At first I thought that Mary Jane and Thomas were siblings but after looking at what John sent I believe that there is a good chance that your James Armstrong b 1712 and my Thomas's grandfather Joseph b. 1711 were brothers.

The mother Annie was born in SC as was Griffin. Cannot remember the other female off the top of my head. There also was a Joseph Wright who I believe was the other son of Solomon. Solomon had 4 sons and 4 daughters. All of the above were members of the Mt. Hebron Cumberland Church at Norris Creek. Exception is Griffin for I cannot find his name on the membership list. But some of the above could have been Baptist before the Mt Hebron Cumberland Presbyterian church was started. Elizabeth Wright married to William Cone 11 Feb 1840 was married by John Gilbert.
