Friends, My most wanted Thomas is Michael. He was in Rockingham County NC as early as the late 1770's. Rockingham was then Guilford, Rowan, or Orange County depending on the years. Michael was married to a Barbara, some suppose Harrensparger from Culpeper Co. Va. but I have my doubts. This Michael may have been from Culpeper because documentation shows Thomas neighbors who were from that area. Family legend says that Michael was called "Dutchman" which leads one to believe that he was of German descent. Michael died circa 1817 and left a will. He lived in the Matrimony/Whetstone Creek area near present day Shilo crossroads and Settle's Bridge. Any information on Michael, his origin, ancestors or descendants would be appreciated.
