In memory of Martha Newberry Thames, family matriarch
Our Special Thanks to Cousin William C. Fields III for the many documents and the
help he gave toward this endeavor, to include his tutelage.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God Blessed them, and God said unto them,
Be fruitful, and multiply.
Genesis 1:27-8

To all the Thames researchers
who have gone the extra mile and spent time in archives, dusty courthouses and cemeteries and crawling the Internet for valid sources – you are the ones who keep this family story growing. Thank you for sharing your findings over the years, be it by email, online family trees, and in person. This research could not have been compiled without your sweat equity.
To all the Thames descendants
who want to learn more about their ancestors. Thank you for your curiosity and interest in learning where you came from and learning more about the ancestors who shaped you into who you are today.
Bless you all.
In memory of Walt and Maxine for inspiring me to expand our family story.
Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back.
