaughter Sarah THOMAS. The LEMONs in my family are out of Pa. and I have no firm info on them past Lemuel LEMON who was born in Ohio about 1817. His parents were said (by oral family history) to be from Wales but I've not found any evidence. They probably were Pa. Dutch and the name may originally have been Lehman. I've done some searching but have found too much info to sift through as yet. Sue

Is anyone researching the family of Evan Lewis Thomas, b. in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales on , Jan. 23,1868? He came from a large family that migrated to Wilkes-Barre PA in the 1880's. Evan, who is my grandfather, was Justice of the Peace in Barnesboro PA for 40 years. He was married to Elizabeth Ellen Ashurst, b. Wigan, Manchester, England in 1871. I have been "stuck" for several years now in getting past Evan's parents in my family research. He had so many brothers and sisters, I am hoping that some of their descendants might read this and help me get "un-stuck." Evan's parents were David Thomas and Ann Lewis. When Evan, the fifth born child, came along, David was a coal miner and they lived at 37 Cum Rhyd y Bedd in Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, Wales. Evan, and I'm assuming his brother and sisters, were naturalized in Wilkes-Barre PA in the 1880's. But, finding a David Thomas and an Ann Lewis, since those names are so common, has been a challenge. Thanks in advance for any help. I will be willing to share any information I have. Pat Whitfield, PO Box 1068, Zillah WA 98953

I have just found out, from someone kind enough to give me this information from the Greenbrier Cemetery Books, that the David Anderson Thomas I have been researching is buried at the Old Stone Church in Lewisburg, Greenbrier County, West Virginia. The book indicates his birth date as March 27, 1818 and his death as April 2, 1904. His spouse with Amanda Melvina Dych. This has truly been a brick wall for me on this family and I am hoping to connect to others who connect to this line. Can anyone out there help confirm this line or offer more information: Descendants of James Thomas Generation No. 1 1. James1 Thomas was born Abt. 1750.

Hello, I am trying to find more info about this family. My great-grandfather was Charles Thomas. Nobody really knew him, and his death certificate is the only info that I have on him. It lists his birhtdate as 1878 in Iowa, and parents as David Thomas and Ellen Ferguson of Iowa. Anybody have any possible connections? I have had such little luck I would love to hear from anyone who might even just possibly have a wild stretch of a connection. John S.

My Michael Thomas, wife Barbary unknown, was on Matrimony Creek in Rockingham Co. N.C. in 1770's. His neighbors were Lemons, Parrish, Price, Land, Snead, Roberts, Dodd. My Michael died in Rockingham Co. circa 1820. Some reports say he was Michael of the Germanna Colony and that Barbara was a Harrensbager. Research has proven this to be untrue. This Lemon/Thomas connection interests me..do any of you know where your Thomases/Lemons were before they ended up in Ohio,Ky. etc? Thanks. Don Thomas Simmons
