I'm searching in Kentucky and Virginia, primarily, putting Thomas families together whether they're my direct line or not. This is an effort to sort names into families so that I can weed out those that are not mine. Or, I'm thinking they may all come together as one family further back in the early settlement of our country. Right now, I don't have Jesse in my data base. I do have an Abraham Thomas, born 1770 in Virginia. He died about 1850, Owsley Co, Kentucky. Some of his offspring settled not too far away in Lee, Estill, and Madison Co KY. I don't know the father of this Abraham. Could it be Abraham or Jesse? Abraham, b 1770, married Lucy ?, b. abt 1775, prob. VA, and died after 1850, prob. Owsley Co KY. Their children are Cornelius b. 1800, VA, married Margaret Peggy McQuire of Estill Co KY, marr'd 11 Dec 1823; Isaac Franklin Thomas, b 1805, Madison Co KY, died bef. 1870, Lee Co KY, marr'd Elizabeth Rankin, of Estill Co KY, Marr'd 1840; Joseph Thomas, b 1823, Estill Co KY, married Elizabeth Brewer, b 1826, Hawkins Co TN, married abt. 1850. They had 8 children. I have further info if anyone wants it. The counties of Owsley, Breathitt, Lee, Estill, and Madison are situated in a cluster in east central KY. They were originally part of Madison Co. (I'm pretty sure :o) Abraham and Lucy most likely have several other children as indicated by the large gap in the ages of Isaac and Joseph. Because this is not my direct line, I haven't spent a lot of time actually researching this family. The info I have has been gathered as I merely "come across" it. Additions, corrections are welcome.

Wanda, in all your searching, have you ran across a David Price Thomas b 1822? He had a sister, Isabella Thomas b abt 1833. Think they were both born in TN, but no proof. Since you said you were putting Thomas Families together, I decided to see if you had found any record of them. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me Lynda Becker beckerw@ix.netcom.com -----Original Message----- From: thomas-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:thomas-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Wanda Flesher Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2008 1:00 PM To: thomas@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [THOMAS] Jesse Thomas I'm searching in Kentucky and Virginia, primarily, putting Thomas families together whether they're my direct line or not.
