My great-grandmother was Almeda (aka "Almedia") Leonard who was married to William Thomas in 1896. The marriage records show her as Margaret Leonard. Her parents were listed as Caloway and Margaret Leonard in the marriage records. The couple lived near Benhams near Wolf Run. I believe that both are buried in the Gum Hill Baptist Church cemetery. William Thomas was killed in about 1908 and I was told that he died after being kicked by a mule on the farm. The 1910 Census shows the widow "Almeda" Thomas living as a farmer with her several children. Later in life, I believe that she lived with my grandfather Arthur (A.C.) Thomas (m. Mary Vanhook) and his family around Bristol and Blountville in Sullivan County TN. I am researching the Thomas family. William had a twin brother John and they were born in 1864 to Robert b. 1820 and Bettie Thomas. I want to know more about Robert and Bettie and their parents.
