Here is a partial descendency list that may be of help to someone on the list. I have more information of descendents of Thomas THOMAS to share. (6) Hannah Elizabeth JONES was the first born of 12 children of Mary B. THOMAS and Samuel JONES . (5) Mary B. THOMAS was Sam's second wife. They were married 12 Aug 1836 near Webster,PA. Mary died 13 Dec. 1899 in Rostraver Twp. Samuel JONES was born 25 Aug 1800 in Washington Co.,PA died 14 June 1867 in Rostraver Twp., Westmo. Co.,PA (4)Mary B. THOMAS was born 10 Nov 1818 to Benjamin THOMAS and Hannah ALEXANDER in Rostraver Twp. near Webster. Benjamin and Hannah had 12 children. (3) Benjamin was born in Wellingborough, Burlington Co., NJ 27 Sept 1787 to Thomas THOMAS and Mary GRIMES, who were married in NJ 20 Feb 1783. Benjamin was 2nd of 12 children (2) Thomas THOMAS was born 30 Jan 1761 in Burlington Co.,NJ. He served twice in the Rev. War and received property as pension. I believe that is how he got land in Rostraver and in Belmont Co., Ohio where his oldest son Samuel and other children lived. Thomas' parents were (1) David THOMAS born in Wales and emigrated to NJ around 1742 and Margaret LUCAS. I have no record of siblings of Thomas THOMAS. Mary GRIMES was born 10 June 1763 in Burlington Co.,NJ to Ephriam and Mary GRIMES Thomas THOMAS and Mary GRIMES were married 20 Feb 1763. To them were born 12 children. Benjamin was the second child. Mary died 13 Apr 1837.(more info available on her ancestors) According to my grandfather, Frank Hall STEEN, historian for the THOMAS family, this is the partial list of the 12 children of Mary B.

In my notes were mentioned two infant deaths. Numbers in ( ) indicate order of descendency. What information you see here is compiled from letters received from children and grandchildren of the formemtioned. Some information was copied from several family Bibles. My grandfather was involved with a family reunion for the THOMAS Family held every year from roughly 1911 to 1918? There may be more information on the JONES, BAKE and HAGERTY families. I'm sorting through joyfully!!! three large notebooks of information. I am so lucky. I wish that he had also worked on the STEEN family. He did a fantastic job. I also have information on Hannah ALEXANDER's ancestors that dovetails with the information in the Old and New Monongahela book. I'd be most appreciate of insites from relatives of Thomas THOMAS of Rostraver Twp., Westmoreland Co. I have lots to share. Jan <chuckles@iserv.net>
