The 300 year history of 11 generations of the THOMAS family of Devon and New Zealand. This family history details the life of brothers John Thomas, George Thomas and John's son John - whom were all born in Devon, England. John Thomas (Snr) came to NZ in 1854. His wife Jane and their children John 4, and William 6 (for whom a separate book is available - see above), and John's brother George arrived soon after. His son John Thomas married Phebe Woods and they had 15 children... 8 of whom went on to marry and raise families.

The main family surnames from John are: Thomas (x8), and older generations include Lowe, Griffiths, Woods, Johns, Cates, Page (x2), Stevens, Segers, Martin, and Brown.
