John Thomas was born in 1640 in Pembrokeshire, Wales.
He died 08 October 1729, age 89, in Kingston, Rhode Island.
Needless to say, I don't have any photographs of him. But I'm starting my post with him today because today is St. David's Day -- the national holiday of Wales. For some reason it gives me joy to have Welsh ancestors, even if I had to go back 500 years to find them. (Maybe latent memories of a past life there?)
John's wife was named Abigail, and they had a son George, who was born in 1681. That's as far back as we've been able to trace the Thomas family lineage -- ten generations.
And... in honor of St. David's Day and my Welsh ancestors, I've finally finished organizing and publishing last year's blog posts in book form. (Kindle format. I haven't re-worked it for paperback yet.) It is actually two books, because there were too many pages to put it all in one book.
