Your Thomas is not in my line I do not think.Here are some things at the beginning for my Thomas.At the end are other Gary's that may be in your line.I have no Bush in this early line.There is another fellow searching for a Gary family with a Bush.
Look at this thread: http://genforum.genealogy.com/gary/messages/419.htmlhttp://genforum.genealogy.com/gary/messages/419.html
The exact date of Thomas Gary's will is lost as well as the will itself. The inventory, by Bernard Sykes, Richard Huekland and David Goodgame, 11 Aug. 1759, William Gary executor of the will. On 6 June 1759, John Gary of Martin's Brandon Parish, Prince George Co., VA., of the one part, to Josiah Gary, of the same Parish, for natural love and affection for my brother, Josiah Gary, a tract of land on Warwick Swamp and Butler's Branch, said land having belonged to Thomas Gary, deceased, who was a brother of John Gary and Josiah Gary and was devised to said Thomas Gary, deceased, by his father, William Gary, deceased, by the last will and testament bearing date 22 Nov. 1745, recorded in Prince George Co., VA.; wit. William Gary, William Wright and Mary Gary, deed recorded 12 June 1759. The William Gary Ex., probably a brother or his uncle, and Mary, who may have been his sister, daughter, or his wife. This may be the Thomas Gary who acquired land in Edgecombe Co., N.C., became ill and returned to Prince George Co., VA.

All not mentioned in this will to be my wife's and, at her decease, to be equally divided among my five children, viz: Sarah Gary, Mary Gary, Elizabeth Gary, John Gary, and Richard Gary.
I appoint my loving wife, Ex. of this my last will; wit. Wm. Reese, Richard Reese and Phillip Cloud. Inv.

(Since the daughter Sarah was not of age to witness this inventory, but the wife was, I think the wife's name may also have been Sarah)
