The Thom family Bible was brought to this country in or after 1773 by Joseph Thom who settled in Pennsylvania after the war of independence. He died in the 1800's in Indiana but left 10 children to carry on the Thom Family name. My direct descendent William Wilson Thom, his son left a son, Dr William Wilson Thom who died in Illinois and his son Josiah Thom fought in the Civil War and then moved to Idaho in the 1860-70's. My grandfather Jesse Custer Thom, father Marion Arthur Thom and I were all born in Idaho.
My family moved with the Pilgrims to Holland prior to the move to the colonies in 1620.
Thom means twin in gaelic. I am sure there is a connection with our family lines if we were able to trace back that far.
