He was a William Thomas as well. Your family isn't the only one to name kids in succession like that. One branch of my family tree had a John Puddicombe every other generation for quite a while. And I know a gentleman at church who is named for his father and he named his son after himself so there are three in a row in that family with the same name. What is even more confusing at times is that the youngest one's wife is named Jessica and his little sister is also named Jessica.
