He probably came in through what would become Effingham and Burke Co, that's where my ancestors entered through on the 1780s (Burke and Screven Co). They came south from North Carolina after the Revolutionary War.Thanks Sarah. I incorrectly thought James Thomas arrived in the Baldwin / Hancock area in 1760 but now after reading your comments realize he was more in the Colonial protection / buffer zone closer to the Ga SC line. Maybe Liberty or McIntosh Counties perhaps.
James Thomas is buried on his land in the Butts Thomas family cemetery in extreme north Baldwin at the Hancock line. Same cemetery where later the Thomas' started marrying into the Butts family, thus Wally's Dad and a few others are buried there too.
