| 23365 | Thomas and Anne Brownell lived for a short time after their marriage in London in St. Mary Cole Parish. In 1638 they sailed from London to America on the ship "Whale". They arrived at Braintree, Massachusetts, and then went on to settle at Portsmouth, Rhode Island. The earliest record of Thomas Brownell in Rhode Island is in 1647 when he was a witness to the will of John Walker on Mar 18 1647. That same year he was appointed a water bailey for the colony. In 1655 he was on the roll of freemen (citizens having full political rights and privileges) of Portsmouth. He was a member of the General Court of Commissioners of the Colony in the years 1655, 1661, 1662 and 1663. In 1661 a dispute arose between Thomas Brownell and John Porter concerning the boundary of land which Thomas had purchased from Richard Carder. At a town meeting on May 11 1661, it was ordered that the dispute be submitted to arbitration. That decision was given on Oct 1 1661, but no record was made of what the decision was. Thomas Brownell died on Sep 24 1664 at Portsmouth. The cause of his death was given as a fall from a horse. He was buried there in the Brownell Cemetery.

| 23375 | Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson (January 21, 1824 May 10, 1863) was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and the best-known Confederate commander after General Robert E. Lee.[2] Jackson played a prominent role in nearly all military engagements in the Eastern Theater of the war until his untimely death, and played an important part in winning many significant battles. Jackson was born in what was then part of Virginia. He received an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point. He served in the U.S. Army during the MexicanAmerican War and distinguished himself at Chapultepec. From 1851 to 1863, he taught at the Virginia Military Institute, where he was unpopular with his students. During this time, he married twice. His first wife died, but his second, Mary Anna Morrison, outlived him by many years. When Virginia seceded from the Union in 1861 after the attack on Fort Sumter, Jackson followed it and joined the Confederate Army. He distinguished himself commanding a brigade at the First Battle of Bull Run the following month, providing crucial reinforcements and beating back a fierce Union assault. It was there that Barnard Elliott Bee Jr., allegedly for Jackson's courage and tenacity, compared him to a "stone wall," which became his enduring nickname. Thomas Jonathan Jackson[5] was the great-grandson of John Jackson (1715/17191801) and Elizabeth Cummins (also known as Elizabeth Comings and Elizabeth Needles) (17231828). John Jackson was an Ulster Scots Protestant from Coleraine, County Londonderry, Ireland. While living in London, England, he was convicted of the capital crime of larceny for stealing £170; the judge at the Old Bailey sentenced him to seven years penal transportation. Elizabeth, a strong, blonde woman over 6 feet (180 cm) tall, born in London, was also convicted of felony larceny in an unrelated case for stealing 19 pieces of silver, jewelry, and fine lace, and received a similar sentence. They both were transported on the merchant ship Litchfield, which departed London in May 1749 with 150 convicts. John and Elizabeth met on board and were in love by the time the ship arrived at Annapolis, Maryland. Although they were sent to different locations in Maryland for their bond service, the couple married in July 1755.[6] The family migrated west across the Blue Ridge Mountains to settle near Moorefield, Virginia (now West Virginia) in 1758. In 1770, they moved farther west to the Tygart Valley. They began to acquire large parcels of virgin farming land near the present-day town of Buckhannon, including 3,000 acres (12 km²) in Elizabeth's name. John and his two teenage sons, were early recruits for the American Revolutionary War, fighting in the Battle of Kings Mountain on October 7, 1780; John finished the war as captain and served as a lieutenant of the Virginia militia after 1787. While the men were in the Army, Elizabeth converted their home to a haven, "Jackson's Fort," for refugees from Indian attacks.[7] John and Elizabeth had eight children. Their second son was Edward Jackson (March 1, 1759 December 25, 1828), and Edward's third son[8] was Jonathan Jackson, Thomas's father.[9] Jonathan's mother died in 1798 and his father remarried three years later. His father and stepmother had nine more children.[10] Thomas Jackson was the third child of Julia Beckwith (née Neale) Jackson (17981831) and Jonathan Jackson (17901826), an attorney. Both of Jackson's parents were natives of Virginia. The family already had two young children and were living in Clarksburg, in what is now West Virginia, when Thomas was born. He was named for his maternal grandfather. There is some dispute about the actual location of Jackson's birth. A historical marker on the floodwall in Parkersburg, West Virginia, claims that he was born in a cabin near that spot when his mother was visiting her parents who lived there. There are writings which indicate that in Jackson's early childhood, he was called "The Real Macaroni", though the origin of the nickname and whether it really existed are unclear.[11] Thomas's sister Elizabeth (age six) died of typhoid fever on March 6, 1826, with two-year-old Thomas at her bedside. His father also died of a typhoid fever on March 26. Jackson's mother gave birth to Thomas's sister Laura Ann the day after Jackson's father died.[12] Julia Jackson thus was widowed at 28 and was left with much debt and three young children (including the newborn). She sold the family's possessions to pay the debts. She declined family charity and moved into a small rented one-room house. Julia took in sewing and taught school to support herself and her three young children for about four years. In 1830, Julia Neale Jackson remarried. Her new husband, Blake Woodson,[13] an attorney, did not like his stepchildren. There were continuing financial problems. The following year, after giving birth to Thomas's half-brother Willam Wirt Woodson, Julia died of complications, leaving her three older children orphaned.[14] Julia was buried in an unmarked grave in a homemade coffin in Westlake Cemetery along the James River and Kanawha Turnpike in Fayette County within the corporate limits of present-day Ansted, West Virginia. As their mother's health continued to fail, Jackson and his sister Laura Ann were sent to live with their half-uncle, Cummins Jackson, who owned a grist mill in Jackson's Mill (near present-day Weston in Lewis County in central West Virginia). Their older brother, Warren, went to live with other relatives on his mother's side of the family, but he later died of tuberculosis in 1841 at the age of twenty. Thomas and Laura Ann returned from Jackson's Mill in November 1831 to be at their dying mother's bedside. They spent four years together at the Mill before being separatedLaura Ann was sent to live with her mother's family, Thomas to live with his Aunt Polly (his father's sister) and her husband, Isaac Brake, on a farm four miles from Clarksburg. Thomas was treated by Brake as an outsider and, having suffered verbal abuse for over a year, ran away from the family. When his cousin in Clarksburg urged him to return to Aunt Polly's, he replied, "Maybe I ought to, ma'am, but I am not going to." He walked eighteen miles through mountain wilderness to Jackson's Mill, where he was welcomed by his uncles and he remained there for the following seven years.[15] Cummins Jackson was strict with Thomas, who looked up to Cummins as a schoolteacher. Jackson helped around the farm, tending sheep with the assistance of a sheepdog, driving teams of oxen and helping harvest wheat and corn. Formal education was not easily obtained, but he attended school when and where he could. Much of Jackson's education was self-taught. He once made a deal with one of his uncle's slaves to provide him with pine knots in exchange for reading lessons; Thomas would stay up at night reading borrowed books by the light of those burning pine knots. Virginia law forbade teaching a slave, free black or mulatto to read or write; nevertheless, Jackson secretly taught the slave, as he had promised. Once literate, the young slave fled to Canada via the Underground Railroad.[16] In his later years at Jackson's Mill, Thomas served as a schoolteacher.

| 23376 | Thomas Pritchard's ancestors came from England and settled at Jamestown in about 1610. His brother, John Pritchard, saw three years of service as a soldier in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. In about 1832, Thomas Pritchard came from The Glades in Preston County and built the first mill on the South Fork of Hughes River, below Oxford, making the first settlement in that area. A certain Henry O. Middleton had given him one hundred acres of land in that wilderness as inducement to settle and to erect a saw and grist mill. | PRITCHARD, Thomas Jr. (I15786)

| 23377 | Thomas S. Morris' birthplace is given in the 1850 and 1870 Censuses as (West) Virginia, and in his death record as Harrison County. But the 1860 Census shows it as New Jersey, which is believed to be correct, since his family is known to have moved to Harrison County from New Jersey in 1818. His daughter Susan's death record states that her father was born in Trenton, New Jersey, 1850 Census, Lewis Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on Sep 28 1850: Thomas Morris, 43, carpenter; Adeline, 8; Mary, 7; Rebecca, 5; Racheal, 4; Sarah J, 2; Racheal White, 63. All born in Virginia except Racheal White, born in New Jersey. | Family: Thomas Smith MORRIS / Prudence WHITE (F8816)

| 23380 | Thomas worked for Hinkle Brothers as a laborer. He also worked for JT Martin, WV Welding and Mach Fab. When Thomas was younger, he was the caregiver for the Clydesdale team horses at Nathan Goff's Farm. During his later years he also helped raise and train Paso Fino horses at the Golden Ridge Farm. Thomas was a member of Oak Mound Evangelical Church in Clarksburg. He was known as the Patch Man around Clarksburg. | SNYDER, Thomas Arthur Lee "The Patch Man" (I20157)

| 23383 | Though her burial is marked by a monument at Pleasant Baptist Church Cemetery in Doddridge County, a memorial marker for her is also found at Smyrna Church Cemetery in Pike County, Missouri.

| 23384 | Though never married, Rachel at age 40 gave birth to a son, Silas Fluharty. Silas's father was said to be Lee Fluharty. Census records indicate that Silas was raised in the home of his grandfather, Christopher Seese Jr. | SEESE, Rachel J. (I31504)
|
| 23385 | Though not indicated as such, it is likely that he was barbering at that location. The only reference we have found to Virgil E. Powell's occupation being other than barber was in the October 1918 obituary of John B. Underwood, which stated "Interment was at the Underwood cemetery in charge of V. E. Powell of West Union." This would indicate that he was serving in some capacity as an undertaker. | POWELL, Virgil Eldridge (I10536)

| 23386 | Though only speculation, it is possible that Eli Clark Evans was named for Eli Clark (1790-1871), the well-known abolitionist at the time, http://waynehistorians.org/Places/site.php?site=1041 | EVANS, Eli Clark (I109393)
|
| 23387 | Though only speculation, it is possible that Eli Clark Gaston was named not just for his preacher father Eli Morris Gaston, but also for the well-known abolitionist at the time Eli Clark (1790-1871), http://waynehistorians.org/Places/site.php?site=1041 | GASTON, Eli Clark (I250)
