Hi Geralene & Joe, Thanks for responding. From the 1860 Census in Sullivan Co TN , I found Thomas' family as being in Piney Flats, TN which is in the eastern part of TN and is on 11 W/E. From whereI live (Richlands, VA) I go to Bristol and Johnson City and that runs into Piney Flats,TN. I descend from Thomas, William and Loren line and my mother, Mary Newton Hall. I don't know if Thomas ever lived in NC. My grandfather, Loren, was born in Indiana, but his father, William was married in Bristol, VA. Thanks, Faye
