Thomas,K
by Clarence McDaniel July 1996

Thomas, the youngest son of William, was born about 1755 in Granville
County. He lived all his life at the homeplace and was likely buried in
the family burial ground beside his father and mother. He married
Charity about 1776. Her surname may have been Russell as a deed record
shows Thomas, through his wife's interest, as sharing a deceased child's
interest in the estate of Twitty Russell. Thus Charity could have been a
grandchild of Twitty Russell. Tradition, however, has labeled Charity
with the Wood surname. Members of the Wood family were longtime
neighbors of the Paschall family so this is also a good possibility.

The tradition has always been that Thomas was the son of William and his
first wife, Reliance. This may be the case but the writer is not aware
of any evidence to show this as fact. Indeed, it would seem that for
this to be the case, Reliance would have been approaching fifty at the
time of Thomas' birth. There is the likelihood that an as yet unknown
wife may be the mother of Thomas and others of the family.

Thomas received from his father the southern portion of the 1749 grant
bordering on Cabin Creek. He eventually received the homeplace as it was
only loaned to his stepmother, Tabitha, for her lifetime. In his
lifetime Thomas accumulated a considerable amount of property. He
acquired quite a bit of the original Paschall land including some of
the land in Granville County. He seems to have acquired most of the
Warren County property owned by Samuel,D, and his son, William, D3. He
gave William, D3,'s land to his son, John, K5.

Thomas appears on a number of estate proceedings and estate sales in
Warren County; he administered some of these, apparently as a close
friend to the deceased.

Thomas died, intestate, in 1821 but the subsequent estate proceedings
named all his sons, daughters and son-in-laws. Most of these children
remained in Warren and Franklin counties for their lifetimes and their
descendants today constitute the great majority if not all of those of
the Paschall name living in the area. Even though a Bible belonging to
Thomas was bought at the estate sale by his son, Michael, no Bible record
as such has ever been forthcoming and no exact dates of the births of the
children are known.

Thomas had by his wife Charity, six sons and five daughters an account of
whom follows:

Nancy,K1

Nancy was born 1774 and died after 1821. She married Richard Wadkins on
September 30, 1796. They had a son, Richard, who had wife, Nancy, in the
1850 census. This could get confusing.

William,K2

William was born about 1778 and married Martha Wilson on March 12, 1807
in Warren County. He lived his lifetime on land his father gave him in
Nutbush District of Warren County. He reared a large family and died,
testate, just after the census of 1850. He named his children in his
will but the author thinks that one son, William E, was not named.

Thomas,K3

Thomas was born about 1779 and is presumed younger than William due to
the aversion of most fathers at this time to the naming of the first son
for themselves. He married Sally Mabry and they had two sons and three
daughters. Thomas wrote his will in May of 1844 and it was probated in
July of 1846.

Mary,K4

Mary was born before 1782 and married George Smith on February 3, 1802.
She died after 1828.

John,K5

John was born 1784 and died 1840. He married Rhoda Pitchford and they
had one son and four daughters. John had a tavern and built a fine house
of which a photograph was made in the early 1900's. John died testate
and his daughter, Ellenor, was executrix of the estate. It was from his
son, Robert D., that the PASCHALL genealogist, Edward Early Paschall
descended.

Elizabeth,K6

Elizabeth was born 1784 and married William Bartlett on March 15, 1808.
They were resident in Grayson County, VA, in 1834.

Henry,K7

Henry was born 1785 in Warren County and died in 1833. Henry was the
rogue of the family, being involved in two child support bonds. There is
some question as to the paternity of the second and third children
attributed to him in this work but it seems reasonable. There is a
marriage bond executed in 1811 in which he married the mother, Polly
Capp, of the first son, Thomas Dennis,K71. Henry apparently separated
from her and a court record of February, 1813, details the child support
and names the son. Henry was elected the constable of Smith Creek
District in 1812 and his brother and father gave bond. The court and
deed records of Warren County show Henry posted bond for a child born to
Mary Langford in 1827. Henry seems to have moved to Surry County, NC, by
1830 with son, Thomas. The second son, Robert Chappin, appears on both
the 1850 census of Surry County, NC, and Randolph County, IN. Thomas
later moved to Guilford County, NC. Robert C is presumed to have lived
with his brother, Thomas, in Guilford. It is not known for certain where
Henry died but his brother, John, was administrator of his estate in 1833
in Warren County.

Michael Wood,K8

Michael was born 1787 and died after 1850. He married Elizabeth Wood and
reared a large family. Only two children were at home in the 1850
census. The son, William Henry, has been determined from a deed in Warren
County. The other children assigned to him have been done so by the usual
means of the process of elimination and association. No record is known
which names all his children.

Robert,K9

Robert was born about 1789 and died shortly after his father in 1822. He
married Nancy Haywood and they had only one child, a daughter named
Nancy.

Martha A,Ka

Martha was born 1795 and died after 1850. She married Ransom Walker on
April 13, 1809.

Bushaba,Kb

Bushaba was born after 1790 and was married to Joseph Taylor by 1821.
