Yes, I have Thomas in the 1817 will. His son Thomas 1788-1843 died single. I guess it is possible this could be the wayward son getting in fights in Chester Co. But most of the children stayed in Montgomery Co in Providence area. The Vanderslice and Allied Families book doesn't mention anything about his son Thomas other than he died single! (Maybe for a reason?!!). All but 2 of this Thomas's children are buried with him and his wife Tacy Richardson in a Presbyterian cemetery in Lower Providence, Montgomery Co called Mount Kirk, per the Vanderslice book. The son Joseph went to Columbia Co PA and died there. Not sure which other child is not buried at Mount Kirk. Will check the CCHS. The John b 1801 in/near Phoenixville is a grandson of the Thomas m Rebecca SCHENER, mentioned in my prior email, thru his father John, b 1767 who m Deborah FRANCIS and died in Pikeland in 8/29/1842, age 75/3/21.
