: : I only have Thomas information from 1850 census, but here is what I found; : Blount Co., TN. : THOMAS, John 53, Elizab. 47, John 16, Danl. 14, Barbary 12, James 9, Nahab 7, : And. 5, ---T.T. Bo (Blount) family # 1492, on pg. # 202 of original handwritten : census. : : I think these are the obits from Elizabeth and John of this census, but I don't : know for sure. : : ********************************************************************** : : From Maryville Times Wednesday January 27, 1886 - Page 1 : : DIED : At the old homestead in the 13th district of Blount County, Mrs. Elizabeth : Thomas, on January 20, 1886. Mrs. Thomas was born in Carter Co., this State, in the year : 1803. She was married to John Thomas who survives her, in the year 1821. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Daniel. : She died as she had lived, a consistent member of the Primitive Baptist : Church. She leaves a number of children to benefit by her example. The husband is bereft. : Mrs.'s T.'s own children number 12; her grandchildren number 75; her great-grandchildren 65. : Grandma is dead. : Baptist papers please copy. : : : ********************************** : From Maryville Times Wednesday Nov. 12, 1890 - Page 5 : : Uncle John Thomas, father of Andy Thomas, died at George's Mill Tuesday at 12 : o'clock. Mr. Thomas was ninety-two years old at the time of his death. : : ************************************* : : I am not sure if these Thomas's are connected to my line or not. I found some : other information that reports that this John THOMAS is a brother to Isaac : THOMAS b. in Sevier County, a veteran of the War of 1812. And their parent's are : reported to be, Isaac Thomas, old Indian Trader and Nancy Ward's messenger, and : his wife Elizabeth MASSENGILL. (From the book, "Tennessee Cousins" A History of : Tennessee People - by Worth S. Ray - Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1984. : page 203. : : The second Isaac THOMAS married in Sevier Co., TN., but the name of his wife is : unknown. However, they were the parents of these children: : : 1. John Thomas (b. 1794) married Hannah ANDES. : 2. Isham Thomas (b. 1795), probably married Ida BIRD. : : Above John Thomas moved to Missouri and later to Texas, per TN. Cousins. : : I have to go thru the whole section again. It says something about Isaac Thomas : may have been married twice and had two sets of children, though there appears : no records of his first wife and family. Isaac Thomas, Sr. may have been the : brother of Jacob THOMAS and a son of William THOMAS whose name appears in the : records of the earliest meetings of the Court of Washington County, N. C., : (Later a part of Tennessee.) : : It is written by Ray, that "There is a well-considered tradition that the THOMAS : Family of WATAUGA came from WAYNE or DUPLIN COUNTY, N. C. where they lived at a point called SEVEN SPRINGS, near Little River and the NUECE." : : I think my Thomas Family came from PA. and ended up in Blount/Knox Co.'s in late : 1700's, early 1800's. Sorting thru the Thomas's in Blount and in Knox Co. before : Blount became a County is something. I have no way of knowing if all the above : information on Isaac, John and Elizabeth Daniel Thomas is correct, but it may be helpful to someone out there. : : Barb (Thomas) Fitzmaurice - Michigan : BLFITZMA@prodigy.net : :
