Family of Thomas, William?
  Narrative

Family is speculative. See notes for William b.1750. David and William associate together in Franklin Co, VA. Most likely connected with Thomas' of Amelia Co, VA who came from Gloucester Co, VA.

Alternate theory is they came from York Co, PA with the Diehl/Teel's . I have found DNA matches to Teel descendants which suggest William was -in-law to the Diehl's! Indeed, the Diehl's came from an area in York Co, PA next to Thomasville (Dover is 6 miles away). Curiously, Ephraim Thomas formed Thomasville in Oregon Co, MO when he moved there. Which leads to this record:
