Lem, I don't have a birthdate but it would have had to have been in the mid-1840s or earlier because he was in the Conf. Army. His name was George C. Thomas, and he m. Clara Pylant. He had a brother named LaFayette Thomas who went by "Fate" Thomas. I wonder if he could have been an ancestor to the former Sheriff of Davidson County? Thanks, Bill Massey In F. C. & L. Most sincerely, William R. (Bill) Massey
