Guess I'll need to hunt around for info on Harvey. In Washington County, Va. Marriages 1853-1880, I found the following marriage: Thomas G. Null and Thurza L. Paragin, Nov 26 1879. Thomas is 26, widowed, b Wilkes Co, NC and a farmer. His parents are Noah and Sally Null. Thurza is 32, b Wash Co, and the daughter of John and Thurza Privett. On Sep 29, 1871, "Thursey" Privitt married John A. Parigin. In 1851-1891 Marriages Smyth County Va by Hockett., his brother John P. Null married Martha Cheeks on Jun 28, 1883. Interestiingly, he was born in Grayson County, VA. This might be your Thomas. If so, you might want to check both Wilkes and Grayson County for earlier records.
