We really have a problem with the Thomas' referenced above and who their fathers were. Wished someone knew which line Thomas, Judge of Buncombe co was frm! Who was his wife? Surely someone knows. 1870 Buncombe Co... > Thomas F. 47 > Margaret 44 > Cintha 13 > Jervis J. 8 > Mary 6 > Melvin 24, brother**this would seem to be Benjamin Melvin s/o James Benjamin Revis. If so than Thomas F. would be his bro- ther, BUT records indicate he was born 1835..and he was 25 on the 1860 census, along with Margaret 22, Sophinia 2 and Thomas BS one month old. They both gained a couple yrs on this census! 1850 census Buncombe co has the following Thos Revis' William son Thomas H. 7 bca1842 Robert son Thomas A. 5 bca1845 George son T.M.S. age 16 bca 1834 James B. son Thomas 14 bca1836 1860 census Buncombe Co William - son Thomas 18 (Thomas Henry) Thomas 27 dw#79 and Elizabeth 32 (Ball) Thomas 25 Dw# 667 and Margaret (Sophinia 2 and Thos B.S. 1 month) 1870 Buncombe co 3 Thos pg 203, 174, 178 who? don't have complete census data 1870 Buncombe Co Thomas 36, E. Ann 42, Laura C. 13, Alice 10, Martha A. 8, Dixie V. 5, Marion, L.R. 2, Merrill 31 who is Merrill? 1870 Madison Co Thomas H and Mary Ann So we have only solved one Thomas, Thomas Henry s/o Wm N. Who were fathers of: Thomas married Elizabeth Ball Thomas married Margaret ?? Then we have an extra Thomas or two not identified frm same area of Buncombe/Madison Counties. We sure need some input on this, so we can define father of the two referenced above. *Barb
