Seeking information on the family and origins of Solomon THOMAS b. 1795-1800 poss. in Montgomery Co. VA, m. 15 Feb 1819 in Monroe Co. (now WV) to Mary "Polly" JONES. Solomon was enum. 1820 in Giles Co. VA with household 100100-00100, living next door (or at least nearby) a John THOMAS who may be his father. He was enum. 1830 in Monroe Co. with household 220001-10001, living near a Benjamin THOMAS who might also be his uncle. He was enum. 1840 in Greenbrier Co. (now WV) with household 01111001-121001, again living near an older John THOMAS. He was enum. in Greenbrier in 1850 with wife Mary and ten children, again in 1860 with wife Mary and four children, and again in 1870 with wife Mary, one dau., and four grandchildren. Solomon appears to have d. 1870-1880 near Fort Spring, Greenbrier Co. WV.

Only eight of Solomon's 13 children can be identified: Joseph, Thomas, Sarah, Julia, Margaret, Ruth, Cornelius, and Ellen. The Samuel THOMAS enum. 1880 in Fort Spring is prob. Solomon's grandson.

I will be grateful for any information or leads the will shed new light on this family. I am of course happy to share my files with any interested researcher.
