There has been a lot of activity on the Thomas list recently, but I have not seen any messages that include my line of Thomases. I have only scant provable information, but the name is so unusual that someone may have come across it. My gggrandfather was Radford Thomas. I do not know who his parents were or when he was born. He married Sarah (Sally) Stratton in Amherst Co., VA on Feb. 7, 1825. In the 1850 census he is listed with the following sons: James, 20; William, 17; Radford, 3; and the following daughters: Mary, 13, Sarah, 9, and Ann, 6. Ann married my ggrandfather, Henry Jackson Proffitt, in Amherst Co. Nov. 15, 1866. Sarah married Fielding H. Wright in Amherst Co. Dec. 21, 1865, and Mary married James D. Damron in Amherst Co. Feb. 10, 1856. Radford and Sally were still living in the 1880 census. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me on this line. Thanks, Yvonne __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
