I'm crossposting to several lists (something I normally don't do but I am
desperate!). Looking for anyone who has info on THOMAS of German extraction.
I have:

Gottreid Thomas
d. 1818
married Anna Maria ?

Michael Thomas
b. 6-16-1797, Rebuck, PA
d. 3-16-1860, Jefferson Co., PA
m. Lydia Delp

John George Thomas
b. 1-30-1819
d. 1-31-1881
m. Elizabeth Spangler

Jacob Thomas
b. 11-11-1844, Jefferson Co., PA
d. 7-31-1929, Clay Co., WV
m. Christena Reitz

I have the maternal lines pretty well filled in on Reitz, and later, Procious
(Brosius), but have hit a real roadblock on THOMAS. I've not completely
discounted the possibility that these German THOMAS'S may have migrated
through England, Ireland or Wales, but I do know that the family Bible passed
on to a cousin of mine is in German, with all the writing contained in it
(minimal) also in German.

Any help on this particular line would be much appreciated!
