I'm very interested in learning more regarding William Thomas, the son of John Thomas, b. 1690. My Samuel Thomas' (b. 1759) mother, Charity Haymes, as a young teen, is living within two miles of William's property. My working theory at this point is, Charity married one of William's sons.

Is anyone else researching William's children?

Understanding Mrs. Stokes feels there may be a connection with Edward (of Prince George County) and William Thomas, or at least worth exploring further, I would agree. Their proximity of one another is too coincidental to ignore.
