Looking for anyone who might be connected to William Lewelyn THOMAS who was born in Pontypool, Monmouthshire, Wales on 4 March 1836 and married Hannah HARRIS 16 Feb 1857 in Wales....she was born 1838 in Croespen, Glamorganshire, Wales. William is the brother of Phillip THOMAS, also born Pontypool, who married Sarah WILLIAMS 7 April 1849 in Wales. Both William and Phillip are sons of John THOMAS and a Rachael. John was the original emigrant of this family and died in Summit County, Ohio on 17 Feb 1891. John, William and Phillip were all coal miners in the Ohio mines. William became a successful businessman with several patents relating to the industry as well as involvement in the ownership of several mines. Always glad to share........
