In the 1920 Census for Strawberry Township, Izard County, I find the following THOMAS families: Walter Thomas, 36 Dwelling # 117 Docia 36 Marvin 4 Annie 1 *********** Sarah Thomas, 57 Dwelling # 167 Elden 33 Owen 16 Fanny 15 Elsie 18...dau. in law ************ Frank Thomas, 30 Dwelling # 168 Isabella 26 Coy 2 Roy 1 *********** MART THOMAS 25.........son of John listed below Ella (Weaver) 21 Bessie 3 Dwelling # 171 Nellie Lee 1 ********** JOHN (W.) THOMAS 54 TN VA TN Susie (Roberts) 46....d/o Wm. Asbury Roberts Arch 23 John 19 Dwelling # 172 Virgil 15 James 8 ********** John W.Thomas and his son Mart are my relatives. John came to Sharp County in early 1880's with his father Christopher C. Thomas from Marshall Co., TN. Christopher was living with John & Susie Thomas family in 1900 Sharp Co. census. Christopher's wife, Susan Fowler, died in the 1870's in TN. She is related to many of the Fowlers who live in Sharp County. Also in this family group were the Hortons. QUESTION: Why would John Thomas move from Sharp Co. to Izard Co., to live in Strawberry Twp.. in close proximity to the Walter, Sarah & Frank Thomas families if they were not related? Does anyone have any additional information about Walter/Sarah/Frank THOMAS families that they would share? Maybe this all ties together. Ron
