I descend from Daniel Thomas and it is confusing. Louise Heiselmen, and Hazlewood and Carson have books on Tristram Thomas. Last time I heard from Louise she had found something else but I don't know what it was. My web pages go back to Daniel Claibourne Thomas because I have photographs of Claib and Jane Gaither. Sarah Covington also descends from the Normans. Once you get back to Simon there was a great deal of confusion because direct lines were assumed but because of the way the probate was handled they couldn't have been. Kent "David D. & Sherry M.
