| Notes |
- Thomas moved with his parents to present Pulaski County about 1768. He served with Henry Patton's detachment in the war of 1774, and served of 42 days.
After his father's death, Thomas received title to 335 acres of the homeplace on the headwaters of Neck Creek being part of 300 and 500 acres laid off for Samuel Cecil. He also received 217 acres further east on Neck Creek being the lands north of White Glades. In 1794 he had inclusive surveys made, one for 520 acres which included the lands from the homeplace, and the other for 425 acres which included the 217 acres. In adition he purched the White Glades tract of 320 acres from Thomas Pickens and his wife Sarah. (Summer, Annals, pp 924,925,929; Montogomery County Survey Book E, pp.100,156).
On the home tract, Thomas and wife Nancy Grayson, built a small cabin with a very large stone chimney which still stand today (1982) on the Guthrie place. In 1800 Richard Guthrie broght Cecil's 520 acres and his decendants are still in the same location.
