Hi Beverly, I eagerly read your posting today about John Thomas of Champaign Co OH, but by the third line realized that your John Thomas was not the same person as my most wanted Thomas, one of the four other John Thomas's of Champaign Co OH about that same time period. Mine married Sarah Owen Nov 6, 1789 in Harrison Co VA (now WV), had a daughter Elizabeth Thomas there Jun 20, 1796, and moved to Champaign Co OH before 1816. Unknown birth date, location, and parents, and also unknown death date/location.... same with wife Sarah Owen. Daughter Elizabeth married John Lupt Meredith Sep 16, 1816 in Champaign Co, and they had at least 3 children there 1817 through 1823. Elizabeth may have had a sister Esther Thomas who married John's brother Joseph Meredith in 1823 in Miami Co OH. Both marriages were officiated by John Thomas, J.P. Since you were able to sort out YOUR specific John Thomas from this tangle of Thomases in Champaign Co, did ;you happen to run across any info on MY John Thomas?! Thanks for any info.
