Thomas H. Hair b. ~1825 Sampson Co., NC
Looking for any information on the origins of Thomas H. Hair or Hare b. abt. 1825ish in Sampson Co., NC
He shows up in the 1850 census there (Sampson Co., NC on page 375) as being 25, wife Patience age 36, Sally 10 Nanny 9, Alexander 6, Henry 5, Thomas 2, Elizabeth S.? 1/12 also listed are Robert Williams 18 and Tomsel Williams 13(Robert and Tomsel are children of Patience's from her first marriage to Thomas Williams.
I believe Thomas _may_ be the same Thomas Hair referred to as a brother of Raiford and children of Sarah wife of Jacob Lockerman (d. abt. 1845)The only other Thomas listed in 1850 is 52 and I believe a brother to John Hair 59 (I suspect that these 2 may be a son of the John Hair that left a will in 1809 in Sampson Co., NC
I have read speculation that Patience's maiden name was McFarlin or McFarland, I've been unable to find a McFarland family in the vicinity though at the appropriate time.I would like to try to trace her first marriage to Thomas Williams.
After the 1850 census, the family moved to Buncombe Co., NC .There in 1860 in the Swannanoa section we find Thomas Hare age 37 Patience 40, Robert 22, Tomsel 20 (last name was not noted as different in the transcription I need to check the original.)Sarah 17, Nancy 16, Henry 14 Thomas 12, Elizabeth 10, ?Harriet? 8, Sophia 6(I believe Harriet is a misinterpretation of Jennet or Jannet)
In 1870 the family is still in 1870.Thomas is missing (was he perhaps in the Civil War?)
We have in the Fairview Community
Patience Hair 60
Henry 20
Betsey 18
Thomas 17
Jennet 14
Sophia 13
Also Sarah is not listed in this census, she married Pharoah White in 1875 in Buncombe and the marriage record listed her as Sarah White - could she have been married before 1870 to someone else with the surname White?
This is most all of what I have on this family.I have been trying to sort out the Hare's of Sampson County, NC but haven't quite found a family to tie Thomas to.If you can help, please let me know.
Thanks,
Avery
