We are searching for any information on Ingalls, any spelling, Cass (various spellings, including Case) and Thomas in the Exeter Township, Otsego county, NY area, and in the areas mentioned below. Any suggestions on places to search; books or records that might help; or other places to post this will be appreciated. We have already done extensive research. We are especially interested in any any information on Benjamin Ingalls, born 18 Aug 1771, number 539 in Burleigh's 1903 "Ingalls Genealogy". We are fairly sure that Benjamin was the father of James, my known ancestor. James was b. 9 Jan 1802, probably in Exeter Twp, Otsego County, NY. Review of census records for Benjamin Ingalls show him in Exeter, Otsego County, NY, in the 1800 and 1810 census. We believe he arrived in Exeter about 1797. The census and other records indicate Benjamin moved to Henderson, Jefferson county, NY, about 1810. A Seth Ingalls also lived in Henderson at the same time as a Benjamin and James. All three are mentioned in the 1820-1835 (1810-1820?) Henderson Town Meeting Minutes. We suspect that Seth could be a brother or cousin of James. Burleigh says that Benjamin died in Ellisburg, Jefferson County, NY, but does not say when. Based on census records, we believe Benjamin died about 1830 in Ellisburg or Henderson. We have never found any published information or any documentation on the children of Benjamin. Burleigh does not list the children for Benjamin, but does mention two wives. Burleigh says Benjamin, married first Margery Cass. Married 2nd, Sally Thomas. Our research shows Margery Cass was born 9 Sep 1772, and Sally Thomas, was born abt 1793. We have the marriage information for Benjamin and Margery. ======== We think Sally Thomas was b. Whitehall, Washington Co. NY ca 1793, to John Thomas. She married Benjamin Ingalls after 1810. Family records indicate that my James' mother (possibly step-mother) moved with James and his wife to Burton Twp, Genesee County, MI in 1835, where he homesteaded east of Flint MI. We suspect Sally (Thomas) Ingalls re-married, because we can not find any records of her death. If the Sally Thomas b. 1793 was the second wife of Benjamin, then it is unlikely that she was the mother of my ancestor James Ingalls, who was born in 1802 <g>. This Sally Thomas would have been about 35 when Benjamin died, and about 42 when James homesteaded in MI. ======== The info below is more of the information we have on this family. Any additional data or sources would be appreciated. J.M. (Jay) Ingalls Genealogy is Our Hobby-Searching Ingalls, Schopf, Harvey, Crain, Petrie, Johnson (TN, VA, NC, SC-pre 1850), Grenon, Rushton, Willson. Jay_Ingalls@Pipeline.com ============== Benjamin was born 18 Aug 1771. Benjamin's youngest brother, Zimri, born Cumberland, RI, 21 Mar 1784, moved to Richmond, NH, and died there 3 May 1852. Edmund, B#534, oldest brother of Benjamin #539, was born in Rehobath, MA, 7 Aug 1761, was a farmer at Hartford, NY, died Gouvernear (St. Lawrence County per our note), 23 Oct 1825. Edmund had a son Ira born 22 June 1800. My James had an Ira. Edmund's daughter Mary married Elias Goodrich of Hopkinton MA. Goodrichs were neighbors of my James near Flint MI after 1835. Otis, B541, a younger brother of Benjamin, was born in Rehoboth MA, was a farmer at Hartford NY, died at Flint MI. My James lived just East of Flint MI. Burleigh says descendants of Otis are to be found in MI. Only one son, Otis, B1333, is listed in Burleigh, and he did not live or die in MI. None of B1333's descendants are listed as being born, living, or dying in MI. Some source may have said the other children of B541 lived in MI, but did not provide any other info? Caleb Bowen, B538, was an older brother of Benjamin. Caleb's son Caleb, B1322, b. 18 Mar 1809, was a farmer at Springville NY and Coldwater MI, d. Buffalo NY, 30 July 1886. ========== The next 2 paragraphs are from French's Gazetteer of the State of New York, published about 1860. RICHFIELD was formed from Otsego, April 10, 1792. Exeter and Plainfield were taken off in 1799. It is the extreme northern town of the co. Its surface is rolling and moderately hilly, with a mean elevation of 150 to 200 ft. above Schuyler Lake, Pray and Nine Hills, on either side of the head of the lake, rising about 200 ft. higher. Schuyler Lake, in the S. E. corner, occupies a deep valley; and into it flow several small streams from the N. and W. The soil is of a diversified character, consisting of gravel, slate, clay, and sandy loam, well cultivated and productive. About 500,000 pounds of cheese are made in the town annually, being more than double that made in any other town in the co. Richfield Springs, (p. v.,) near the head of Schuyler Lake, in the N. E. corner of the town, contains 3 churches, a flouring mill, and 368 inhabitants. EXETER was formed from Richfield, March 25, 1799. It is an interior town, lying N. W. of the center of the co. The surface is hilly and broken, consisting mainly of elevated uplands. Angel Cliff and Town Cliff Hills, in the E. part of the town, are 400 to 500 ft. above the valleys. The town is drained E. by several small streams flowing into Schuyler Lake, and S. by Butternut and Wharton Creeks, both of which rise in this town. The soil is a clay and gravelly loam, well adapted to grazing. Exeter Center (Exeter p.o.) contains a church and 106 inhabitants. Schuylers Lake, (p.v.,) at the outlet of Schuyler Lake, on the E. border of the town, contains 2 churches and 280 inhabitants. West Exeter (p.v.) contains 1 church and 100 inhabitants. The first settlements were made by John Tunnicliff, near Schuyler Lake, and William Angel, on Angel Hill, in 1789. The first religious association (Presb.) was formed at Exeter Center, in 1800; Rev. T. W. Duncan was the first regular preacher. (Note:Rev. Calvin Ingals was the first settled Presb. minister at South Bergen, formed from Batavia. The first religious meeting was held there in Sept 1807.

As we sit in our warm homes tonight, we should all be thanking God for all he has given us. For there are those who are less fortunate than we. Many have lost everything that they had known and families have lost loved ones. We as genealogists, believing in family heritage as we do know the pain of hitting the proverbial brick wall. These people have lost all of their heritage and may never completely recover. As you are going to bed tonight, I ask you all to say a little prayer for those in places like Honduras who have suffered so much. They can use all of our prayers and then some. At least most of us don't have relatives buried in mass graves. God Bless, Diana Bostic Hyde

Hi, Does anyone out there have any information on William A. Thomas who married Sarah F. Thomas in Monroe County, MS in the 1850's? William died of pneumonia while serving in the Civil War in Tennessee. Would be so happy to hear from you. Thanks, Sara

Looking for information on my greatgrandmother, her parents and siblings. Amanda "Mandy" Thomas; b abt 1849 Tennessee; d ? Possibly 1886-1891; m William M. Hickman (b TN 1849). One Child: Abraham Hickman; b 10 Apr 1886 at Cohutta, Whitfield, GA. All I know is in the 1900 GA census, I found her husband, William M. HIckman remarried to a Mary_______ with 3 children - first 2 born in TN and last one born in GA. My grandfather, Abraham is shown on the census with them at age 13, located at Dalton, GA. Since this is near the TB border and there is a history of going back and forth from TN to GA; I am hoping some kind soul can help me. I have just about exhausted every avenue; short of going through every census in TN and looking for her without knowing a birth year or parents. Bev Schubert Vancouver, WA

I am unsure if this will be of use to you Kenneth - but perhaps this can help someone in the THOMAS list. I am researching Thomas' in Ontario, Canada before 1850. In my research I came across a Probate/Will dated 10/1/1891 for THOMAS THOMAS. Here is the body of the Will: I Thomas, Thomas of the Township of Southwold in the County of Elgin and Province of Ontario Yeoman, being of sound and disposing mind memory and understanding do make publish and declare this to be my last Will and Testament hereby revoking and making null and void all former last Wills and Testaments heretofore made by me.

They had children in Lancaster Co., PA in the 1778-1800 range. They were christened in the Moravian Church, Lititz. Trying to find out if this is my elusive Johann Gottfried, son of Peter Thomas in Berks Co., born 12-30-1769, and christened in the Altalaha Lutheran Church, Tulpehocken Twp. Anybody out there that can help tie this together? Mark Thomas --part0_910498834_boundary--

Please forgive, but I believe this worthy of sharing with all our "Cousins!" Proud of our many THOMAS families' Veterans, and of our son who is currently serving in our nation's military forces! WHAT IS A VET? Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity. Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. You can't tell a vet just by looking. What is a vet? He is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carriers didn't run out of fuel. He is the barroom loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times in the cosmic scales by four hours of exquisite bravery near the 38th parallel. She - or he - is the nurse who fought against futility and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years in Da Nang. He is the POW who went away one person and came back another - or didn't come back AT ALL. He is the Quantico drill instructor who has never seen combat - but has saved countless lives by turning, slouchy hill- billy rednecks and no -account gang members into Marines, and teaching them to watch each other's backs. He is the parade - riding Legionnaire who pins on his ribbons and medals with a prosthetic hand. He is the career quartermaster who watches the ribbons and medals pass him by. He is the three anonymous heroes in The Tomb Of The Unknowns, whose presence at the Arlington National Cemetery must forever preserve the memory of all the anonymous heroes whose valor dies unrecognized with them on the battlefield or in the ocean's sunless deep. He is the old guy bagging groceries at the supermarket - palsied now and aggravatingly slow - who helped liberate a Nazi death camp and who wishes all day long that his wife were still alive to hold him when the nightmares come. He also was my father, your father, grandfather, husband, brother, uncle, cousin, and yes , all the females who bravely served and are serving their country, for OUR freedom . He is an ordinary and yet an extraordinary human being - a person who offered some of his life's most vital years in the service of his country, and who sacrificed his ambitions so others would not have to sacrifice theirs. He is a soldier and a savior and a sword against the darkness, and he is nothing more than the finest, greatest testimony on behalf of the finest, greatest nation ever known. So remember, each time you see someone who has served or is serving our country, just lean over and say "Thank You." That's all most people need, and in most cases it will mean more than any medals they could have been awarded or were awarded. Two little words that mean a lot, "THANK YOU". Remember: November 11th is Veterans Day And don't forget to Fly The FLAG on Nov. 11th, with pride: Alice alicep@ma.ultranet.com "Message From Massachusetts" Thank you Veterans! TTYL Craig

I made a mistake in my first post. It should have been John Thomas instead of John Thomas Thomas. I have received some information that says John Thomas was the son of Joel and Mary[unknown]Thomas. Joel and Mary were both born 1788 in North Carolina. Here is a list of their children: [1] John Thomas-born 04 Aug 1817 in NC -no death date Married Susan Helms on 03 Nov 1836 in Campbell Co.,Ga. [my line] [2] Jenny Thomas-born 12 June 1819 [3] Lidia Thomas-born 12 Feb 1821 [3] Thomas Thomas-born 12 Sept 1822- no death date Married 1st Lucy Ann Doggett 2nd Elivira West [4] Balam Thomas-born 08 Oct 1824 Married Susan Melvina Allen[daughter of William M. Allen] Balam moved to Cass Co.,Texas after the Civil War. He died in 1882 and is buried in Macedonia Cemetery, Miller Co.,Arkansas. Joel and John were on the 1850 census of Campbell Co.,Ga. Note about Campbell Co.,Ga. It was formed 20 Dec 1828 from Carroll, Coweta, DeKalb and Fayette Counties. On 17 Oct 1870 the land lying north of the river was taken along with some of eastern Carroll to form what is now Douglas Co.,Ga. The rest merged with Fulton Co.,Ga. on 01 Jan 1932. I would like to hear from anyone who is connected with this Thomas family. Thanks in advance. Faye

I also heard this on a local TV station in Seattle last night. A couple years ago I heard that same thing and someone sent around the e-mail address of the FCC where we could reply to this. Does anyone know this address. My Thomas line is.
