View Article  Orange Thomas

Orange Thomas was my maternal great-grandfather.  His daughter, Hannah, was my grandmother.

Orange was born approximately 1860 in Alabama. Based on the 1880 census record, he and his family were residing in the Pike Road section of Montgomery, Alabama.

I was unable to find Orange on the 1870 census.  The only Orange Thomas that was found was living in Arkansas (Union Township) with a family by the name of Bill and Sarah Joseph.  His age was stated as 15.   

A few weeks ago, I ordered microfilm of probate records in Montgomery County, Alabama for the surnames of Thomas, Thompson, etc. in an effort to see if Orange could be found on any of these records.

While researching for this information, I will extract all slave related data and create a webpage to assist others in their endeavors.
