But by that time (Edgefield), John had long since left if Tom/Wilm were indeed his parents? Why don't we do a timeline starting with the first record of Thomas that shows children with John listed and then progress by year to Wilkinson, Bibb, Crawford, Twiggs, and Gwinnett counties listing all that we know and laying it out chronology? It may help establish the point in time verses the locations so everyone can follow the trail. A few back and forths with everyone adding what they have or think may be most fruitful? A good discussion may show us something that has been missed? Thoughts, William W.

GA, not just across the river as was stated several times earlier...." Yes, Newberry/Union Cos are not near GA or ElbertCo. But where Tom/Wilm lived when they raised their kids is irrelevant. It is where Wilmoth and the kids all ended up that sets the "location" of this story. As adults, several of these kids were "just across the river" from their mother and other sibs.....all in a nice little circle.

HATCHER website: http://hatcherfamilyassn.com HALL DNA project: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~nhatcher/hall/HDNAtest.htm "If you can't stand the skeletons, stay out of the closet" - Val D Greenwood W W, Everyone in this picture has their timeline on their page. What you won't find is John with any connection to Tom (as you said, he was long gone and an adult before we pick him up in records). But I'll remind everyone of a trick to use on our site. You will often see the little magnifying glass at the end of a data field, such as birthplace. Find someone in this family born in WarrenCo, GA? Click the glass icon and you will see a list of everyone born in Warren. You can then select those born in your timeframe for further review. This list is NOT limited to the tree you're in but will pull people from all files. I'm already working on 2 other projects - Ebenezer (possible son of Edward of Pendleton) and a William who I've also found in BibbCo in the 1820s. Both of these are Unc families. I strongly suspect this Wm must be connected to Tom's family....just a matter of finding where. Wm's been DNA tested so we know he's an Im descendant. So I have no time to build a timeline on Tom et al, but anyone who wants to do so - go fer it!! Timelines are a very useful tool and I build them all the time. Nel
