I need help PLEASE. I have been trying for some time to find the marriage and death information of James Woods Thomas. Can someone please help or guide me? James was born in 1839 in Lewisburg, Greenbrier County, WV. His first wife died and he married Mary McCreary. I don't know where or when, but am guessing it was between the time of his first wife's death in 1871 and 1878. He married his first wife in Kanawha County, WV, where their son was born in 1870, she died 18 months later. The children of his second marriage (Rebecca, Wilbur S., Ernest G., and Harry) were born in Monroe and Summers counties. I am guessing that James and his wife Mary died in either one of those two counties between the years 1899 & 1919. I know that's a broad range, but I'm only guessing. I have tried writing to WV Vital Statistics and have also spent time on the phone with them. Without a county and a birth year it is difficult for them to locate because they have to go back to the old books and it is very time consuming. Sometimes only a last name is written. Beginning in 1940 the records are on computer. I have also written to the two historical societies and have had no replies. It has been several months. Is there anyone out there that can help? Karen
