Open
I am originally from Middleboro/Lakeville. My great, great, great grandfather, Stephen Thomas, formed and was the Capt of Co. D of the 18th Mass, which was raised from Middleboro during the Civil War. I am writing to inquire as to any collections the museum may have relating to the Thomas family in general, to Stephen Thomas in particular, or to others who served in the 18th Mass regiment.
It is possible that Myron Thomas (the son of Bradford Thomas) donated a collection of items to the museum approximately 15-20 years ago.
I have been researching the regiment for several years with two other individuals who had ancestors in it, and we have a website 18thMass.com that is a resource for people seeking information on the regiment or on specific men who were in it. Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Steve McManus
