In the 1920 Census for Strawberry Township, Izard County,
I find the following THOMAS families:

Walter Thomas, 36 Dwelling # 117
Docia 36
Marvin 4
Annie 1
***********
Sarah Thomas, 57 Dwelling # 167
Elden 33
Owen 16
Fanny 15
Elsie 18...dau. in law
************
Frank Thomas, 30 Dwelling # 168
Isabella 26
Coy 2
Roy 1
***********
MART THOMAS 25.........son of John listed below
Ella (Weaver) 21
Bessie 3 Dwelling # 171
Nellie Lee 1
**********
JOHN (W.) THOMAS 54 TN VA TN
Susie (Roberts) 46....d/o Wm. Asbury Roberts
Arch 23
John 19 Dwelling # 172
Virgil 15
James 8
**********
John W.Thomas and his son Mart are my relatives. John
came to Sharp County in early 1880's with his father
Christopher C. Thomas from Marshall Co., TN. Christopher
was living with John & Susie Thomas family in 1900 Sharp Co.
census. Christopher's wife, Susan Fowler, died in the 1870's
in TN. She is related to many of the Fowlers who live in Sharp
County. Also in this family group were the Hortons.

QUESTION: Why would John Thomas move from Sharp Co. to
Izard Co., to live in Strawberry Twp.. in close proximity to the
Walter, Sarah & Frank Thomas families if they were not related?
Does anyone have any additional information about
Walter/Sarah/Frank THOMAS families that they would share?
Maybe this all ties together.
