Classification: Will
Surnames: Pagett
This is a transcription I did of this document which is in the files at the Jennings County Public Library - not from the books at the courthouse but the actual will. A number of old court files were given to the Library years ago because they were damaged by a leaking water pipe. Over the years they are being cleaned and copied (we still have the originals in our Archives. I was working from a new copy of the original. They are hard to read and I do the best I can but do not change spelling - I use this particular will as a teaching aid when giving classes on doing Family History at the Library because it illustrates how name spelling can be different in one set of documents. Pagett is spelled at least three different ways. It is also a will and a codicil and has the proof of will with it. So using all these you can see that he signed the last version of his will on October 23, 1862 and it was Proven on October 30 of 1862 - since the will is proven in court after the Testator's death it means he died between those dates. Lots to learn in one set of documents. Sheila Kell, Local History & Genealogy Librarian, Jennings County Public Library.

Subject: [KYBOURBO-L] Moses Thomas, PART FOUR
Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2002 21:23:10 -0500
A study of Loudoun County Personal Property Tax Lists 1782 - 1784 and Loudoun County Land Books 1782 - 1787 show James Whaley or James Whaley, Jr. in the very close neighborhood of [5] Moses Thomas. The Loudoun County Personal Property Tax List 1785 shows the "estate of James Whaley" indicating said James Whaley, Sr. is dead. [5] Moses Thomas witnessed a codicil 8 July 1784 to the will of James Whaley in which will said Whaley named as his daughter Elizabeth Remey "known as Whaley" (Will of James Whaley, Loudoun County, VA 8 July 1784 - 9 Aug. 1784).
Shortly after the will was written [5] Moses Thomas married third Elizabeth Remey "known as Whaley" born 1755 to James Whaley and his sister/law Barbara Remey while he was married to Lydia Ann Remey, both daughters of Jacob Remey, Sr. who died in Loudoun County, VA Abt. 10 September 1787. The birthdate of Elizabeth Remey "known as Whaley" is confirmed by Bourbon County, Kentucky Circuit Court suit #1236, 12 September 1848 - September term 1852.
The following records confirm beyond a doubt that Elizabeth, wife of [5] Moses Thomas was one of seven illegitimate children born to James Whaley and Barbara Remey while he was married to her sister Lydia Ann Remey - -Loudoun County, VA Order Bk A:98 and 208, the Loudoun County, VA Will 1787 for James Whaley.
Elizabeth, wife of [5] Moses Thomas may have been the first illegitimate child of the seven named in the will of James Whaley since the orders aforementioned refer to a base-born child born six months previous to 9 May 1758. Six children were born to [5] Moses Thomas and Elizabeth Remey "known as Whaley."
They were: [551 Mary Ann "Polly" Thomas born ca 1785, [561 James Thomas, [57] Robert Thomas, [581 Emma "Leanna" Thomas - - all born in Loudoun County. Four more children were born of this marriage in Bourbon County, Kentucky. They were [591 George Thomas, [50] Henry Thomas, [5A] Elizabeth Thomas and [5B] Sally Thomas.
[5] Moses Thomas appears frequently in Loudoun County orders 1783 -. 1790. Bk M:22, 1790, orders [11] William Mitchell to pay unto [5] Moses Thomas 500 pds. tobacco for witnessing 20 days in suit William Mitchell vs. Lane. Fairfax Order Bk 1788:87-91, 19 March 1790 names [5] Moses Thomas admstr. of estate of Benjamin Clark Payne deceased.
Said Payne was killed during a fox hunt by his horse slipping at a jump ("The Paynes of Virginia" p. 249, Brooke Payne).
Loudoun County Order Bk P:120 (1792 - 1794) show Moses Thomas Lt. of 57th Regiment of the first Battalion Officers Recommended in Militia of this county 14 May 1793.
(p. 144) Records were found for the years 1791 - 1794 which indicate [5] Moses Thomas was much involved with the business of Frying Pan Baptist Church in Loudoun County (Frying Pan Baptist Church Records 1791 - 1798,
Reel #225, Virginia Room, Fairfax County Library). It appears evident he was involved with this group before 1791 for which period there are no records.
The minutes disclosed:
13 May 1791, Moses Thomas is chosen for clerk.
20 June 1791, Church satisfied with report of Brother Thomas and Brother Jackson concerning Sister Blinco.
23 July 1791, Moses Thomas was appointed messenger to the (?) association.
23 March 1792, Moses Thomas's JUDAH suspended from communion for telling an untruth. Brother Coleman and Brother Moses Thomas appointed as messengers to Bull Run next meeting.
17 January 1793, Brother Moses Thomas is to give Brother Helm notice to attend the next day of business.
17 October 1793, Brother Nicholas (Nichols) applied for dismission and was directed to clerk for same (Compiler believes this notation may refer to the husband of Elizabeth Thomas Nichols, niece of [5] Moses Thomas.).
17 July 1794, Robert Jackson and Moses Thomas appointed to attend association 17 July 1794.
16 October 1794, negro JUDAH ?Reston belonging to Brother Thomas, Sister Cockerill, Brother Thomas to have dismission." | Thomas, Moses (slaveowner) (I21104)

On 15 Nov. 1797 [52] Joseph Thomas was issued a Bourbon County, KY warrant #2995 which was surveyed for [5] Moses Thomas on 24 May 1780, containing 250 A. on Rocky Ford fork of Licking. This same warrant was granted 29 March 1799 to [52] Joseph Thomas assignee of [5] Moses Thomas.
The Land Books show 1814: son [54] Samuel is on 133 1/3 A. on Strode Creek, Bourbon County owned by [5] Moses Thomas; son [53] Ely is located on 135 A. on Stoner Creek, Bourbon County owned by his father; [52] Joseph is located on 200 A. on Strode Creek, Bourbon County owned by [5] Mose Thomas; and [5] Moses Thomas has 1,401 A. in Montgomery and Clark Counties other than the 145 A. where he was living on Strode Creek.
(p. 152) [5] Moses Thomas was dead by December 1818 but Bourbon County Land Book 1820 shows the following descendants "on Moses Thomas land": son [53] Ely R. Thomas situate on 130 A. on Strode Creek; [53] Ely R. Thomases son/law John Thomas is situate on 130 A. on Strode Creek; [54] Samuel Thomas situate 260 A. on Strode Creek; widow Elizabeth Thomas situate 150 A. on Stoner Creek.
To understand why [5] Moses Thomas was living 1814 on 145 A. on Strode Creek, and why, 1820, his widow Elizabeth is shown living on 150 A. on Stoner Creek, one has to realize that the land is located where the forks of Stoner and Strode Creeks come together as it was reported in the William II. Thomas History in 1896, he being grandson of [5] Moses Thomas (copy of said history in Chapter III of this book).
[5] Moses Thomas devised by his will 300 A., location not specified to [56] James Thomas; [59] George Thomas was devised 1/3 of 629 A., location not specified, and 1/4 of the Slate Creek tract in Montgomery County. Daughter [55] Mary Ann "Polly" Thomas was devised 198 1/2 A. which [5] Moses Thomas purchased of Robert Dickey; [58] Ann Thomas Greenwade was devised 300 A. or one equal half of 600 A. of same land; [5A] Elizabeth Thomas was devised 1/3 of 629 A. adjoining her brother [59] George Thomas and 1/4 of a tract lying on Slate Creek in Montgomery County, KY; [5B] Sally Thomas was devised 1/3 of 629 A. adjoining property of brother [59] George Thomas and 1/2 land lying on Slate Creek in Montgomery County; the heirs of [57] Robert Thomas - -
[572] Moses Thomas, [573] Jackson Thomas, [574] Robert Thomas, [571] Evalina Thomas - - were devised 300 A. where their father formerly lived or one equal half of 600 A. and who are shown on 300 A. on Slate Creek in Montgomery County by the Bourbon County Land Book 1820; the sons of [53] Ely R. Thomas were devised 150 A. providing for said Ely to live thereon until his death but could not sell said land; wife Elizabeth was devised 165 A. where [5] Moses Thomas was then living with son [50] Henry Thomas to receive this property at his mother's death (Bourbon Co. Ky. Will Bk F:203, 19 Sep 1818 - Dec. 1818).
The Bourbon County, KY Census 1810 show [52] Joseph Thomas, [53] Ely R. Thomas and [54] Samuel Thomas living in the census neighborhood of their father.
The family history written by William H. Thomas (found in Chapter III) states [54] Samuel Thomas's house was located 1896 on the sane tract as that of his father, still in good repair at the turn of the century.
(p. 153) It is apparent [5] Moses Thomas or his children owned most of the land 1818 that had been granted him for his Revolutionary War Service 1778-1779. The area of Bourbon County near North Middletown where [5] Moses Thomas and his sons by his first and second marriages were located, is now known as Xalapa Farm
On one part of this farm is the residence of the farm manager (1978) who reported a matter of interest to this history. As carpenters were preparing the home 1977 for his residence, they sawed through logs in the kitchen area of this beautiful old plantation home. This home is about 250 yards from the small cemetery where [5] Moses Thomas is reported to be buried. Could the log structure have originally been the home of [5] Moses Thomas or that of his son [54] Samuel Thomas.?
The Bourbon Co. Ky. 1810 Census for [5] Moses Thomas appears as follows:
1 male under 10 years - - [50] Henry b. ca 1801, age 9.
1 male 10-16 years--[59] George b. 1798, aye 12.
2 males 16-26 years--?
1 male over 45 years--Moses, father.
2 females under 10 years -- [5A] Betsy, [5B] Sally.
1 female 16-26 years - - [58] Emma b. ca 1791, age ca 19.
1 female over 45 years- - Elizabeth, mother.
The will of [5] Moses Thomas names a total of 22 slaves whom he devised. One was "OLD JUDE", likely JUDIth of the Frying Pan Baptist Church records and possibly JUDY (JUDE on some tax records) whom his first wife received from
her father 1785, and whom [5] Moses Thomas devised to his wife Elizabeth.
The following newspaper article depicts the attitude 1815 regarding slavery in Kentucky. The 2 Aug. 1957 issue of the Paris, KY newspaper, p. 4, recites in 1815, a law passed that no new resident could come into Kentucky with slaves with intent to sell them. The new residents were required to take an oath regarding the new law. Personal slave traders were social outcasts in Kentucky at this time.
(p. 154) The will of [5] Moses Thomas appears below (Bourbon Co. Ky. Will Bk F:203, returned Dec. Court 1818). He was Abt. 78 years of age at his death. The appraisement of his estate can be found in Bourbon Co. Will Bk F:231.

Because of the mention of Neales Estate in connection with[5] Moses Thomas on Colchester Accounts a study was made of the accounts of Christopher Neale who lived next door to Henry Moore 1768 on whose property Moses Thomas (p. 137) was overseer (Loudoun Co. Va. Personal Property Tax List).
No mention was made of Moses Thomas in the accounts. However, a notation "The errors in charging the estate with 1/3 share of the overseer's share" appeared in the accounts. Henry Moore married Ann Neale administrator of the estate of Christopher O. Neale. A Jacob Thomas, identity unknown, who married widow Sarah Lucas administrated the estate of Christopher O. Neale (Fairfax Order Bk 1756:319, 18 Sept. 1759; Fairfax Orders 1750).
[5] Moses Thomas married first ca 1766 as determined by the proven birth date 1767 of his first child [51] Benjamin Thomas. The Wilson Miles Carey papers, Maryland State Historical Society, show Frances Read born 2 Nov 1750 married (Unknown) Thomas, she being daughter of Joseph Reid and Barbara Walker of Loudoun County, Virginia. Barbara Walker Reid later married Benjamin Berkley. Barbara Walker was the daughter of George Walker, Westmoreland County, VA Will 1744. Joseph Reid names his daughter Frances in his
Loudoun County, Virginia will 1761/2 when he devised her negro slave woman JUDY. The tithables list for [5] Moses Thomas of Loudoun County 1771 discloses he has negro slave JUDY, and shows Barbara Walker Read Berkley living next door to [5] Moses Thomas that year. Barbara Walker Read Berkley whose will is in Loudoun County dated 28 January 1785 - 12 December 1785 did not name daughter Frances who was then deceased. A study of the aforementioned Colchester accounts would indicate Frances Read Thomas was likely living 24 August 1768 when the large purchase of fine white material and dainty handkerchief was purchased by [5] Moses Thomas who remarried second sometime in 1771.
Further proof of the first marriage of [5] Moses Thomas to Frances Reid is found in Bourbon County, KY Circuit Court
suit #165 John Reid Heirs vs. William Payne 18 August 1804 wherein [5] Moses Thomas states he is brother-in-law of John Reid. Said John Reid is named son in the Loudoun County wills of Joseph Reid and his wife Barbara Walker Reid
Berkley. The Reid, Berkley, and Thomas families had been neighbors early in Westmoreland County, VA. Joseph Read was the son of Coleman and Ruth Read and was named son in the Westmoreland County, VA will of Coleman Read (Reid) 1747/8.
It is of interest to note Lettice Reid born 20 February 1754, who is sister to Frances Reid Thomas married Thomas Blinco who is mentioned next in relation to [5] Moses Thomas.
A study of the Personal Property Tax List confirms [5] Moses Thomas has moved 1771, not far away from the Henry Moore lease, and was living near several of the Lanes who were close to him 1768. On 4 October 1770 (p. 138) [5] Moses Thomas leased "200 A. including the plantation house where Moses Thomas now lives." Said lease was to run until 1 January 1791 with Moses Thomas paying yearly to Thomas Bunco, seven pounds of current money (colonial currency under English Crown), said land to be returned to Thomas Blinco with one dwelling house at least sixteen feet long and twelve feet wide, and a tobacco house at least thirty-two feet long and twenty feet wide. In addition, [5] Moses Thomas promised to plant "one hundred apple trees, one hundred peach trees in good regular order, keep them well pruned and within a good fence, and at the expiration date of the lease, the full quality acres of land uncleared in such a convenient manner, so adjoining the lott of Thomas Blinco." Witnesses to lease were William Lane, Jr., John King and Smith King (Loudoun Co. Va. Deed Bk K:398).
Loudoun County Land Books 1782 lists [5] Moses Thomas tenant of Fitzhugh Heirs above 20 year purchase on the rent of his lott, 200 Acres which indicates the lease from Thomas Blinco is now owned by Fitzhugh heirs - - Thomas Blinco having leased said land 1770 when his neighbors were then named as Phillip Noland and Thomas Lee (Loudoun Co. Va. 1:273). The land whereon Moses Thomas leased is now a part of Dulles International Airport.
[5] Moses Thomas married second ca 1771 Susan (?) Hutchison (proof of surname not found). The christian name Susan was provided by Bourbon County, Kentucky family members (Julia B. Ardery papers, Genealogical Records, Special Collections M:731, Box 17, Margaret I. King Library, University of Kentucky).
Several Hutchison families were shown on the Loudoun County Personal Property Tax List 1772 living nearby to [5] Moses Thomas. Hutchisons were neighbors later to Moses Thomas in Bourbon County, Kentucky.
Three sons were born to [5] Moses Thomas and Susan ? Hutchison, all of whom have Hutchison christian names - - [52] Joseph Thomas, [53] Ely R. Thomas and [54] Samuel Thomas. Susan ? Hutchison Thomas died prior to 1784 when it is known [5] Moses Thomas married a third time. It is interesting to note the Loudoun County Tithables List 1771 prepared by George Summers credits Moses Thomas with negroes GEORGE and JUDY. The like list 1772 shows he has acquired negro slave HANNAH. This may provide a clue to those persons who wish to continue research on the surname of Susan, second wife of [5] Moses Thomas.
The orders for Fairfax County 1773-1776 show Moses Thomas in suit with Alexander Lucas (Bk F:337). A determination to settle the suit was ordered to be made by James Coleman, George Summers and John Moss. The suit could
not be found. . . ." | Thomas, Moses (slaveowner) (I21104)

"LDS FamilySearch (http://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.2.1/94GY-3K2 : accessed 2013-10-12), entry for Polly Hardin:
"Reverend W. E. Arnold, in his 'History of Methodism in Kentucky' (Herald Press, 1935, v. I p 180), says:
'Another church in this section of the state was Thomas' Meeting House, six miles from Lebanon. Among the first members of this church were Owen Thomas and his wife.
Jacob Young, while making his first round on his first circuit, in 1802, came to this church, and has left us an interesting account of his visit to Father Thomas. He says:
"My next appointment was at what is called Thomas' Meeting House. I went to this place with fear and trembling, for I had heard many things of old Father Thomas. He was very severe on the young preachers, often telling them, if they could do no better, they had better go home. I prayed much on my way thither.
He met me at the door and gave me a very cold reception. He was a large man, of rough features, stern countenance, and of great decision; withal he was very rich and felt his own importance. He sat down and looked at me as if he would examine my head and heart, and I felt very uneasy.
Mrs. Thomas entered the room with smiling countenance, shook my hand, and gave me a hearty welcome. She was a fine figure, and reminded me of what I had read of Lady Huntington. Her mind was filled with good sense, and her heart overflowed with charity.
The congregation soon assembled. As the day was cold, and there was no stove in the meeting house, they concluded to have the preaching in the house, which was large enough to accommodated them. I arose under a heavy cross and went to a little stand. My Bible being in one pocket and my hymnbook in another, I was not dependent on any one for books. My congregation was gay for those early days; Hon. Robert Wickliffe sat before me.
I read my hymn, they sang, and I kneeled down to pray. The clouds dispersed, and in the light of Almighty God, I saw light. I had studied my text well, and the Lord gave me great liberty. Old Father Thomas wept freely, his brother shouted, and his wife praised God with a loud voice.
Brother Thomas was never cross with me after that day. I had a pleasant night and a most delightful morning."'" | Thomas, Owen (I41711)
