Thanks for the reply. No the letter was not returned. But one never knows if it was lost or in a dead letter file. We were corresponding about our Renfro family history, her mother was Ruth Renfro.

Not all THOMAS spellings are correct nor of English/Welch ancestry. My husband's THOMAS line was originally "TOMAS" from Portugal via Spain. The progenitor of this line came on a ship owned by Morgan the Pirate and crashed on the Carolina's shore. His name was only listed as "Red" Tomas but his name may have been Aaron Tomas (who would have been referred to as Aaron "the Red" Tomas - as future Aarons were given various designations to distinguish them from their father or grandfather. At various times during census recording the oldest known family members stated they were born in SC, NC, Florida or Georgia. Studying the history of the Americas has shown at one time the borders of these four states were in contention. Later census records indicated that the oldest American ancestors were all born in Buncombe County, North Carolina or the portion that later became known as Yancey County, N.C. The area was highly Scotch Irish (be sure to read the history of that designation) and over time even those ancestors with strong other ethnic origins were persuaded to use the Scot or English spellings of similar sounding names. One ancestor that married into this TOMAS/Thomas line changed the spelling of their Portuguese name MEDARIS to McDARIS. My own THOMAS line is from Camborne, Cornwall England and migrated in 1881-82 to Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania with Simon Thomas, the son of John & Jane Thomas (worse than trying to track down Smith). My grandmother was born in 1885 Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania as first generation American of my line.

>From Rory Thomas,sorry to but in,but in the UK it is generally accepted that if your correct surname is Thomas ,then at some stage in the past there was a Welsh or West Country connection.During the Saxon invasion of England the native population (Celts?) retreated or were drived back into the areas now known as the Cornwall & Wales,then called WEALAS & CORNWEALAS respectiverly (spelling may be wrong) I believe.Some also migrated to France to an area which became Britany.I dont know about Britany but this explains the concentration of our surname in Wales & Cornwall.
