Followup to message #816.The three names mentioned in message #816 appear on the Amelia Co. (from which Prince Edward and Nottoway formed), Va. titheables lists as follows:
John 1751-53, 1755 (Two)
Joshua 1750-53
William 1747.
It now seems very unlikely that Thomas was the son of Richard I, since Richard's Thomas was probably a minor in 1734, when Richard's will was proved.
It is not clear whether Ann was Thomas' wife or another relative.Maybe, the three were bound out to the extra John above.
Hope this helps the Joshua researchers.
