Today's surname is Thomas, the name of one of my gg grandmothers. (I've included Ahnentafel numbers to make the relationships clearer.)

Obviously, there is much work to be done on this line. Jesse Thomas was living in Murray County, Georgia in 1840 and 1860 and in neighboring Lumpkin County in 1850. Nothing else is known about him.
