I had thought since I couldn't locate Thomas Mead Sr, that he had died by

the year 1910

Believe the following to be Thomas Mead Sr., who is living with his sister

Johanna O'Connor in Columbia County , Pennsylvania

Note: have not followed the family of Johanna. Her husband maybe the Connor

that is living with the Mead family in the 1870 census.

Wow! You amaze me Jelora....

I have one question that I can think of right now. (Still trying to sort all your info out) If Henry/Harry Meade and Elizabeth Carroll were married on May 25 1916 then why did my grandfather write his mother down for nearest relative on his WWI draft card? The card is stamped with the Date June 5, 1916. I don't know if you can answer that one. I am going to put this marriage cert down on my list of certs to order.

Thank you Jelora. You're amazing.

Just wanted to you know I am still searching. I had to slow down for a little while. Jelora helped me order certificates from the LDS. On on certificate I found that Thomas Mead(e) (my great grandfather) was buried at St Mary's of the Snow Church in Saugerties NY. I finally took a trip out there. Unfortunately I did not find a headstone for Thomas Meade. I did find a headstone for Margaret Murray (Thomas's mother.) My heart flipped when I found it. Thank you Jelora and all the managers of this wonderful site. It's wonderful to see all the amazing work that you all do for all your members. I always recomend this site to people who are researching Engish and Irish family. God Bless you all.

Hi Lynn..

Sometimes, it seems like our ancestors are just waiting to be found and they inspire someone to find the clues that will open that path.

I'm happy to have helped you find Margaret Murray... it must have been quite a moment of discovery.

Thanks for the Kudos.. It is our pleasure to help one and all if we can!

Jelora ,Mike, Marian, Kay and Liz.
