Notes |
- When reviewing the records it appears there were either 2 or 3 Thomas' in the area at the time of Thomas of Pledwick birth. The records indicate Thomas, a mason, living in Westside --- Thomas a mason, living in Hallgreen --- Thomas (no occupation listed) living in Westside. It is my guess that there are only two Thomas' in the area at this time. The existing records do not support three separate Stafford family lines in the area. Since the one Thomas that does not have an
occupation listed and lived in Westside, it is my guess that this is the same Thomas as the first one listed above that lived in Westside and was a mason. It is also my belief that this is the 3rd Thomas in succession within our family line. With those assumptions, I believe that our Thomas that married Mary Conway in 1749 is most likely the same Thomas that was born to the Thomas discussed above on February 8, 1728, in Westside. If that is true, then the following children and births would also be of t hat same Thomas: Joseph Stafford Christened 12/09/1727, Martha 03/23/1735. A reminder is that there were probably many more children born to this Thomas but, as is the case since the 1760's, not all children were listed in the christening records.
