My sources for this branch of the Thames family is compiled from information recorded in a book by Frances Thames Gaskin (daughter of Jesse James Thames and granddaughter of James Franklin Thames)(completed April 29, 1986) and through various links on the internet. I have cross referenced this information trying to verify dates and names. I hope that this information will be helpful to anyone trying to compile their "Thames" Family Tree. Some of the names are not available on the internet, but provide information as male or female and an "about" date of birth. I would be glad to receive any additional information that anyone might have to add to this collection. Please let us know if you have any other information, or can verify any information regarding any members of our tree.
