His first wife died during 1842 in GA and he remarried to Aisley Montgomery, the widow of William Montgomery. Aisley was the mother-in-law to two of John's sons. John died in 1846 and Aisley died shortly after 1850. She was nearly 70 yrs old.

His father could be William and his mother might be Sarah. Alternatively, his father could be John who was born circa April 1753 (in Louisa County, Virginia) as the son of Samuel T. Thomason and Ann Payne (1720-1812). Samuel T. and Ann Payne had another son William who might prove to be this man's father. That William married Unity Smith Hicks on 18 April 1786 in Louisa County, VA, but she might have been a second wife.

As of February 2017, the son Zemeriah shown below is now appropriately linked to his correct parents and no longer linked erroneously to Hannah Duncan or John P. Thomason. In fact, the memorial page for said Hannah Duncan as maintained prior to February of 2017 was so riddled with errors that it has been completed deleted by F-A-G officials.

Per the family bible for the family of Hannah Abercrombie and this man, fully located siblings of Zemeriah are shown below.

In 1798 Zemeriah's parents moved to Jackson, Georgia, most likely relocating temporarily with (and to the same general area as) the family of Zemeriah's grandfather James Abercrombie. They raised 12 children total. Two daughters of Hannah and John Thomason yet to be located below are Hannah (b. 1805 and m. David Barton), and Sarah Ann "Sally" (b. 1814 and m. Stephen Barton).

The provenance for the bible page appears in the 1991 book by Carol Jacobson (Sixth Revision 2001) entitled "John Thomason & Hannah Abercrombie of South Carolina and Georgia". Here's the quote: "About 1920, Calvin (Pink) and Lena Shields copied information from the family Bible while it was in the possession of Lena's mother (Rebecca, dau of Young Thomason). Mildred (Lena's sister) had the Bible when she [Mildred] passed away [35 years after it was transcribed by Lena], but Mildred's husband decided to get rid of things and burned it along with [other] genealogy papers." The fraudulent application for Indian money and the resultant erroneous ties to the Duncan/Dunkin family of the Cherokee Nation are also well researched and documented by Carol Jacobson.

In 1836, John enlisted and served in the Hall Co. Georgia Dragoons. A couple of years after Hannah's death, he married a 2nd time on 3 July 1842 in Hall County as discussed above.

In 1851, after his death and shortly after the death of his second wife, five of his sons (Zemeriah, Hiram, James, Young and Henry) migrated with their spouses and 42 children from Georgia to (what is now) Boone County, Arkansas. The group is believed to have traveled from Georgia with a U.S. government escort moving indians to the Oklahoma Territory. The rest of the siblings remained in Georgia and this was the beginning of many Thomason families in northern Arkansas and southern Missouri today.

15 January 2020: contributor 47619339 indicates the following: It is widely accepted that James Abercrombie married 1st Nancy Crumley and 2nd Mary Ann Beck of Cherokee Indian descent. The evidence points to the last four children being Mary Ann's and they all married in the Cherokee tribes moving to Arkansas and Oklahoma. Elizabeth, Mahala, Abia and Young David were Mary Ann's children and the others were Nancy Crumley. (Sources requested).
