ATTN Jim H. Thomas I see your surname and I wonder if you have any Silas M. Thomas information? He was on the Robertson Co., TN census of 1850 with his wife Frances Jane [Fletcher], moved to Logan Co., KY in 1851 and died there before Jan 1892. The 1850 census showed $3960 worth of real estate which Robertson Co. Archives says he did not buy, sell or inherit in Robertson Co. He has been my brick wall for a long time. Thanks. I have not run on to a Silas Thomas in my research. My brick wall is the father of my gg grandfather, Zachariah Thomas, who at age 24 was on the 1850 Cannon County census with Lucy Thomas age 50 (his mother I think) and other children. Jim
