Just wanted to follow up with everyone & let you know what I have just found out about my THOMAS line-just in case we can find a link (??) Yesterday I received the Death Certificate copy that I ordered from KY of my GGG Grandfather, Samuel Proctor THOMAS. It is hand written, so some things are difficult to read, but the important things are pretty legible. It lists his date of birth as Sept. 14, 1830 in Warren Co., KY & death was April 9, 1916 in Bowling Green, KY. Buried in Fairview Cemetery, KY. Sam's trade or profession was farmer. His father is listed as John THOMAS born in VA, mother is unknown, born in VA. The "Informant" is (I believe) Claud THOMAS of Bowling Green, KY. I wonder if Claud might be a brother of Sam's. Do any of you recognize any of this info? Any knowledge of a John THOMAS born in VA and later moved to KY (at least by 1830)? THANKS for all of your help! Jodi

I am just beginning to search for information about my great grandmother, MARGARET ANN THOMAS, who was born October 21, 1865 in Forest City, IL. The only information I have is that her parents were Samuel K. Thomas (possibly born in Missouri) and Mary Randolph. Margaret Ann married ALBERT MONROE GUILE in Forest City, IL on Sept. 20, 1882. They later lived in Benton, AR, where she died in 1915. Margaret Ann and Albert had 8 children. Does anyone have any information about MARGARET ANN THOMAS, SAMUEL K. THOMAS, MARY RANDOLPH, or other members of this family? Thanks, Cathy Woods Boulder, CO

I have Michigan THOMASes. They settled in Kent County. More specifically my great-great-grandfather was Abner Davis THOMAS who settled in Bowne Township (Kent Co.) around 1850. I believe his brother Jonathan settled there around then, too. Abner and his wife Laura Almena KENT had 11 children, 5 of which were boys, carrying on the THOMAS name. If you'd like more info, please let me know. Laura Prescott Duffy Brookline, NH

This is Al Metts in San Antonio and this is my first message to the Thomas List. I descend from a Rev. soldier who was at Valley Forge! He lived in Cumberland County, Virginia. He was Jesse Thomas, b. abt. 1750. He was married to an English gal named Sallie Wood and they had 5 kids. She died and he went to war 1778-9. He came home and married a lady named MARY HOWELL. They had 7 kids. Jesse died and Mary Howell took the kids to Nashville. Now my problem - Jesse Thomas wrote a long will dated 9 March 1805 at Cumberland County, VA. He died there on 2 July 1805 and the will was probated on 22 July 1805. I have a typed version of the will. Does anyone have a copy of the original will or of the old hand written transcriptions found in most of the old Virginia courthouses? Now, my second and last question is, does anyone have any documents of any kind that prove that Jesse married Mary Howell and that Jesse and Mary were the parents of Mary (called Polly) Thomas who married Abner Pillow? I own a copy of the excellent book by Jane H. Thomas, "Old Days in Nashville". It helps, but I do need the items mentioned above. Please help me if you can! Albert C. Metts, Jr. 4019 Sylvan Oaks Dr. San Antonio, TX 78229 ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Seeking contact with anyone researching the Thomas name in Jefferson Co, Adams Co. PA in the early 1800's. These would be German/Dutch background. Please email me, and let's see if we can connect the dots! Mark Thomas

for the suggestions for research facilities in the St. Louis area. I feel I will be better prepared with the help you have given me. Gladys

I'm going to be in St. Louis in about a week and am wondering what facility there has the best resources for geneology research. There is one near Forest Park, but I'm wondering if there are more I should consider. Thanks Gladys geichel@adams.net

Cain I have good sources for my line back to Enos Thomas Jr., and have found many records for Owen Thomas and his ancestors, but am searching for proof of Enos Thomas Sr. Does anyone have records that show Enos Sr. as the son of Owen and Mary Hardin Thomas? Or Enos Sr. as the father of Enos Jr.? Other children of Enos Sr. are Henry Thomas, Hardin Thomas and Joseph Burgess Thomas. Appreciate any help, and glad to find the list! Candy Wagner

Does anyone out there have THOMASes in MI? Suzy

I am new to the list so I thought I'd introduce myself and my search for the Thomas roots. My gg grandfather was William Thomas, a Quaker, b. 1815, in High Point, Guilford County, NC. He married Margaret Jane Haworth March 11, 1840. William was listed in the 1860 census. William and Margaret had seven children as follows: Mary Jane Thomas b. 1842 Winston-Salem, NC d. ?; Hannah D. Thomas; Catherine L. Thomas b. 1844 in Winston-Salem NC m. Sandy Pfaff; Eli H. Thomas, b. 1846 Winston-Salem, NC; Emory Auguste Thomas, b. 1849 Winston-Salem NC m. Louisa ? abt.1865; Nancy E. Thomas b. 1851 Winston-Salem, NC;* Charles Franklin Thomas (my g grandfather)b. April 17, 1857 d. July 09, 1950 m. Sarah Jane Bailey May 16, 1880 Winston-Salem, NC. Charles and Sara had 5 girls, one of which was my grandmother, Mary Annetta Thomas. Her sisters were Myrtle, Maude, Mable, and Claude. I can go no further back than William Thomas and would so love to find a link to his family. Any help would be appreciated.
