Happy New Year THOMAS family descendents, I have information to share and I hope it helps someone out there. Here is a mini list of what I have. David THOMAS arrived in Wellinborough, Burlington Co., NJ from Wales in 1742. He and his wife Margaret had Thomas THOMAS 30 Jan 1761.There may have been other children,possibly Timothy, but I have no documentation. Thomas married Mary GRIMES 20 Feb 1783. Their first child Samuel was born 2 Dec 1785. in Burlington Co. NJ. I'm guessing that after their second child, Benjamin, they moved to PA around 1788.Thomas may have been awarded two pieces of property, one in Westmoreland Co.,PA and the other in Guernsey Co., Ohio as a result of his service in the Rev. War, but I am conjecturing regarding the award. However Samuel did live on Thomas' property in Ohio. Samuel married Elizabeth LA RUE at the Redstone Church in Fayette,Co.PA, 5 Feb. 1807 and had 10 children listed below: Abigail THOMAS born 1807 married Zaccheus Van Meter Mary Ann THOMAS born 1809 married Rev. J. H. WHITE Sarah THOMAS born 1811 married Mr. CRAWFORD Thomas THOMAS born 1813 married Susan CAROTHERS Abraham THOMAS born 1816 Timothy THOMAS born 1 Mar 1817 married Eliza CAROTHERS Gllaves THOMAS born 1819 Margaret Ann THOMAS born 1822 married Benjamin WHITE Jane THOMAS born 1824 married Samuel RICHARDSON William THOMAS born 1830 married Margaret JONES The information I have came from descendents of Samuel who wrote to my grandfather who was the THOMAS family historian. Also, he recorded this information from wills and Bible records that had been transcribed. Please fill me in if there is more information on these families. Somes of the relatives who wrote my grandfather didn't disclose all data, such as place of birth etc.,or all the descendents. Jan <chuckles@iserv.net>
