Hi Marcia, We are glad that you have Francis Marion's bible record. We would love to get a copy of it for our records. It is hard to figure out who Thomas 6 yrs old could be. Probably not F. M or Susie's son, since he is not listed as a child in the bible. Could be Susie's brother (but listed as a Marriott). We may never know. After the Civil War, lots of unusual things happened.
