For our family, the Thomas Branch splits into the Thomas, Dufford, Hays and Foster branches. V.F. Thomas, son of Peter Thomas and Sarah Dufford, married Jennie Hays, daughter of Thomas Hays and Keziah Foster in 1890. Both the Thomas and Hays families held regular family reunions, and I was fortunate to inherit many papers, notes on family history and old photographs from my own Thomas grandmother. Because each branch has it’s own story, each has its own page. Their pictures link to the stories of these families.
