Hi! Can anyone tell me where in Laurens County this land is located? I descend from Robert Thomasson through his daughter, Sarah "Sallie" Thomasson, who married Martin Gantt. I have Robert as the son of William Thomasson with Gideon Thomasson as a brother to Robert. Not sure about the Frances Thomasson or the Joseph Thomasson as I have not researched this line much. Any information on the Thomasson family will be greatly appreciated. I have some on the descendants of Robert Thomasson from both marriages (first to Polly Hand-d/o Robert Hand/Hanna and the second to Nancy Owings.) I descend from the first marriage.

In any case, here is an interesting deed. Deed Book O, page 202, 1849, has Roderick R. Gary mortgaging 150 acres on Rabun Creek to Leonnah Kennedy. Borders Robt. Thomason, Gideon Thomason, Joseph Thomason, Frances Thomason, and Thurman Coker. Deed O-105, 1842, has Roderick mortgaging the same land to John N. Young, except that it is stated to be 139 acres. Bordered N. by Robt Willis, S. by Thurman Coker and Frances Thomason, and W. by Robt Thomason. The interesting thing here is that this land on Rabun Cr. is quite a distance away from where Rody and Leannah Kennedy lived. It is my guess that Leannah was essentially loaning money to Roderick, who might have been the husband of a Kennedy daughter. Good guess or bad? --------------------------------- Sneak preview the all-new Yahoo.com. It's not radically different. Just radically better.
