One of my maternal great grandparents is David Luther Thomason. David Luther was born 24 December 1896 to James David Thomason and Martha Jane Chapman. He had the following siblings.
1). Baby Boy Thomason (1886-unknown)
2). Willie Thomason (1888-1962)
3). Charlie Woodson Thomason (1890-1956)
4). Mary Lou Thomason (1892- )
5). Henry Grady Thomason (1894-1980)
6). David Luther Thomason (1896-1967) **my great grandfather
7). Susie Thomason (1899-1983)
8). Ludie Bea Thomason (1903-1988)
9). Howard Thomason (1908-1952)
10). Sallie Cleo Thomason (1911-2003)
11). Baby Girl Thomason (1913- )
12). Claude L Thomason (1915-1990)
David Luther (I'm told he went by Luther) married Emma Lois Allen. I just realized that I do not have their marriage date or any documentation about it. I will add that to my research goals for the next year.
Luther and Lois had the following children.
1). Helen Louise Thomason (1924-2013) *We called her Aunt Ease, because saying Louise was hard sometimes for us kids.
2). Dorothy Mae Thomason (1926-1990) *She was killed in a car accident. I remember when this happened and it was awful.
3). Berney Jack Thomason SR (1931-2003) **This is my Grandfather, I called him "Afaw" which is my baby way of trying to say Grandpa and it stuck.
I did not get to meet David Luther because he passed 10 years before I was born. I don't know much about him at all other than the facts I've gathered. I remember my Mama spoke of him as being "Big Daddy" but I don't recall many stories about him. I'd like to find out more about him as a person.
