I have combined the Thomas information from the Book "Wilson County, North Carolina Cemeteries, Volume III" and the book "Old Albemarle & it's Absentee Landlords". The information below is a mixture of fact and SPECULATION--especially the birthdates--which are marked circa. If you have birthdates for any of these folks, please send them to me & I will compile the info & resend the corrected information to Thomas-L Mailing List. One thing that looks strange - John Thomas b. 1735 d. 1775 must have had a lot of twins - because there's no way that 22 children could have been born between 1755 and 1775. Either his death date is incorrect or something is totally wrong here. I would appreciate your comments.
