NOTES ON THOMAS WOMACK

There has been much confusion, and speculation, about the parentage of Thomas. He has 
been assigned many different parents over the years and no proof has been given to 
prove them one way or the other. Below are some notes received from Joyce Wommack, and 
other Womack researchers.(RGW)

Louvisa Rice w/o Thomas A. Womack d/o John Rice and Mary Finney (see WFC Apr85). John 
Rice was a member of the First Court of Lunenburg, VA, and served in the Lunenburg Co, 
Militia in 1747, then in Halifax Co, when created from Lunenburg Co, VA(pg32 WG Dec1957).

Thomas A. Womack h/o Louvisa Rice, parents unknown. From descendants of Thomas and 
Louvisa Rice: He was known only as Thomas. WOMACK FAMILY COURIER, P.O. Box 1320, 
Winnfield, LA. 71483-1320 (Jan84 Oct88)  his first name as John,  no proof?  Also,  
middle initial "A" believed to be for Abner,  Abrams or Abraham,  no proof?  
(publication terminated 1988).   
From  Barbara DeHart,   P.O. Box 400, Estacada, OR., 97023  (May89). Thomas and Louvisa 
were married 22 Feb 1766 in Halifax Co., VA.     
(Note: Have yet to hear or see the source for this--although asked for many times--Sam)

Thomas was born in Halifax Co., VA., the s/o Abner Womack. Louvisa was born ca 1745 in VA.     
Records show that Thomas lived in Halifax and Prince Edward Co, VA, before moving to 
Burke Co, NC, where he died after 1781. Revolutionary pay voucher and before 1790 census.     
All his children had to have been born in these areas. The county names changed as new 
counties were created, but the locations remained the same (RBW).

in Lincoln Co Deeds. They were in Burke Co, NC before  Rutherford Co, NC, was formed.

as there are no further Records until Louvisa Appeared on the 1790 census in Rutherford Co, 
NC, with her family.

PRINCE EDWARD CO VA Deed Book 1, pg 146.. 14 Mar 1758...John Robertson and wife Amy of 
Pr. Ed. Co. to Thomas Womack--18 pounds & 5 shillings...100 acres on branch of RICE'S 
BRANCH. Proven 1758. 
Deed Book 4, pg 60..18 Nov 1771 Thomas Womack of Pr. Ed. Co. to Sharp Spencer 65 pounds-- 
100 acres on branch of RICE'S BRANCH. Proven 1771.  That this is the same THOMAS WOMACK
is speculation; but the feeling is strong by this writer (RBW).

In the first census of the United States in 1790, Louvisa was listed in the Rutherford Co, 
NC census as head of a family with two males over 16 and four males under 16. In the 1800 
census she was listed as over 45 years old with one male 26-45 and one male 16-26. She 
lived in Rutherford Co, NC between 1800 and 1810.

Mrs. Martha Thompson, above, believes that Thomas was in fact "Thomas Abner Womack" s/o 
Richard Womack III and Ann "Nancy" Childers.

"FROM OVER THE OZARKS"  by Jean Lurvy,   9 Aug 1965.
NEW CLUES/SPECULATIONS ON THE PARENTAGE OF THOMAS WOMACK OF BURKE CO, NC by Fay Hoodock,   
taken from Womack Family Courier.     

It seems to me that it's time for everyone to get in on the discoveries that have been 
kicking around among some of us privately for awhile. Though a lot of WFC suscribers are 
descendants of THOMAS WOMACK 7 LOUVISA RICE WOMACK, (Annette Womack Carpenter, author of 
Womack Family Courier, now defunct), quite rightly, cut off futile discussion of what has 
been a dead end for sometime. Maybe the mystery has yielded, just a bit, and I offer these
items as evidence; see what you all think.     

Mr. Gordon Runion of Inman, SC, a descendant of Jeremiah and Sarah Womack Blanton  
(Sarah being the daughter of William & Lucy Womack Womack and granddaughter of Thomas & 
Louvisa Rice Womack), found a memoir written by the Rev. C. Lee born 3 Mar 1823; died 
2 Jul 1898.  Rev. Lee was a Methodist minister and is buried at Providence Church near 
Henrietta, NC,   where several Womacks are buried also.     

The Memoir was written about 1895, and I quote the entire passage dealing with the Womacks.
Sorry, I only have two xeroxed pages and have no idea how long the original was.     

QUOTE:  There are two families in this county, the origin of which, I presume, is known but 
by few. I refer to the BLANTON and WOMACK  families. They were in this county as far back 
as I can go in memory. THOMAS WOMACK and NANCY BLANTON came from England to America about 
the year 1760. They had two children before leaving England but had not been married. Their 
children's names were THOMAS and ARCHEE. Shortly after coming to America, they decided to 
marry. THOMAS took the name of his father and ARCHEE the name of his mother, and so in the 
process of time there were two families, one headed by THOMAS WOMACK and the other by 
ARCHEE BLANTON.     

In the year 1779 these two families moved to Rutherford Co., NC. Archee Blanton was the 
father of our own "Uncle Jerry Blanton" of such precious memory. This good old man lived 
right near what is now called Oak Grove Church. Fifty-five years ago, I think it was 
called Blanton's Church. Uncle Jerry and Aunt Sallie were noted characters. They were 
proverbial for piety and exemplary living. Aunt SALLIE was the daughter of THOMAS WOMACK.

ARCHEE BLANTON and THOMAS WOMACK were full brothers, having the same father and mother, 
a very novel case it was. And so, Uncle JERRY and Aunt SALLIE were first cousins, lived 
together for many years, and raised a large family of children. I remember being at their 
house in the year 1842. Churchwell A. Crowell was then the Methodist preacher on the 
circuit and I had gone with him to Blanton's Church and uncle Jerry's for dinner.     

This is the only time that I remember to have been in their house, for I left the country 
the following year and went out west, but I remember to have seen the old people often at 
church and to have heard Aunt Sallie talk and pray and praise, for she was a great hand 
to shout and rejoice in church. She was faithful in obeying the command, "Pray to thy 
Father who is in secret," and the promise following the command, "thy Father, who seeth 
in secret shall reward thee openly" was always fulfilled. She would clasp her hands and 
bless the Lord.     

Many a one has been deeply impressed with the earnestness with which she would engage in 
the Holy exercises of the sanctuary. Even the very covering of her hands seemed to be 
impressive by the way they were used.    

Just the other day while talking about the old people with the wife of FRANKLIN BLANTON, 
who is a grandson of Aunt Sallie, she told me what a lady once said to her, while she 
held one of the old lady's half handed cloth gloves in her hands, which she had chanced 
to come across and seemed almost to regard as being sacred. "Often," she said, "have I 
seen this old glove slap glory to God," and she was keeping it as a religious relic,  
something that would bring up pleasant associations in the mind of a religious nature,   
and nothing would more certainly bring about such associations in the mind of this women 
than "Aunt Sallie's glove". The two old people have long since passed away and gone to 
reap their reward for faithfullness in the Master's vineyard.     

They had nine children, all of whom grew to manhood and womanhood, RILEY, JESSE, JOSIAH, 
RANSOM, JACKSON, STEVEN and ELIJAH were the names of the sons. TEMPA and SARAH ANN  were 
the names of the daughters. I believe that, they all had families and raised a good many 
children.
UNQUOTE.    

SARAH WOMACK BLANTON was born 10 Aug 1872 (sic-Sam)) and died 29 Jan 1858, she has been 
listed as daughter of LUCY (daughter of THOMAS) who married her cousin WILLIAM WOMACK.
This is an understandable confusion, since most of William and Lucy's children went to 
Tennessee with them about 1810. Mr. Runion sent this very intriguing memoir to PAULINE 
WOMACK, who sent it to me. I have puzzled over it for a couple of years, and have 
gradually learned, with the considerable help of Jean Lurvey and of Kenneth Wilde, a Rice 
researcher of San Bernardino, CA, that on 17 May 1751,  in Amelia Co, VA,  a presentment 
was made against  ABRAHAM WOMACK and ANN BLANTON (Ann being a variant of Nancy,or vice 
versa) for living in adultry.(see Amelia Co, VA, Order Book Nr 1-A, 1746-1751). Although 
the presentment did not mention offspring, the coincidence is great and the date compatable 
with the traditional birthdate (ca 1743) of THOMAS WOMACK and ARCHEE? 

Along with the constantly readjusting of county lines, there were two complicated things;   
several Womacks, and indeed two Abrahams in the county.(See records at the end of this 
article.) One is always referred to as ABRAHAM JR. and is no doubt the son of the other 
ABRAHAM.

Others mentioned in 1751 road work assignments along with the two Abrahams are, THOMAS 
WOMACK, WILLIAM WOMACK, and ISHAM WOMACK, with CHARLES CAUTHON and JOHN SPRADLING.     

1. Who married, respectively(Cauthon and Spradling), Elizabeth and Mary Womack, daughters 
of Abraham, son of Thomas (dca 1734 Chesterfield Co, VA)     

2. The older Abraham, at least in 1743-1752, had a wife Jane. In 1771, one Abraham, then 
married Elizabeth and removed to Lincoln Co, NC, where he died in 1803. I have some 
questions in mind as to whether this is infact Abraham Sr,  or if it might be Abraham Jr,   
I have seen no conclusive evidence.  His son Abner R.S.(Revolutionary Soldier? (RBW),  
bca 1764 in Prince Edward Co, VA, went to Butler Co., KY.     

3. As little as we know about Thomas Womack, we know even less about Archee Blanton.    
The only record of a man by that name, is in Wilkes Co, NC, where he appears in 1810 
census, and in several land records. 

4. Oscar Womack's book "THE DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS & LOUVISA RICE WOMACK" includes a Bible 
entry stating that Jeremiah Blanton was "son of Robin", Robin probably being Reuben Blanton,   
who was in Rutherford Co, NC, in the late 1700's. Could Archee and Reuben be the same man?     
Further research is clearly needed. Descendants of Jeremiah and Sarah should be especially 
interesting.     

5. Then there is the question of Ann/Nancy Blanton's origin. Assuming that the "1760-
came-from-England" story is a 200 year old cover-up, as seems likely, considering the 
improbability of coincidence in the Lee Memoir and the Amelia Co, VA, 1751 adultery 
charge, we now have to look for her family. In the Amelia/Goochland/Lunenburg area,  
there does appear a Joshua Blanton.     

6. According to some sources, for which I have not yet seen documentation, Joshua Blanton  
was over 16 and living in the household of Abraham Womack Sr,  at the same time than an 
Abraham Womack and Ann Blanton were living in adultery. The earliest Blanton records appear 
in Caroline Co, VA. It is tempting, but as yet speculative, to believe that Joshua and Ann 
were the children of another Anne Blanton, who on  9 Feb 1738/9, petitioned the church 
wardens of St. Margaret's Parish, Caroline Co, VA, to apprentice them to William Morris.     
The children, name and sex not specified, were born 21 Oct 1728 and 13 Nov 1734  
(see Caroline Co, VA,  Order Book). Further study may reveal whether William Morris moved 
westward, taking his two charges with him, or perhaps transferred them to someone else who 
moved into the vicinity of Abraham Womack. 

7. It's not likely that the Anne Blanton who bound out her children in Caroline Co, VA, is 
the same Ann Blanton who was convicted of bastardy several times in the 1760-70 era and 
was granted seperate maintenance from her husband Thomas Reynolds in 1781.     

 8. "Sorry about this, Cousins, but every family stew need a dash of salt. It seems like 
an overlong childbearing career, and it is worth considering that the later Ann of Caroline 
could have been the Ann of 1751 in Amelia, Co, VA, returning to the Blanton's home county 
and continuing along her merry way. All this begins to get into what EFFIE Keaster (GA), 
my friend and Womack cousin (from Martha Womack m/ Robert Beene, Marion Co, TN,) calls 
A'P'LIKE'(as in a childs a'p'like' we're astronauts')--little documentation, much 
speculation. But informed speculation leads to discovery,   and I hope that researchers 
who have any more clues to add will send them along, so we can someday unravel this mystery.     

This information is not to be taken as completed research---more as a summary of work in 
progress as an appeal for others with an interest in THOMAS WOMACK to dive in.     

1. JOHN SPRADLING appears as a witness in Burke Co, NC, records(Morgan Dist. Court 1782)   
with THOMAS WOMACK in a case of adultery against William Wofford and Lucia spradling.     
William Wofford, in 1778, bought 125 acres on the Nor Fork of the Catawaba, formerly 
entered and owned by William Womack, 29 Dec 1778; Burke Co, NC, Land Records.    
THOMAS WOMACK on that same day entered land on Tomes Creek, which was later transferred 
to George Little, because the land was not paid for. This could be the William "Wofford"  
who witnessed the WILL of MARY FARLEY WOMACK, widow of THOMAS I of Chesterfield Co, VA,  
in 1750, although this is unproven. At any rate, the families are closely involved in 
North Carolina.     

2. WILL of THOMAS WOMACK of Henrico Co, VA, dated 24 Mar 1732/33, lists sons Abraham,   
William, Isham, Thomas, & Francis; along with daughters Judith, Sarah, Elizabeth, and 
Martha; and wife Mary.  WILL of MARY "FARLEY" WOMACK  Chesterfield Co, VA, dated 23 Jul 
1750 names sons  Francis, Thomas, Abraham, Isham and William, along with daughters  
Judy Booth, Sarah Rise, Elizabeth Hatch, Mary Man and  Martha Roberts. VIRGINIA LEGAL  
(22 Apr 1812 and other issues)  contained names of parties to the estate of William Womack 
in Charlotte Co, VA,  Court of Chancery, in re: PLEASANT ROBARDS, STEPHEN ROBARDS, 
WILLIAM ROBARDS, MARTHA ROBARDS, FANNIE IRBY nee ROBARDS, JUDY CHANDLER nee ROBARDS  
children and representatives of MARTHA ROBARDS nee WOMACK deceased, plaintiffs,  vs the 
defendants: THOMAS WOMACK  administrator of WILLIAM WOMACK's estate. ABNER WOMACK,   
ELIZABETH CAUTHRON nee WOMACK, JOHN SPRATLIN  and MARY his wife nee WOMACK, MARTHA WOMACK, 
children and representatives of ISHAM WOMACK, deceased. FRANCIS RICE, THOMAS RICE,   
SAMUEL RICE, ABRAM RICE, ISHAM RICE, MOLLY CHEATHAM nee RICE; children and representatives 
of SARAH RICE, deceased, nee SARAH WOMACK. FRANCIS HAMBLETON and DANIEL OWEN  and MARY 
his wife nee HAMBLETON, children and representatives of JUDY HAMBLETON WOMACK, deceased.     
MARY MANN nee WOMACK. FURKERING nee HATCHETT and  WILLIAM HATCHETT, children and 
representatives of ELIZABETH HATCHETT nee WOMACK, deceased. Heirs of the estate of WILLIAM
WOMACK to share proceeds of sale of land and slaves. This William died without issue,   
and the heirs were his sisters and brothers. his AD has been a valuable source in helping 
to identify descendants of THOMAS and MARY.     

3. ABRAHAM WOMACK  of Orange Co, NC, in Mar1772, deeds show him and Alexander Davidson 
parties to a Deed witnessed by MOSES BRIDGES who was by 1784 in Rutherford Co, NC; and 
several of whose children married Blanton's. (possibly Abraham Womack Jr?)      

4. Wilkes Co, NC census 1810;  ARCHIBALD BLANTON, 1 male over 45,   3 females 10-16,   
1 female over 45. Wilkes Co, NC Deed Books; 12 May 1795, ARCHER BLANTON witnessed Deeds;   
ADAMS & HENDERSON; Jan 1803, GRAY & MITCHELL; 1805, MYERS & HAMBY; 1807, ADAMS & CRAIN.     

5. There is also a claim, sanctified by DAR listing, but lacking much proof, that  
JEREMIAH was a son of WILLIAM BLANTON, R.S. William was probably a brother of GEORGE 
BLANTON of Rutherford Co, NC. Both appear on a 1764 Lunenburg Co, VA, Tax list of ST. 
James Parish. William died in Washington Co, VA, ca 1817. His daughter's claim for a 
pension does not list Jeremiah as a son.      

6. Halifax tithables 1771, SW section Miry Creek. (County formed from Lunenburg)  
Partial List: Wm. Dobbie, Robert Rakestraw, Robert Locksley Stubblefield, Lewis, Betty, 
George Stubblefield, William Stubblefield, William Cauthon, Joshua Blanton, Henry, Gwen, 
Nan, James Spradlin, Charles Spradlin, James Spradlin Jr. (single names are slaves).     
Joshua Blanton sold land in Charlotte Co, VA, 21 Oct 1787, to Alexander Womack 
(must be Alexander Jr, as Sr,  died ca 1782/4, (RBW). This Joshua is probably the one 
who married Elizabeth Nelson (Will of Ambrose Nelson, Mercer Co., KY., 1797. Nelson lived 
in Prince Edward Co., VA., in 1794). Elizabeth's mother, Rhoda Daniel, was sister of 
Sarah Daniel, who married first to Jesse Womack and married second to Mr. Hancock.    
VA. HEADS OF FAMILIES 1785, Prince Edward Co, VA JOSHUA BLANTON  14 white souls,   
1 dwelling,  5 other bldgs.      

7. Intriguingly, the Caroline Co, VA Order Book mentions WILLIAM MORRIS and wife 
ANN in 1743. MECKLENBURG Co, VA; WILLIAM MORRIS of Brunswick Co, VA, to Thomas Anderson
of Lunenburg Co, VA; 404 acres on Little Bluestone Creek adj, to MORRIS and Lidderdale.   
Witnesses; John Cox, John Clakson, ABRAHAM WOMACK JR, RICHARD EPPERSON, 8 Jun 1767.     

8. ANN gets a wapish, male chauvinist swipe from T E Campbell in Colonial Caroline;   
"Ann Blanton was lucky to have a husband. Ten years before,   she had been convicted 
of adultry with John Mason and subsequently bore several bastards. One of whom she 
claimed that John Beverly Roy was the father, but Roy managed to escape when she sued 
him for child's support. In spite of this unsavory background, the court ruled that 
Thomas Reynolds must pay for seperate maintenance. "Compiled by:  Fay Hoodock,  
2182 Dairy Farm Rd, Gambrills, MD 21054.

Reading this over, I'm afraid that I left the impression that I agree with Rev. Lee's 
statement that Sallie Womack Blanton was the daughter of Thomas, I don't. She fits well 
into William and Lucy's family, where she has always been placed. The confusion I spoke
of probably arose because she was the only one of William and Lucy's children who stayed 
in Rutherford Co, NC, when all the rest went to Tennessee. (FFH)

As the compiler of this genealogy I will keep Thomas Womack where I have placed him,    
as the son of William only because some  researchers have him placed there,  but no 
proof as yet. Like many others researchers I feel very confident he is the descendant of 
William Womack the Immigrant because of his association and relationship with the Womack's,  
in all the areas in which he lived. It is very hard to conceive that a man named Womack 
would Immigrate to this country over 100 years after the first Womack, move into their 
communities and have such close relationships with them. However I am very open to change 
my opinion when any proof supports a change.
Roger Womack (submitter of this data with references/sources).

He was married to Louvisa Rice about 1763 in Halifax Co VA.  Louvisa Rice was born about 
1745 in Halifax Co VA.  She died after 1800 in Rutherford Co NC. Moved to  Rutherford 
County, NC after the death of Thomas.

In the first census of the United States in 1790, Louvisa was listed in the Rutherford Co, 
NC census as head of a family with two males over 16 and four males under 16. In the 1800 
census she was listed as over 45 years old with onemale 26-45 and one male 16-26. She 
lived in Rutherford Co., NC between 1800 and 1810.

NOTES ON LUCY



Lucinda "Lucy" Womack w/o cousin William Womack
Birth determined by census, birth of children. Birth location was determined by location 
of parents and grandparents ca time of her birth. Location and date of death was taken 
from Womack Family Courier, sent in by Fay Hoodock. Data from DESCENDANTS of THOMAS & 
LOUVISA RICE WOMACK by Oscar Womack. Lucinda was probably oldest child evidently married 
before 1790 as she was not mentioned as a daughter of Louvisa Rice Womack in the census 
of 1790 and birth dates of her children as early as 1789 or perhaps earlier. She married 
a distant cousin William Womack, s/o Abraham Womack. Some of their children lived in 
Marion Co, TN A son, Isham Rice Womack, came from NC in 1810 and settled in Coffee Co, TN 
Their son-in-law Jonathan Eaves, bought property in White Co, TN as listed under his name. 
William Womack was on the Tax List of White Co, TN in 1821 and Minutes 1812-1814, William 
Womack bought a lot in Sparta, unable to determnine if this was Lucy's William. Other 
Womacks on the Tax List in White Co, TN were Josiah and Drury, 1827; and John and David 
in 1811. Womack Genealogy pgs 127-29 mentions grants in Warren Co, TN to Josiah and Drury 
Womack. In 1812, John Womack sold land in White Co, TN Reference to Womack Genealogy pgs 
123-24 regarding Womacks in White and ajoining counties. 

Others list her as dca 1835, buried at Sweden Cove, Marion Co, TN as was her husband 
William in 1820. One Lists Lucy's birth as about 1767 and death as about 1835.

Abt 1780 when Lucinda "Lucy" was 13, she married William WOMACK, son of Abraham WOMACK Jr 
(1726-6 May 1800) & Elizabeth STUBBLEFIELD (1736-Mar 1780), in V Born on 11 Nov 1753 in 
Halifax Co, VA. William died in Sweden Cove, Marion Co, TN on 20 Jan 1820; he was 66.

Louvisa, TA17430000. DT&LRW. From WOMACK GENEALOGY published McMinnville, Tn. Grave 
on Anderson's original land grant in Rutherford Co., NC. Tombstone reads: "In memory of

Children's names were furnished to WG by a descendant of Anderson's, 1959, living in Mill 
Springs, NC. He was a retired school teacher in his 70's and had done much research work 
on the Womack Family. James O. Womack, Columbia, SC, a nephew, had research papers on
Anderson, who was still living at the time of the 1820 & 1830 Rutherford Co., NC census, 
at which time there were three boys and six girls in the home. Anderson Womack received 
a grant of land from the state of NC. This was 100 acres on a branch running into Broad 
River adjoining the Widow Womack's line (evidently his Mothers's); Plat is dated 5 Aug 
1794. The chain carriers were James and George Womack. On 19 Jan 1802 he sold this tract
to Richard Simmons. 

Abt 1785 when Anderson was 19, he married Frances "Fanny" DOBBINS, in Rutherford Co, NC.

Abner Womack, son of Thomas and Louvisa, bt 1791 when Abner was 21, he first married 
Martha BYARS, daughter of Nathan BYARS & Drucilla HARRELSON, in Rutherford Co, NC. 
Born on 31 Dec 1774 in Orange Co, NC. Martha died in Warren Co, Tn bef 1820; she was 45.

Womack Genealogy Vol iii No. 2 Dec 1959 whole no. 6 
page 100: Abner emigrated ca. 1810 to Tennessee; and settled in the north part of 
Warren County near Collins River, and near a Cave Spring in the 15th district community 
surrently known as Crossroads. 

In 1816 he built a large 2 story log house on his homestead grant, which was known for 
more than a century as "old Hightop". Abner's home was constructed mostly of yellow 
poplar logs and some walnut for his large two story home with lots of windows and doors. 
Constructed up through the center of the home is a huge stone and hand made brick chimney 
with fire place opening in each of the large rooms, living room, dining rooms downstairs
and two bedrooms upstairs. Abner lived in the home unil his death, raising his younger 
children there. His son Ransom Pickney Womack inherited the home; then his son Benjamin 
Franklin Womack; then his daughter Miss Daisy Womack.

During the 1920's, Miss Daisy Womack, moved the house to a site about one mile west of 
McMinnville on the Nashville Highway, and lived in it till her death at age 93 in 1970. 
The house was widely known as "My Grandfather's House". The house is still standing to 
date, 1989, and used as a tourist attraction. Altho the last I heard it was no longer 
in the Womack Family.(RBW)1990) 

After the death of Martha in Warren Co., Abner journeyed to Rutherford Co., NC to marry 
another of the Byars Family. He mentioned her in his WILL as the step-mother of his 
children. 

Twenty two children were born to Abner & Martha. Fourteen of them lived to adult age and 
are listed in the WILL of Abner dated 28 Dec 1842. William, John, Nathan, Burgess, Abner 
Clemmons, Ransom Pinkney, Robert B., Greenberry H., Martha, Elizabeth, Lucy, Lecy, Mary 
and Drucilla.
Data sourcs: DT&LRW; NW CALK; WOMACK GENEALOGY ASSOCIATION; WOMACK FAMILY by Martha M. 
Thompson and several persons whom I (Ray Bryan Womack) have not access to names nor 
addresses at present. Abner died before 7 Jan 1856; m1/ ca 1790, Rutherford Co, NC? 

Birth place has been given as Halifax, VA, (but land records show that Thomas was in 
Prince Edward County by 1758.).
