Notes for NATHAN THOMAS:
This is a working database and purely speculation.

From Nancy Thomas nthomas@door.net

Felix Washington Thomas is my great-great-grandfather. No one knows for sure who the parents were of John, Felix, Daniel, Larkin, Polly and Priscilla. I believe they were Nathan Thomas and Priscilla Goynes. They were married in Attala county about the right time to be their parents and they disappear before the 1850 census. Also, Polly names a son Nathan and a daughter Priscilla.

The Thomases and Bridges are intermarried. John married three times and two of them were Bridges (sisters). John's family stayed in Louisiana and there are still several descendents in the Bienville Parish area. I've been in touch with several of them and they think Nathan Thomas and Priscilla Goynes are the missing parents also but again no proof. My family moved to Texas and never settled down in one place long enough to get written about in the county history books.

I've tried finding Daniel, Larkin and Priscilla and have hit a dead end. As far as I can tell none of them moved with Polly to Texas or John and Felix to Louisiana. There is a Larkin Thomas in Louisiana in a neighboring Parish that is probably our Larkin but I haven't been able to find anyone researching him.

He stopped at Lake Village on the southeast side of Arkansas for about a year or two. Then went on to Bienville Parish, LA. His family stayed there while mine went on to Texas after the war. ( Lake Village AR Chicot Co.)
