Cummings Thomas (no more info on him) she was dau of David Tankersley and Eliza D. Hardison David and Eliza are buried Berea Church, Verona, TN I decended from Sarah's older sister - Martha Clementine Tankersley. ---------- From: Ron Estes[SMTP:[email protected]] Reply To: Ron Estes Sent: Saturday, 11 March, 2000 2:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [TNMARSHA] Thomas / Fowler I am looking for ancestors and descendants of the following family: CHRISTOPHER C. THOMAS, b. abt. 1833, VA, d. aft. 1900, Sharp Co., AR m. 1858, Marshall Co., TN, to Susan J. Fowler (b.1832, VA d. 1872-1880, ?? TN) Susan Fowler is the d/o James E. and Nancy Fowler. I have some information on the Fowler family. Some of them would later move to Sharp Co., AR. I am especially interested in ancestors of my Christopher C. Thomas. The Thomas line has been my "brickwall". I believe that they migrated from Virginia (possibly Mecklenburg County) to Rutherford Co., TN, then on to Marshall County, TN. C.C. would later show up in Sharp County, AR (near Ash Flat) with one of his children (John W. Thomas) He homesteaded land there in April, 1899 using the name CIT C. THOMAS. He is my gg gf. There is a family story about C.C.'s father being killed in the Civil War. His given name is unknown, but it may have also been Christopher, as the knitname was pronounced KIT. Maybe someone out there can shed some light on my Thomas Family. Perhaps place C.C. with his folks as a 13 yr. old child in 1850, or something like that. I am new to this page. Thanks. Any help will be appreciated. Ron Estes
