Does anyone know of any connection of REISS or RIESS of PA to THOMAS or to
any Virginia families shortly before or shortly after the F&I Wars?.

Here is a marriage record which could indicate possible ancestors of Joseph
THOMAS [1765- ] of Lee Co Virginia.

The chance is slim. This John THOME and Anna Maria REISS were probably
married in the twenties, so born in 1740s -- marriage age by 1767. Note
that another RIESS, Jacob RIESS, is in the same congregation as Anna Maria.
I don't know if the name rEiss and rIess are the same family, just
misspelled in one place or the other.

Others have told that the father of Joseph THOMAS [1765-?] was John THOMAS
born 1742. Joseph lived in Lee County VA before 1850 -- with other Lee Co
VA THOMASes.

There is a John THOMAS who shows several times in the early Russel Co VA
land records.

Family lore connects the THOMASes of Lee CoVA  with those of Heidelberg TWP
of Lebanon Co PA [was Lancaster Co early on]. More info is online and many
of the persons of W. H. Egel genealogy have been found in Heidelberg TWP.
