C. His father was Philip A. Thomas b. 15 Apr 1857 (North Carolina?) Philip married Isadora Lavenia Boatright, b. 24 Mar 1900 in Marion, S. C. They are both buried in Wiggins Burying Ground in Georgetown County, S. C. Philip's father was Philip Thomas, b. 1822, killed in the Civil War 1 Oct 1864. Can anyone relate to this? Thanks, Fran in ABQ
