John Ashley Thomas and Elizabeth Curlee had another son named John Ashley Thomas Jr. Wattie Hill's Phigenia sister married Samuel Paul Thomas or Lucy Lenora Broadaway. If you ever find a picture of her. I would be very thankful. I got a picture of Enoch Millard Thomas's wife and Jonah Lee Thomas and James Henry Thomas and his wife Lillie Kendall. My grandmothers picture would be a find.
Thank you for the information Timothy. Some of the Hill clan is hard to research. I don't think many of them left writings or pictures. Maybe we could get together online and discuss the line.
