I am delighted to see all of the posts lately about the Thomases. I descend from Nathan Thomas of Newberry South Carolina. He was born about 1751 but I can not find where or to whom. He died about 1824 in Newberry. His wife was Mary Unknown. They had six children. The fifth, David, was my gg grandfather. He married Mary E Taylor. He was born 22 September 1806 in Newberry and died 9 July 1890 in Giles County Tennessee. Nathan's youngest child was named Nathan Tristram, which leads me to think that he is from the well documented Thomas Family of Talbot Maryland that has many members with the given name Tristram. However, I have not been able to make that connection. I also descend through Nathan's first born, Anna, who married John Marbut. Their youngest child, Louisa Caroline, married her cousin James F Thomas, son of David. Any assistance in cracking this rock wall will be appreciated. Jim Thomas.
