This morning, I hooked up with another Thomas descendant, Larry, who is the grandson of one of my grandfather's brothers. We met (at, of all places, the Dayton, OH airport) and made the short trip to Troy, Ohio, in Miami County to try and find the Thomas family cemetery. After a bit of a bobble, we found it. :) The cemetery, originally on land owned by Abraham Thomas (b. 1756 in Orange County, VA d. 5Apr1843 in Miami County, OH) is now maintained by the County Trustee and they seem to do a good job of it. The grass had obviously been mown recently and small flags placed at the grave sites of the various military veterans. Larry and I both got quite a few pictures of the area, but it seemed that most of the Thomases' stones were either too weathered to read or were missing. The ones that *I* had mainly wanted to see (and get pictures of) were Abraham and his wife and Michael (b. 1779 in Washing- ton County, PA d. 24May1818 in Miami County, OH) we were able to find. Abraham and his wife, Susanna's, stone is still in very good shape and I got quite a few pictures of it. Michael and Mary's stone has been broken and only Mary's death date and 'wife of Michael Thomas' is still visible on it. They both had brass/bronze markers by their graves that identify them as veterans, Abraham of the Revolutionary War, Michael of the War of 1812. Another Thomas that I was able to recognize (unfortunately, I wasn't very organized for this trip and didn't have a list of all of Abraham's children and who was buried where) was Mariah H. Dye, wife of Minor L. and, IIRC, sister of Abraham Thomas. I know this doesn't add a whole lot of new information to what I've already shared here, but I wanted to let people know that if they are interested in this line, the ceme- tery is easily accessible (once you get good directions :) ) and there's quite a bit there of interest. I will be checking out a cemetery in Delaware County, Indiana, where more Thomas descendants are buried in the next few days. If anyone is interested in copies of these pictures, I took them with a digital camera but won't be able to download them for a week or more (after I return home.) I would be happy to mail them out to anyone who would be interested in them. Tracey
