Cynthia, Your maternal Thomas line is of great interest to me. My great great grandfather was also Riley Thomas. Riley's family came from the Carolinas into Georgia. He was in Upson County, Georgia, on the 1830 census. There was a Spencer Thomas listed on the Tax List for Upson County, Georgia, in 1825, but was not there when the 1830 census was taken. I know my Riley's family family was there, at least, by 1826, because his brother John Thomas was married in Upson County, Georgia, in 1826. I have tried for TOO many years to connect this Spencer Thomas to my Thomas lineage. To date ... unsuccessfully. Cynthia, have either your maternal or paternal Thomas lines been DNA tested with the THOMAS DNA Project? If they have not, do you have a direct male Thomas descendant that would agree to being a DNA donor for the THOMAS DNA Project? I propose to pay for the test if you have a Thomas donor.
