He served on the second grand jury, but after his father was killed, I didn't see any mention of him in public records. His father's killer was on trial with the third grand jury and that's probably why he didn't serve. I wonder what effect that had on Thomas and the rest of his life? Good luck and let me know if you find anything interesting. SECOND GRAND JURY. John H. Curry, foreman ; Benjamin Bradley, Palul Herryford, Peyton N. Mahan, John Woods, Thomas Donaldson, Charles S.
