• Notes

  Thomas Jr. acquired 1600 acres of land in the Peaks area where his father was the first white settler. It is now almost entirely National Park in that area. Thomas's estate inventory was taken by John. I'm assuming this was his knownr John. Thomas had written his will about 20 years previous to his death and had simply mentioned his children in his will without naming them. His will was probated in 1793 in Bedford Co., Virginia.
