A Thomas family reunion is planned for Saturday, June 4, 2005, at the new Lamar County High School Cafeteria, Highway 18 west, Vernon, AL, for the descendants of John Tapley Thomas and Sarah Key/Thomas, who moved from Georgia to Lamar County, Alabama sometime in the 1860's. Our first documentation of that date is when John Tapley donated land for the Emmaus Church on July 21, 1868. His parents are believed to be Beasley/Bradley Thomas and Martha a/k/a Patty Key.

Children of John Tapley and Sarah Thomas are; Virginia "Jennie married to Sherwood Redderick Holley; Simeon Brantley married to Nancy Coplin/Copeland and Margaret J. Graves; William H. married Unknown; John Christopher Columbus "Lum" married Martha E. Jackson and Georgia Baker; Mary Jane married James Benjamin Chandler; Elizabeth "Lethia married Thomas Harvey "Tom" Finch; Franklin Pierce married Molly Riley.

Anyone interested in these family lines is welcome. For additional information contact Nelda Thomas Northington or Jim Thomas or Kawatha Chandler Koonce at .

Please bring information from Bibles, or other information on your family and a copy of any photos you are willing to share.

A luncheon is planned for 12:00 noon at Lamar County High School Cafeteria, Vernon, Lamar County, Alabama. Please bring a covered dish/beverage. Eating utensils and ice will be furnished.

Please join us at 10:00AM to visit and share information before lunch.
