I am a descendent of Thomas Southern and Mary Spry Gaetches (or Geatches)Thomas and Mary had at least three sons that I am aware of...William, Thomas and Robert...not entirely sure of birth order. My great-great grandfather was Thomas Southern born in 1855 in England and died in 1904 in Ohio, USA. I am trying to find any information about Thomas, child of Thomas Southern(or Southorn) and Mary Spry Geatches. My grandparents (William F Southern and Marguerite Durham Southern)always told me that my grandfather's grandfather was adopted and I cannot find any information anywhere confirming this.
My "pedigree" as best as far as I can go back is like this:
I am Peggy Sue Southern
My father is Joseph William Southern
My grandfather was William Frederick Southern.
My great-grandfather was Thomas James Southern.
My great-great grandfather was Thomas (H or R) Southern (or Southorn)(adopted?)
My great-great-great grandparents were Thomas Southern and Mary Spry Gaetches.
Thanks in advance for any and all information that can be offered :-)
