THOMAS Family Tree – Connecting the Past to the Present!
John (Jean) THOMAS was born 9 February 1787 in Charlottetown, St. John's Island
John (Jean) THOMAS was the child of John THOMAS and Marguerite (Margaret) HIGGINSONSpouse(s)/Partner(s) and Child(ren):
John (Jean) married Brigitte Marguerite MCGRATH (MCGRAW) 23 January 1815 in Tracadie, New Brunswick, Canada . The couple had (at least) 12 children.
Brigitte Marguerite MCGRATH (MCGRAW) was born October 1794 in Tracadie, New Brunswick, Canada (Tracadie-Sheila). Brigitte Marguerite died 25 May 1870 in Tracadie, New Brunswick, Canada (Tracadie-Sheila). Brigitte Marguerite was the child of Michael Stephen MCGRATH (MCGRAW) and Brigitte-Félicité ROBERT dite LEBRETON.
John (Jean) THOMAS died 17 January 1875 in Tracadie, New Brunswick, Canada .
Notes: John Thomas possibly baptized 2 Nov. 1788 at St. Paul's Church Charlottetown, P.E.I., the son of John and Margaret Thomas. The name of John Thomas' mother is given in the Tracadie registers as Margaret Higginson. A widow, Margaret Higgenson married William Drysdalle. John junior was about 5 years old when he arrived at Tracadie. I believe John Thomas Sr. was from Wales.
