Margretta,
I have sent you an e-mail to your personal address, but I thought I would post here that I do know that Henry and Rachel Thomas (parents of this family) and at least two of their children (Henry and Daniel S.) Joined with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons) while living in Kentucky (according to one record I have,they left Tennessee in 1827 and moved to Kentucky.)They left Kentucky to join other members of this Church in Missouri.It was here that the elderly Henry and Rachel Thomas both passed away and are buried in Missouri.After persecutions became intense, the two Thomas brothers left Missouri and moved to Illinois - as all the members of the Church did.In illinois, Henry parted with the Church and remained there.Daniel continued with the Church and moved his family on to Utah.I have some writings of Daniel S. Thomas and his wife, Martha P. Jones Thomas that describe alot of the circumstances around their continued movings, if anyone is interested.Hope that helps clarify some of this. Would love to correspond more - I believe you have some info on the family that I don't have.
