My ancestors declared the family came from Wales but was Welsh, Scots-Irish, and English. However, I have not been able to locate any Scots-Irish, other than a marriage of one of the brothers to "An Irish Girl". The family originally came from Europe to Pennsylvania (which was later Virginia). The ancestry goes: John Thomas b ca 1740 Loudoun Co., VA Joseph Thomas b 1765 Loudoun Co., VA m Elizabeth Unknown; 3 sons James V. Thomas, Sr. b 1801 Loudoun Co., VA m Hannah Griever of Washington Co./Smyth Co., VA (probably German); 10 children James V. Thomas, Jr. b 1831 Lee Co., VA m Susannah Rouse of Washington Co., VA (Pennsylvanian Dutch) James Mack Thomas b 1855 Perry Co., KY m Ellen Richards of England Anybody out there connected to this family? I have a lot of information to share. Pat
