Joseph R. SR. and Sarah Catherine Grabeel Thomas.  He was 
the husband of Cinth Jane Henegar Thomas.

Seeking comments about this listing.  Because of the 
number of Josephs, etc. please quote the entire message 
and break into the quote and add what you would like to 
say. I don't expect anyone to sort out all of the problems -- 
just please do add what you can -- if you disagree that 
is fine also -- and if a question comes to mind, please 
write it.  Thank you.

For the Joseph THOMASes -- the Jr and Sr needs to be from 
a document or Family Bible.  Otherwise, it would be easy 
to think they are separate THOMAS families, which of course 
could be true.

Also, are we talking about HeNNeger, HenegAr, Heneger?
