  • Notes 
    • To trace Charles Thames back to his parents I checked the 1880 Alabama census & found:
      1880 Providence District, Chilton County, AL
      James W. Thames 48
      Elizabeth Thames 43
      Charles Thames 15
      John Thames 11
      Francis E. Thames 9
      Susan F. Thames 7
      Lehetabell Thames 5
      Rutha B. Thames 75
      (Note: In 1880 Rutha Banks Cobb Thames was living with son, James W. and family.)

      Rutha B. Thames is the mother of James W. Thames and grandmother of your Charles Thames, age 15 in 1880. Rutha Banks Cobb married John Thames in December 1820 and they had a large family. John Thames was born about 1799 in Cumberland County, NC and died Jan 1865 in Shelby County, AL. Circumstantial evidence and comparison of many records indicate John is the son of Thomas Thames (b. c1765 NC) and his first wife whose name is unknown at this time. Thomas Thames remarried in 1805 to Nancy Tolar & by 1813 records prove they are living in Twiggs County, GA.
      I am a direct descendent of Thomas Thames & his first wife through their son, Thomas Jefferson Thames (b. 1792 NC and died 1837 Crawford County GA).
