I have an Anna Amanda Thomas born 4 June 1876, died on 28 Jan 1917, she was 40. Buried in New Unity Baptist church. When she was 22 she married David Ezell Skinner, son of James Calvin Skinner and Martha Elizabeth Gates. David was born in Spartanburg SC in 1875 and died there in 1947. They had following known children, Ethel Mae, Mary Eugenia, James Simpson, Roy Thomas, Annie Louise, Martha Inez and David Ezell Jr. Amanda was daughter of Simpson M. Thomas and Malissa P. Gentry daughter of John Nathaniel and Martha C. Hoy Gentry. You can see how all these families connect by marriage. My 4th greats are Jonathan Floyd and Sally Gentry from this same area. Many Skinner/Floyd/Gentry/Thomas et families married and the book deals with most that stayed in this area of SC but chances are the ones in KY are related to these families in SC.
