Thomas buried in the old state road which then came down Hughes creek. He was buried in the road and the dust carefully leveled back and a brush dragged over the grave and road for some distance to keep the Indians from finding his remains and getting his scalp. When the James River and Kanawha Pike was being laid out in 1824, it was located on the old State Road bed and of course on the grave. Edward Hughes, a son of Thomas, then a very old man, hearing of this, appeared and ask them to change the location to where it now runs
