    Notes 
    • In 1782 Thomas, his wife Hannah, and some of the children moved to the Indian Creek area of eastern Lincoln County, North Carolina. Accompanying Thomas and Hannah were Daniel and Nancy (Lewis) Bentley; Meshack Davis, who had married Thomas and Hannah's daughter Lydia about 1774 in Rowan County; Richard Whiteaker, and his wife Rachel Bentley; and Thomas and Hannah's daughter, Margaret, who would later marry William Yonts in Lincoln Co. NC.

      Isaac Davis, son of Meshack, of Union County, Georgia, entered a claim for his deceased father's pension on 6 August 1853, stating that Meshack died "on or about the 15th day of Oct. A.D. 1852 and that his mother Lidia Davis died on or about the 15th day of July, A.D. 1847" [1]
