He was married to Elizabeth Barrett (daughter of E.C. Barrett?) on Jul 12 1844 in Hall Cty, Georgia. Elizabeth Barrett was born in 1828 in Ellijay, Gilmer Cty, Georgia. She died after 1870 in Hamilton Cty, Tennessee. There is some question as to whether Elizabeth was a Barrett or Barton. There were many Bartons involved in the Thomasom family. She is rumored to be Cherokee and being born in Elijay, a Cherokee town at the time, seems to lend credence to this theory. Zemery V. Thomason and Elizabeth Barrett had the following children:

            2 i. William Thomason was born in 1846 in Hall Cty, Georgia.

            +3 ii. John L. Thomason.

            4 iii. Martha Thomason was born in 1852 in Hall Cty, Georgia.

            +5 iv. James Harmon Thomason.

            Unproven, but I suspect this may be Young Thomason,
            with Adeline Gober Thomason and Jessie and Lela.
            It was a family tintype with no description,
            but in the possession of Jessie.
