---------This Thomas has to be one of 3 Thomases that we know about below:
1. Thomas that d. in Louisa Co Va. in 1768
2. Thomas that d. in Union Co SC in 1794
3. My Thomas that d. in Laurens SC in 1806I realize that Thomas of Union is generally accepted as the son of Thomas d.
1768 of Louisa. However, something is wrong!Also, after eliminating one of the above candidates, the parents of one of
the other two is likely William & Mary Henderson of Louisa Co VA (see deed
books E & F 11 Feb 1788).all of these families have similar names, George, Sims, Anderson, Hendrick,
