Thomas Reveley 1813 - 1842 THOMAS REVELEY was born about 1813 at White Marsh. In 1830, Thomas was living with his brother John's family. Found in the Campbell County Heritage Book 1781-2003, page 54. (Just received, thanks Valerie!) Mount Vernon Baptist Church, situated in Campbell County on the south end of "Crews Shop" Road (656 St. Rd.), and near Route 24 in the Concord community, is well know as a county landmark. The origin of Mount Vernon church dates back to October 20, 1832, when a Constitution was unanimously adopted. The committee consisted of : Brethren John S. Lee, (1st recorded known pastor), Joshua Thornhill Sr., John Thornhill,Jr., Jesse Thornhill Sr., Jesse Thornhill, Jr., O. Doss, William Agee, Thomas Reavely, R.O.Doss, and sisters generally. He was mentioned briefly in a deed in 1836: 12th day of Nov 1836, ....HANNAH WATKINS to JOHN THORNHILL.....for the sum of three hundred and fifty dollars....a parcel of land lying n a branch of Pigeon Run....being one of the tracts of land willed to the said HANNAH WATKINS b her husband ROBERT WATKINS, dec'd. containing by a survey one hundred sixteen and 1/4 acres....beginning at SAMUEL CHEATHAMS corner hickory on the line that JOHN AND JAMES CARDWELL purchased of BENJAMIN WATKINS....thence to JAMES PANKEY'S line thence to corner in GEORGE REVELY'S line thence with THOMAS REVELY and JOHN CARDWELL line.... Financial difficulties befall the Reveleys. Legal documents (I still need to transcribe) show that in May 1837 brothers Thomas and John Reveley borrow money to produce the tobacco crop and, unable to pay, lose their 300 acres including furnishings and 8 slaves. In August of 1837, George Francis and John lose a slave named Arthur to Thomas Dillard because of a debt of $635. In 1841, John loses another slave and more furnishings. In the 1840 census, Thomas had moved to Lynchburg. He died in 1842 of tuberculosis.
