PATERNAL GRANDPARENTS OF PASSINS ALVIS THOMASSON
THOMAS THOMASSON, born 25 Feb 1736/37 in Hanover Co VA; died 26 Aug 1818 in Granville Co NC. He was the son of George & Mary (Pollard) Thomasson. Thomas married ANNE McALLISTER Abt 1759 in Louisa Co VA who was born Abt 1741 in Louisa Co VA; died Abt 1810 in Granville Co NC. She was the daughter of William & Elizabeth (Garland) McAllister.
Notes for Thomas Thomasson:(The following biographical account is from "Thomasson Traces, Narrative of the Thomasson Family 1677 - 1995" Volume II, by Curtis H. Thomasson & Marjorie B. Malloy) Thomas Thomasson was born February 25, 1737, in Hanover County, Virginia, the third child and second son of George and Mary (Pollard) Thomasson. His father had patented 1600 acres of land on the branches of Christopher's Run in 1736, a year and a half before his birth. Thomas was probably the first child to be born on the Louisa plantation (which at this time was located in Hanover.) His father must have been busy building his home, constructing a mill on the waters of Christopher's Run, planting crops, clearing land, and all the many myriad responsibilities of establishing a home on the frontier. This area of Virginia was sparsely populated and still infested with Indians when the Thomassons first settled on the land. Thomas grew up on the Louisa plantation and married a neighbor's daughter, Anne Mackalester, daughter of William Mackalester and his wife, Elizabeth Garland. They settled on a 210 acre tract of land which was part of the original 1600 acres issued to George Thomasson in 1736. Thomas and Anne were legally deeded this property in 1763 by George Thomasson, Sr which they sold on October 20, 1777, to Philip Carpenter. - - -About a month later on November 10, 1777, Thomas sold another tract of 350 acres between Duckinghold Creek and Christopher's Run to Thomas Gooch, evidently geting ready for his move to Granville County. About the month of December in 1777, three sons of George and Mary (Pollard) Thomasson moved their families to Granville County, Norh Carolina. Thomas settled on the west side of Fishing Creek in the Oxford District; Richard bought property in the Epping Forest District where he built a mill on his waterway that became known as "Richard Thomasson's Old Mill"; and John received a land grant on Fishing Creek. The Revolutionary War was in full progress at the time the three Thomasson brothers left Louisa County Virginia For North Carolina. Thomas drafted for service in the North Carolina Militia, but there is no record that Richard ever served in the continental Army. Thomas, who was forty years old at this time, was drafted for service in the North Carolina Militia soon after his arrival in Granville County. His son William Pollard Thomasson, who had just reached his fifteenth birthday, reported for duty in his father's place. This was customary practice at this time. After serving his father's tour of duty, William Pollard reenlisted i his own name, even though this was a time of almost constant defeat for the American Army. Why Thomas could not serve at the time he was drafted is not known. Family responsibilities probably had a great influence. Although he never served in the Continental Army or the Militia, Thomas furnished supplied on several occasions as evidence by claims presented to the Hillsborough Treasury Office in Granville County. On May 11, 1784, he was paid sixteen shillings for Claim No. 6389, and on another occasion he was reimbursed 3 pounds, 13 shillings on Voucher No. 42 (Revolutionary Army Accounts, North Carolina Archives, Vol VI, page 58, folio 3). Another son, James C. Thomasson, took supplies to his brother after the battle of Guilford Court House and was with him in the American camp. William Pollard Thomasson served in the army until the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, October 18, 1781. Thomas Thomasson, Sr had lived to the advanced age of eighty-one years when he died in November 1819. From documents in his estate file one can get a picture of his home and family t the time of his death. Three of his sons had moved to York District, South Carolina: William Pollard, Nathaniel and James C. Two of his daughters, Annie and Elizabeth, had married and moved away from home. His sons, George, John, Nelson, and Thomas, Jr, were living on property bordering the homeplace that was "lent" to them by their father when they married. Two unmarried daughters, Mary (called Molly) and Lydia, were still living at home and evidently had cared for their aged father until his death. Thomas was still maintaining a working farm even though he was eighty-one years old and had lost his wife Anne. He owned 520 acres of land which he farmed with the help of two Negro families consisting of two men, four women, and three young boys. At the time of his death he had just harvested a crop of corn, wheat, fodder, oats and tobacco. He also must have raised fruit, as he had an Apple Mill among his possessions. He grew cotton and flax and had a herd of twenty-two cattle, forty-two sheep, and thirty-one hogs. Thomas made his own whiskey at his still, and shoes for the family were made right on the plantation. His home was sizable as he had five rooms of bedroom furniture. According to the times in which he lived, Thomas Thomasson was a successful planter. His will was probated in the February 1820 term of court by his son George Thomasson, whom he had appointed sole executor of his will. The large estate which Thomas had accumulated during the forty-odd years he had resided in Granville County became embroiled in controversy among his heirs. It was 1825, five years later, before a final accounting was recorded in the Probate Court of Granville County. The estate returns give a valuable insight into this generation and is probably the only good result of this squabbling among heirs. Special bequeaths were made to Molly and Lydia, as they were unmarried and still living at home. He lent them the homeplace jointly until their deaths, at which time he directed that all his property, including that "lent" to his sons, Nelson and Thomas, was to be sold, with the proceeds to be equally divided amongst all the children. Evidently Thomas intended that Nelson and Thomas, Jr would have to purchase their property from the whole estate at the time of their sister's death, with each child receivng a proportionate share of the money arising from the sale. Molly and Lydia were thirty-five to forty years of age at their father's death and must not have been expected to marry.
Mar 1818 - Granville County, NC (Will of Thomas Thomasson, Sr) In the name of God Amen the _day of March 1818, I, Thomas Thomasson Senr of the County of Granville & State of North Carolina, being of sound mind & memory (at this time) for which blessing I thank the Eternal Being, but calling to mind that all flesh (or in other words) the whole of the human family must yeald to death when ever it may please God to call, do make this my last Will & Testament in manner and form following (to wit) I lend to my son Nelson Thomasson one hundred & forty acres of land, so as to include the house and plantation where he now lives, to begin on the South Boundary of my land and run a due North course for that number of acres. I lend to my two daughters (sic) jointly, that is to say Molly & Lidy, a part of my land begining near my son George's house and to run as direct a course as can, so as not to include the house where my son Thomas now lives, untill it intersects the North boundary of my land. all the balance of my land lying East of the last mentioned line to be run, I lend unto my son Thomas Tomasson -The whole of my land which I have lent to my four above mentioned children, my will and desire is shall be sold by my Executor hereafter to be named as soon as the last one of my two daug (sic) above mentioned shall depart this life & the money arising from said sale to be equally divided amongst the whole of my children both boys and girls -Item I give unto my daugters Molly & Liddy two choice sheep each also one cow and calf each the choice of my flock one bed & furniture each their own choice, & my riding mare jointly known by the name of Nancey. Also I jointly give unto them a negro boy by the name of Sam, - Item my will & desire is that immediately after my death that my executor to sell the whole of my personal estate which I have not herein give to my two above mentioned daughters, and the proceeds thereof after paying my just and lawfull debts, to be eqally (sic) divided amongst all my children (except one hundred and eighty dollars which sum I wish to be deducted from my son John Thomasson's part of my Estate, - which sum I wish to be equally divided amongst the remainder part of my children. Lastly, I constitute and appoint my son George Thomasson, Executor to this my last Will and Testament as witness my hand and seal the day and date above written - Thomas Thomasson (Signature) Witness: Thos Cooke, Jurat, Benja Thomasson, James Clay -----------------------------------------------16 Dec 1819 - Granville Co, NC (Inventory of the Estate of Thomas Thomasson) The sale of the property took place on the 29th, 30th and 31st of December, 1819, and again on the 14th of February, 1820. James C. and Nathaniel Thomasson, who had moved to York District, South Carolina, were present at the sale and made purchases from their father's estate. Lemuel and Willia, Jr, sons of William Pollard Thomasson, deceased, also from York District, South, were persent at the sale and made several purchases. It is interesting to note that in the above sale, most of the Negroes, belonging to the estate of Thomas Thomasson, Sr were purchased by the sons who had moved to York District, South Carolina - James C., Nathaniel, and Lemuel and William for their deceased father, William Pollard. James purchased a Negro man, a Negro woman and child, and another Negro woman with two children. Nathaniel purchased a Negro man, woman, and girl, evidently a family. Lemuel purchased a Negro girl Charlott. When the executor George Thomasson called upon the purchasers of the estate to pay or enter into bond with security for their purchases, James Thomasson disclaimed having purchased Esther and her child Willis for himself. Rather he claimed that he had bid for them for his sisters, Mary and Lydia. The money was therefore taken from the sister's account, and the Negroes delivered into their possession. Molly died in January, 1823, about five years after her father. Lydia, the surviving spinster sister, decided to move to York District, South Carolina, where three of her brothers had moved. Her brother James came to Granville County to help her move, taking the slaves Esther and her children (three by this time), and also Sam who had been willed to the two girls jointly by their father. Parker F. Stone, court appointed administrator of Molly Thomasson's esate, filed suit March 8, 1823, to stop the removal of the Negroes from Granville County until a division and settlement of Mary's estate could be made. Another suit was entered by George Thomasson, executor of Thomas' estate, against Nelson Thomasson as security for his brother Nathaniel, who "lived out-of-state in South Carolina." It seems that Nathaniel never paid the balance of $400 for his purchases from his father's estate sale. Nelson, as security, was sued for the money. Hard feelings between the children of Thomas Thomasson were evident in the settlement of his estate. Lydia never moved to South. She stayd in Granville County until her death in 1846. (Note: Among the items in the inventory were 10 negro slaves: 4 women named Fanny, Easter, Milley, Charlott; 2 men named Jack & Richmond; 1 girl named Winney; 3 boys named Willis, Henry & Sam (Sam willed to Lydia & Mary) 4 head of horses; 1 mare willed to Lydia & Mary; the cattle, sheep, hogs and crops mentioned above & all the other considerable amount of household/farm property)
