Of all the many queries about THOMASs online; I've not seen the given name of Abraham. My maternal ggf was also Abraham THOMAS b/about 1850/60s. He married Lydia HUGHES, another mystery. Their daughter, Edna Bella THOMAS b/1887 d/1929 Benwood, W.Va. m/Clement Thurman GIVENS b/1884 Captina, Belmont Co., Ohio. Clemens's family lived in Short Creek, Brooke Co., W.Va. at one time. Edna and Clement lived in the Wheeling, Ohio Co., and Moundsville, Marshall Co. W.Va. most of their adult lives, with 10 of 13 living children. Any connection with Sampson Abraham THOMAS of the Carolinas? Thanks for your time. Audrey
