Notes

General:

[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #1953, Date of Import: Feb 26, 2002] Thomas courted his wife by swimming the Cape Fear River in North Carolin a, wadding his clothes into a ball on his head as he crossed. At about the time that one of his sons was 12 years old, (around 1824) T om left for the Tombigbee County of Alabama, the area around the present s ite of Havana, Alabama. In those days before the Civil War, this was the a bsolute frontier, withsavage Indians lurking in the edges of the forests.
