Laura:
I have been away from home for over a month and will be spending some time catching up to normal day to day activities but will look at the information you have provided and compare our notes.Without going into a great deal of detail about land transactions and "moves" from state to state, we could be talking about the same family.Oftimes, even though land records may show a move by a family, the move (to S. Carolina for instance) may have never occurred.Rather, some of the family may have moved and listed the entire family or family head in the census to protect and preserve the free land provided by the new jurisdiction.In this case for instance, Thomas Jr. may have moved to set up the new homestead in his father's name.I will get back to you as soon as I have a chance to look into it.
Thanks,
Steve Matthews
