Surnames: Thomas\Poff\Stapleton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GBC.2ACE/39.139.1.1 Message Board Post: I just started looking for an Almeda Thomas today and was delighted to find your query. I sure hope your Almeda and mine are the same, it would sure make my day. The Almeda I am looking for is the half-sister to my great-grandmother Susan Janette Poff b 02/10/1860. Her mother was Margaret Poff and the father was a traveling salesman. They lived around Wolf Run. I have two pictures of Almeda Thomas and husband and children. There are six children in the last picture. My great-grandmother Janette married Commodore Stapleton and moved to Madison Co, Arkansas around 1890. I am hopefully for a positive connection. Looking forward to your reply. Sherian in Oklahoma
