Was the Apocrypha included in the original KJV meant to be canonical?

Paul:
The 1611 version of the KJV references verses from the Apocrypha in the canonical books...

mharrell08:
Paul this may help with your question. I know it is not the shortest commentary, but it being thorough really covers all about the Bible.

David:
While its clear that the Apocryphal books are not inspired scripture, they are interesting from a historic perspective and shed light on ancient Jewish traditions etc. In particular there are extensive passages in the book of Tobit that shed much light on Jewish marriage which the canonical scriptures do not. The accounts in the book of Tobit about the marriage of Tobias and Sarah bare out the secular historic record on how ancient Jewish marriages were arranged and contracted.

Martinez:

What about the gospel of Thomas, does anyone know anything about that?

winner08:
In the gnostic gospels the do have the gospel of Thomas. If your interested.They found these text in Egypt. They were writings from the 2nd and 3rd centuries. But the question is, are they believable. If anything they're interesting.
