Jim, Great to hear from you. Ok, here is what I have. I am 60 upcoming March 30. My father was Harry William Thomas who is dead. His mother was Stella May Dawley, daughter of James Nelson Dawley, born (according to my sister) 1835, Ontario, Canada, married 10 Jan 1860 at Williamsburg, Dundas, Ont. to Mary Ann Beckstead. My sister also lists Henry Dawley as James' father, born Jul 1786, died 1 Aug 1849 at Williamsburg, married to Margaret Witteker. That is a far back as we can get right now. Any further information or clarification or ? is greatly appreciated. You can email me directly in San Jose, California at tsacht@earthlink.net Thanks, Bill
